Monument renovation using natural materials
Montessorischool Maastricht Maurer United Architects x Mosa
With Mosa's Cradle-to-Cradle tiles, we were able to design and renovate within the local context, just like Boosten did. The tiles also preserved the monumental character of the building. At the same time, we made sure not to lose sight of the functionality of each room, and so installed ceramics in the hallways, toilets, and kitchen and laid lino flooring in the assembly hall. The entire building now offers a quiet, solid basis that is given a further dose of expression and colour by its users – the pupils. Now that the project is complete and the new school term has begun, we can see how the renovation works are benefiting day-to-day activities and how users are now treating the building with respect. The whole atmosphere has changed for the better.
