The new sports is built as a volume levitating above the ground. The body achieves a clear and well-rounded geometry. As a result we get the possibility to use the area above the body of changing rooms for small-format sports (table tennis) as well as services and facilities areas.
The roof, stepped to the rhythm of the beams illuminates a large interior white space. The most important thing of the playing court is the activity, the sport and the play.
Inside, the building appears as a blank canvas, a big empty frame where sport is developed. Only the volume that houses the changing rooms, warehouses, and small-format sports appears contrasted in dark. As the choir of a gothic church, it departs from the central sports courts area facing towards it in a stair-shape way.
Outside, the green of the trees’ leaves, and their shadows are reproduced in the pixel pattern of the new pavilion’s façade. Ahead of this one, a polycarbonate skin blurs the colors of the façade and the real dimension of the building.
