Our friends from CEBRA shared their recently awarded Sports Center design with us. The 3.5 m2 extension will incorporate handicap friendly solutions within a sports facility, as almost 50 % of the students attending Egmont High School experience some form of disability whether it be that they are blind, mentally challenged or an amputee. Entitled Kolden, the Danish world for ‘the globe’, the project reflects the fact the everyone is welcomed in the facility.
More images, great diagrams and information about the project after the break.
The design of the sports facility is very focused on meeting the needs of their specific user type. For instance, to ensure that people with a handicap are able to easily navigate through the facility, the building is designed as one single space furnished with distinct elements that serve several different functions. These elements vary in both shape and texture as some are round, slick and boldly colored, while others are jagged, rough and more neutral. Although different, the elements are designed to complement each other and form a cohesive environment.
