The school in Hammer Bakker lies in a beautiful area, where nature and culture together create an exact landscape painting. The processing of the school's close surroundings takes its starting point by marking the crossing between the building's territory and the country 'cupboard' room. The idea is to specify and more intensify the border with ten-rotating sculpture elements that stage the closed room. Their movement together with the experience of the garden's flowering bed and the sculpture's inner strength make the place changeable and in turn a little special.
The Garden is thought of as a pattern, like a modern rear stall garden a square split up into simple geometry is part of a larger scheme that incorporates the buildings' volume.
The rear stalls garden consists of beds and trellis. The beds are stripes of herbaceous perennials e.g. lavender, sage, mint, and wild strawberries, all plants that are related to buildings and their cloister gardens.
The trellis consists of disks of flowering twining plants that depending on the place from which they are seen, stay transparent or become the garden's sculpture. The square's external limitation is sharp and is created by a small antecedent in the terrain marked with an iron edge, this, like the rear stall garden, is seen as an exact grassed bed within the large lawn that surrounds the school. The large lawns big oak is made to be the central attraction and is planted out by a circle of onions and blue squill that in spring, draw an imaginary Zahrtmannsk shadow under the tree.
