KEVN is a house for makers and viewers, with studios, exhibitions and a bar in the green surroundings. Superuse was approached to provide content and a design to the transformation of the monumental school on the Galileïstraat in Eindhoven. By placing a pavilion with a programme that fits the wishes of both the users of the school building and the surroundings, a connection is made with the other side of the street and the rest of Woensel-West.
The monumental school with its characteristic corridors has been renovated. By replacing the three high windows with doors at the back of the building, the school is now connected to the square behind it. The placement of an extrovert pavilion in front of the introvert school has provided an extra frame for part of the square and has brought new life to it.
The new building was built completely dry, so that it can be dismantled and easily rebuilt somewhere else.
