Salle de sport triple, Viège | meyer architecture

The building has a unique compact shape, composed of the sport hall and the administration area, which is lower and related to the surrounding buildings. The footprint is efficient and provides maximum surface area for sports fields outside.

The three independent halls have their own dressing room, spectator area and access. The stepped roof reinforces this functional feature and defines the boundaries of each hall. The north-east orientation of the steps provides optimal natural lighting for sport.

Foundations, walls and slabs are made of reinforced concrete and the walls of the hall take the load of the three steel beams of the roof steps. At sports field level, a bay window extends over the entire length of the building. This 46 metre wide opening is constructed using a pre-stressed, reinforced concrete wall, recreating the atmosphere and materials of an industrial building.

Heat is generated by remote-heating and the roof is fully covered by photovoltaic solar cells.
