Then comes Escher meets Einstein, which has been translated into an object that consists of layered cubes and makes associations with spatial scale levels. You start in the nest of Nature Takes Over, which has been translated into a tree house. Each nest has an iconic spatial object for recognisability and the character that goes with it. The theme nests correspond to the development stages pupils go through. Each floor has its own theme in the form of so-called nests. The juniors are housed in the new building. This transparency even extends to the open spaces of the juniors’ section in and even into the open teachers’ spaces. That is why the spaces had to be as transparent as possible, with as few blind spots as possible, but with cosy places where pupils can feel sheltered.

The educational vision is based on building a community. This breathes an atmosphere of homeliness and security and is equipped for various learning activities. In the new building part of the junior pupils, each floor has a large open space. Unlike classical schools, there are few traditional classrooms here. Lumion school believes that the way you decorate and design spaces stimulates behaviour and helps develop the learning process. They choose where and how they do this, this has become the starting point for the design of the interior. Students choose how fast they learn and at what level. From this perception, the learning activities are described and translated into learning processes. Each individual has their own learning path. In the educational concept of Lumion, the focus is on people, which is reflected in the physical learning environment.

Learning environment focus on human individual The interior also went through a major refurbishment. The junior students are housed in the new building section and the senior students in the renovated building. In addition, a new five-storey building section is added.

Part of the old practice halls is removed and part is renovated. The existing building is respectfully renovated. After a radical revitalization, a new ensemble of buildings, designed by atelier PRO had arisen in 2019. The building did not meet the standards of Lumion's educational ambitions. It now houses Lumion Amsterdam, a comprehensive school for pre-vocational secondary education (vmbo-t), senior secondary education (havo) and pre-university education (vwo).

This brutalistic building from 1973 was designed by architect Ben Ingwersen. The original school building on the Amsterdam Vlaardingenlaaan used to be the location of a secondary technical school.
