It is a visionary solution for building in dense and compli- cated city environments. The ground floor contains a grocery store and an entrance for the sports hall, park- ing and apartments. A double height glass façade on the second floor ensures pedestrians and neighbours a direct view of the activities in the sports hall. It create a connection between the building and the surrounding city.

The hall is open to public, spans over two floors and is highly adapt- able to different types and sizes of events and sports. Each of the functions is expressed by a unique use of materials, all part of the col- lective collage. After nightfall the pleated red- gold wooden facade will appear glow- ing in the escaping lights from the vertical ribbon windows that hit the warm tinted wood.

At daytime the ribbon windows lets a pleasant reflected daylight into the build- ing. 12 apartments make the top of the build- ing with an aluminium covered bay window from floor to ceiling and each containing its own private atrium and rooftop terrace.

A new typology has been created: Courtyard houses on the city’s roof. The apartments are an alternative to the classic villas and contribute to a diverse demographic composition in the area. In this way the complex programme of the building both adds to and integrates exist- ing functions of th neighbourhood. Source by Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter.
