Vision Dome Room + Workshop – New learning space on the school grounds

The Vision Dome Room is a sheltered learning and retreat space designed for year-round use and can be implemented together with students in a workshop format. This creates an additional learning place on the school grounds while also enabling a powerful process for self-efficacy, teamwork, taking responsibility and identification.

The Room is suitable for small-group lessons, support sessions, project work and learning groups, as well as counselling and retreat settings (e.g., school social work). With natural materials and its round spatial design, it creates a distinctive learning atmosphere that supports concentration, creativity and social interaction—enabling an “alternative learning mode”.

The build workshop runs 3–8 school days depending on needs (from grade 7 onwards). Students build the dome with our team in clearly defined roles and stations (e.g., preparation, fastening, painting, assembly). “Learning by doing” is the pedagogical core: the group experiences how many small steps become something visible and lasting—a space that can be used every day afterwards.

Construction: The Vision Dome Room features a spruce geodome frame and a timber facade (optional low-maintenance HPL). It includes 4 openable windows and additional see-through elements where needed. The Room is always delivered with a custom-fit platform and is founded on screw foundations incl. connectors—removable without residue and without large-scale sealing. Optionally, the Room Plus adds interior lining and insulation for increased comfort.

Available sizes are Ø 4 m (12 m²), Ø 5 m (18 m²) and Ø 6 m (27 m²).

Design and equipment are adapted to site and use; optional add-ons include seating modules and further equipment.

Eligible for funding via the Startchancen Programme (Pillar I & II). We have already delivered projects at several schools and other institutions.
