Description of project by DREI ARCHITEKTEN
The original sports hall of a school complex in Esslingen-Zell did not meet energy and fire protection standards.
It was replaced by a new triple-field sports hall with additional fitness and gym rooms, along with all necessary changing rooms, restroom facilities, and storage areas. All parts are organized on one level, including the spaces for the main technical installations. The windows of the sports hall, training rooms and changing areas in the east and west elevations allow the use of natural light and natural ventilation.
The green, slightly sloping roof of the sports hall is supported by laminated wooden beams. With the change of facade materials, the volume of the building is organized into two parts: a larger base section and the additional volume of the sports hall.
