The only access is located in the same band where the installations should be and from where the main road is accessed. For this, it is solved firstly by means of a ramp from the road, which makes the views towards the building quite important, treating them as just another facade.
This split building is presented in small pieces of deformable and rearranging character to generate small access roads to the countryside and installations.
Project description by Santos y Mera arquitectos
In Campañó, on the outskirts of the city of Pontevedra, there was a compacted land soccer field with a dilapidated building for changing rooms. The planned action was intended to improve the field by making a new artificial grass pavement and providing it with new facilities for changing rooms, toilets, canteen, infirmary, stands and warehouses, as well as new lighting for the field and the urbanization of part of the surroundings.
The new building had its location conditioned by the topography and the affections of the high-voltage lines that are in the perimeter of the plot, therefore, given its surface, it had to occupy practically all the space available on the eastern side of the field, becoming a barrier between the only possible access from the road and the soccer field. A building is then proposed that organically plays in volume to adapt to the different functional spaces it must house, but which fractures to make it passable. This breakdown of the initial volume into small specialized pieces allows us to deform and rearrange them to generate small access roads to the countryside and buildings. In these smaller, cleaner, continuous volumes, the singularity is found in the cutting areas where the accesses and light inputs are concentrated.
The ramp access from the road to a higher level turns the roofs into one more facade and as such they are treated giving continuity to the facade material which helps to understand the buildings as part of the only initial volume, while the facades to the Inner streets are treated with a metal mesh that solves the void areas and marks the cut areas of that volume.
The interior spaces maintain the exterior shape of the buildings and the grandstand piece is singled out by partially emptying it to generate the covered grandstand.
The scale and volume of the pieces and ensemble evoke in the distance a small village at the foot of the access road, where a small square is configured from which the alleys that give access to the buildings depart and have as background the green of the countryside.
The construction solution adopted for the roofs and facades consists of a composite board for finishing high pressure and temperature compressed dry pine wood and cement fibers, in Viroc type, in 16mm thick gray, cut into sheets of dimensions 2990 x 615 mm, placed on a 40 x 50 mm pine wood batten. treated for risk class 4, with head screws of diameter 16 and colorless protector for exterior panel. Between the battens rock wool insulation placed on the outside of the 50 mm double density cover and facade cladding. thick, dimensions 1200 x 600 x 50 mm. fixed with plastic mushrooms by direct firing or drilling, including a breathable Tyvek-type sheet. In the case of the roofs, a waterproofing membrane of polyreal applied in liquid was placed on the slabs with the previous placement of the profiles for the substructure of the fixing of the pine strips.
