Sport Hall Cracow
Hala sportowa ZSOMS w Krakowie
This gesture is both powerful and gentle.
Instead of the planned courtyard buildings we proposed the demolition of an old, too small room and additions that had grown up over the years. The construction of a new hall in their place allows to maintain and clearly close the courtyard between the school, playgrounds and the street.
A strong rectangular shape, built into the already living structure, is absorbed by it.
The facade is not a hard division of space, it reacts with the environment - the courtyard enters the hall through high glazing, wooden facade becomes a terrace, pitches climb the facade, the roof of the changing room becomes the audience of school games and gives a chance to see the interior of the hall.
The game continues in the interior. Hall, level layout and staircase with a new elevator they allow you to go to the swimming pool from school and lead to its previously inaccessible floors.
The movement is completed by a play of views. From the hall floor you can see the pool water and the movement in the gym upstairs, the climbing wall looks at the auditorium of the hall.
The background is subdued to embrace the colorful and spontaneous life of the school. Raw concrete of walls and floors, light natural wood and steel dominate. Carefully dosed color helps connect spaces. Signs, boards, painted balustrade and selected walls point towards places, the dark blue floor of the hall flows towards the water in the swimming pool.
Continuity is also preserved in the sphere of habits. The previous activities have found a more comfortable place in the new spaces. A large hall replaced a small one, training rooms from outbuildings moved to a new building, the fitness room can be darkened and become a room for the school theater club.
New hall built into the existing structure has become a connective tissue.
