The design of BAMMP Arquitectos and XVA Arquitectura for the fitness room must be embedded between the different sports fields. Due to the natural wealth that it has around it, the building is designed to take advantage of the lighting and environmental quality and integrate into it for its "material transparency".
It is a diaphanous single-storey building, for the provision of different equipment. Wood is considered the only structural and constructive element, thus establishing a concordance with the nature of the environment and creating an atmosphere of comfort.

Description of project by BAMMP Arquitectos and XVA Arquitectura
The object of the project is the expansion of the existing multifunctional locker room, pool and gym building of the Atlétic de Terrassa Hockey Club, with a new fitness room visible from the general access areas as a claim for use and good practices in sports activity.
The new building has to fit into a space of reduced dimensions, surrounded by constructions and existing sports facilities. However, the presence of nature in its surroundings creates an atmosphere of great light and environmental quality that the building aims to integrate with its maximum material transparency.
The structural configuration formalizes the object. The space is generated from the arrangement of 2 large structural wooden girders of 18x100 cm and 30 meters long, separated by 13.50 meters and each supported by 11 10x68 cm pillars, which simultaneously support 11 10x64 cm crossbeams. that cover the entire space.
The building materializes using wood as the only structural and constructive element, speeding up the execution time (6 weeks) and reducing the cost of the project (€ 375/sqm).
This space is closed on both sides with a longitudinal glass composed of 11 units of 2.30 meters high and 5.60 wide that offers the necessary light transparency and protection.
The use of wood establishes an effective material synergy with the nature of the environment and creates an atmosphere of comfort for users. Likewise, the use of laminated glass is done with the intention of working with light as the essential building material, considering the positive interactions it generates in the environment and between people.
