Skolen ved Sundet

Skolen ved Sundet is a primary school in Copenhagen Municipality featuring modernist architecture with bright, open classrooms and corridors designed to maximize natural light and functionality. The building's layout emphasizes spacious interiors and practical design principles suited to an educational setting.

The school was founded in 1938 under architect Kaj Gottlob's direction with a mission to serve working-class children's education. The building is now protected as a cultural monument listed on the Kulturstyrelsen register.

The institution operates as a specialized educational center that provides tailored resources and programs for children with disabilities in the Copenhagen region.

The building underwent a major renovation in 2020 that restored its original color scheme with ten distinct paint colors used throughout the interior. When visiting, allow time to observe the carefully restored details and the way spaces are organized throughout the structure.

The building was pioneering in school architecture of its era and set new standards for how educational spaces should be designed in Scandinavia. Its innovative approaches to natural light and open floor plans later influenced many other school projects in the region.
