Adaptive Re-Use
San Francisco, California

Synergy School’s parents, teachers and student body wanted their new school to reinforce their strong sense of community and provide spacious and flexible classroom settings. The former mortuary was converted into eight classrooms, an art room, a staff room and support spaces. The 15,100 s.f. facility combines the traditional vocabulary of the original building with a more contemporary palette and bright colors to reflect the nature of the school as a vital learning environment.
