The project comprises the construction of a new neighborhood sports hall, including a large sports hall, an auxiliary gym, changing rooms with washing facilities, and a storage area for the equipment lending service. The plan can be read as an arrangement of three halls surrounding a T-shaped zone, which accommodates all secondary functions and forms the structural “backbone.” The halls are steel frame structures, with the large spans executed using simple composite, isostatic beams. Lateral stability is ensured both by cross-bracing and by the halls leaning against the massive T-zone. Special attention was paid to the precise detailing of the corners of the halls.
