The concept of the project is generated from the arrangement of the external space, which has been raised to the level of the promenade and the pedestrian bridge over the Passirio, connecting the difference in height between the swimming pool area and the one dedicated to tennis courts through the building. The project subdivides the program into two distinct rectangular volumes, which generate a new external public space by shifting between each other. It is a small square, which collects the pedestrian flows coming from the bridge over the Passirio River and from the town center, defining a meeting place and a new access to the outdoor swimming pool complex.
The project works through few simple elements. It is composed by pure and contemporary geometric shapes, but it is rooted in the place through its materials. Larch wood covers the bar and “stube”, giving warmth and atmosphere to the interior space. Dark pigmented exposed concrete is used in order to better integrate the building within the natural tones of the context. Local aggregates are used for the concrete and for the paving of the external paths and the square, evoking the texture of the gneiss from the Val Passiria, a local stone which has been used for the bar counter. The building has been certified as Klima Haus - A.
The design of the new sports center was a great challenge for the architects: 4 different sports activities with a common bar had to be hosted in a single structure. From the beginning the winning project convinced the municipal administration and later in the construction phase it was carried out to the full satisfaction of the Municipality. The structure is very functional and compact and the functions and paths are well planned and coordinated with each other.
