“Rethinking vernacular architecture to create a respectful, sustainable and contemporary building that is directly related to locals collective imagery”

We imagine the new Sports Hall of Žatec as a sustainable landmark settled inside a green park. The project is informed by old rural architecture by wrapping a complex sport program under one single pitched roof. The building tries to bring domestic atmospheres in architecture to a large scale project by defining small and medium interstitial spaces. By this means a unique and sensitive wooden roof underlines and confidently organizes the indoor spaces and programme.
