School Complex in Helmsange
When architecture shapes the future of the next generation
Born from a close collaboration between the Administration Communale de Walferdange and David Michels Architectes, the Helmsange School Complex embodies a clear ambition: to transform the school into a place of inspiration and learning — where architecture actively supports the development of children.
The project includes the extension and renovation of the existing school, the creation of a day-care facility, a sports hall, accommodation for the caretaker, and outdoor areas designed as true places for gathering and exchange.
The result: a contemporary, bright, and sustainable composition that combines architectural vision with a strong local identity.

Helmsange School Complex
An educational project built for the future
At the heart of the composition, a large sunlit courtyard forms the core of the project — a space for play, exchange, and outdoor learning, designed as a natural extension of the classrooms.
A covered walkway connects the existing school to the new buildings, ensuring fluid and secure circulation while encouraging encounters and a sense of community among students. More than a passage, it acts as a symbolic link that unites the entire site.
Designed with an eco-responsible approach, the project highlights timber and sustainable materials, reduces its carbon footprint, and enhances biodiversity through the integration of fruit trees and native hedges. It is an architecture dedicated to education — respectful of its environment and open to the future.
To Educate Is to Build the Future
This school complex is conceived as a living environment, where every space contributes to the growth of students and to the long-term vitality of the community.
