Sporting area Blanice in Vodňany - 1st place
The town of Vodňany has been developing sympathetic activities in the field of architecture, public space, and landscape over the last few years. As part of its strategic development plan, it has announced several architectural competitions (renovation of the Škorna pond area, reconstruction of the community center...). An architectural workshop re:Vodňany 2010 was also organized in Vodňany. The latest piece in the mosaic was the announcement of an architectural competition for the modification of the Blanice Sports Complex, with the aim of renovating and expanding the existing multifunctional building that houses the restaurant, changing rooms, and accommodation. The proposal was also to include solutions for broader relationships and additional areas of the complex. The Edit! studio participated in the competition with the goal of winning, and they succeeded!
1. Description of the chosen urban planning solution, including the proposal for the concept of the entire complex and its connections to the surroundings
The goal of the urban planning solution is to create a clearly and thoughtfully designed modern multifunctional complex that allows intuitive movement and use by all visitors. The area addressed, at the intersection of the town and the landscape, is clearly defined by construction and landscaping interventions. All activities are positioned according to the ideal north-south orientation of the sports facilities, and the design respects and appropriately complements this existing structure. The proposed activities (e.g., children's playground, skatepark, petanque court, outdoor fitness, basketball hoops) are concentrated in the northeastern part of the complex, while the space north of the access road remains free for occasional events.
The design preserves the existing main entrance to the complex from Staromostecká Street. Immediately upon entering, there is a parking lot for visitors, and the access road continues directly to the paved area and terrace on the southern side of the building, from which one enters the restaurant.
2. Justification of the chosen comprehensive architectural solution of the “building” object
A fundamental limitation of the architectural solution for the modifications of the building is the defined budget for the reconstruction. The main intention of the architectural design is to find a solution that can impart a new face and contemporary character to the building even within the constraints of a limited budget.
3. Description of the operational layout solution and material and construction solution with an emphasis on measures to reduce the energy and operational demands of the building – an estimate of thermal losses will be provided
Operational layout solution:
The proposed layout respects the client's conditions and creates three separate operational units that can be connected if necessary. The access road guides visitors directly to the terrace, from where the main entrance leads to the restaurant located in the new annex. The entrance to the accommodation section remains on the eastern façade, opposite it a reception is proposed (serving also as the manager's office), from which one continues to other areas via the staircase. The sports club has its own entrance on the northern façade, beside which are the toilets for spectators or visitors to adjacent activities. Given the limited budget, the design does not consider the installation of an elevator for wheelchair accessibility to the accommodation section.
Material and construction solution:
The load-bearing structure of the existing building will be preserved. Any openings in the load-bearing walls will be reinforced with steel I beams. The annex forms a simple rectangular mass with load-bearing perimeter walls stabilized by a crown, transitioning to a reinforced concrete ceiling slab. The annex will be founded on reinforced concrete strips. Due to financial reasons, it is not possible to independently address insulation of façades and their additional cladding, as this would incur additional costs. Therefore, the design insulates the building with Heratekta C2 031 façade panels at a thickness of 100 mm, which do not require and will not undergo surface treatment. The grid of the panels and their surface structure create a visually attractive whole. To highlight the horizontal lines of the individual floors, the building is clad at the level of the ceiling and roof slab with an insulation system made of mineral wool and plastered.
Estimate of thermal losses:
The building will be completely insulated and all window openings will be replaced. This will lead to a significant reduction in the building's thermal losses.
