Kirchbühl School Pavilion, Stäfa

The Kirchbühl school pavilion in Stäfa was initiated in 2025 and completed as early as 2026 after just five months of construction. The project was carried out under a general contracting arrangement and exemplifies efficient planning and precise execution. The rapid completion was made possible by the innovative modular timber construction method, which combines short construction times with high-quality workmanship. What is particularly noteworthy is that this is already the second school building in Stäfa to be constructed using this method. The project thus follows directly on from the Beewies school building and confirms the positive experiences with modular construction.

Sustainability and indoor comfort

The pavilion combines modern technology with sustainable construction. A photovoltaic system generates renewable energy directly on the building. Climate-controlled ceilings ensure a comfortable indoor environment, while acoustic ceilings create optimal learning conditions by improving room acoustics.

School President: “We were surprised at how quickly the building was completed. We were impressed by the efficient processes throughout the entire project.”

Architect: “When you entrust a construction project to a general contractor, you’re putting it in someone else’s hands. That’s why we appreciated the close and open communication throughout the entire construction period all the more. We were involved every step of the way and felt very well supported.”

Functionality and accessibility

The building also impresses with its well-thought-out design features. A vertical lift provides barrier-free access and ensures that all areas of the pavilion are easily accessible to everyone. The result is a modern classroom that combines functionality, comfort, and sustainability.

Head of Education: “Currently, three classes are already being taught in the new facilities, and yet there is still plenty of space available for future growth. Since the number of children is steadily growing, we greatly appreciate this additional space.”

The entire facility stands out for its successful color scheme and ideal location. DM Bau did an outstanding job here. We were impressed by the consideration shown during the construction phase. At first, we had concerns about traffic safety due to the heavy construction equipment and daily school operations. However, those concerns were quickly put to rest. The staff were extremely careful at all times and accommodated our requests; for example, deliveries did not begin until 8:30 a.m., when the children were already in their classrooms. The newly designed paths in the outdoor area are also very well done. At the same time, the grounds still offer plenty of potential for future landscaping of the outdoor spaces.”
