Text description provided by the architects. The  design  idea  pursues  the  goal  of  solving  the  architectural  conflict  between  the large  volume  of  the  new  sports  complex  and  the  small-scale  buildings  in  the  vicinity.  On  the other  hand,  the  new  building  was  to  be  embedded  into  the  existing  surrounding  landscape  without denying  its  function  as  two-field  sports  hall  and  club  sports  building.

Although  comparatively  massive,  the  building  blends  in  well  with  the  grown  contours  of  the terrain  due  to  its  set-back  upper  portion.  All  the  same,  precise  shapes  and  shimmering  materials allow  the  building  to  assert  itself  confidently  in  its  function  as  sports  hall.

The  main  entrance,  a  roofed  area  of  generous  propertions  on  the  north-western  side,  gives  the building  a  unique  identity  and  also  serves  as  a  small  grandstand  for  the  adjacent  sports  ground. Taking  up  the  terraced  shape  of  the  area,  the  bulk  of  the  sports  hall  is  devided  into  a circumferential  lower  section  and  the  higher  sports  hall  proper  as  centrepiece.

Section

Apart  from  honouring  the  classic  architectural  principle  of  "form  follows  function“, the symmetrically structured cubage of the building blends into the surrounding area as naturally as if it had always been standing there.

In  both  longitudinal  and  transverse  direction,  the  new  building  is  designed  symmetrically.  The foyer  opens  up  to  the  hall  and  the  transversal  access  corridor  running  along  it.  From  here,  the sports  hall  itself  is  already  visible  through  large  panorama  windows  with  seating  niches, offering interesting perspectives. Through the corridor it is only a short way to all functional areas of the building.

Based  on  an  economical  construction  grid  of  4,45m  lengthwise/4,60m  across,  the  new  sports  hall’s supporting  structure  is  a  lightweight  steel  construction  with  steel  girders.

Perforated aluminium  panels  (perforated  sheet  metal)  serve  as  a  rear-ventilated  rainscreen  around  the building,  preventing  it  to  heat  up  in  the  summer  months.  Together  with  the  aluminium  windows, the  materiality  of  the  facade  (anodized  aluminium)  reduces  the  maintenance  costs  of  the building.
