Dybkær School / Sweco Architects
Nestled atop Gødvad Hill, Dybkær School—also known as The School on the Hill—has become a vital community hub in the small Danish town of Gødvad. Awarded School of the Year 2024, it embodies a thoughtful design approach focused on fostering togetherness and bridging education with local life. The school spans three staggered levels where town and nature converge, inviting curiosity and interweaving school life with local recreational activities. At its heart lies a three-story "core space" featuring an internal hill that fosters interaction and connection across age groups and classes. Surrounding the school, a scenic landscape hosts play, learning, and activity zones, tailored for different age levels.
