The project of the architecture office Nova5 Arkitekter for an expansion of Dalby Skole in Kolding is distinguished by its playing through an exceptionally colourful score. With its expressionist use of colours on the 3,000 m² floor surface, the environment evokes an atmosphere of light and joy, of security and reflection.
An “educational staircase” displays a scale of eight tonal shades of green Marmoleum. It touches on the themes of growth and health, and also on the nuances of a step-by-step learning process. For the younger children, the staircase is based on blue tones, the symbol of peace and harmony.
Forbo Marmoleum was chosen for its wide choice of tonal graduations, in particular the yellow-blue and yellow-green colour scales.
