The primary school features a green promenade leading to the main entrance, offering views and a quiet oasis amid busy roads. The landscaped area includes tree planting, sports fields, a running track connecting school buildings, a small park with a sunken sports field, underground garage access, playgrounds for younger children, and south-facing outdoor terraces for the first triad, providing recreation for students and the Šentvid community.

The new Šentvid Grammar School sits as a compact building on the northeast edge, parallel to the primary school, connected by a sunken gym that buffers noise and creates a calm square.

Instead of the usual division of the school building according to the principle of "cells and bells", the competition proposal follows 20 "learning modalities" as defined by Prakash Nair, through which we create a wide range of diverse learning, working and social spaces that support the acquisition of diverse skills and competences for the 21st century.
