Social pavilion at an Olympic Shooting Range

Firm
YEAR
2006
SIZE
10,000 sqft - 25,000 sqft
BUDGET
$100K - 500K
The building, with a rectangular shaped plan, is
placed with its back façade to the dominant strong wind, the Mestral, and
facing directly the shooting area, which is covered by a metal porch. Below the
shooting area there is a partly buried Olympic pit. The social pavilion is
resolved with a cube made of corten steel plates. Three pivoting doors,
boasting a clever system of counterweight, allow the complete opening and
closing of the main façade, in order to prevent intrusion and protect the
armoury inside.  All the other openings
of the building are protected with metallic latticework also for safety
reasons. Once inside, we can find a bar area close to the entrance hall. At the
back, there is a storage room, the armoury and two toilets –one of them is a
disabled access toilet-.
The decision not to varnish the corten steel plates of
the façade is taken so that, in a while, their texture and colour become more
uniform. The corten steel is easy to integrate with the surrounding densely
wooded area with mainly white pine-trees (Pinus halapensis).
In the area next to the entrance to the
shooting range, a parking lot is marked off with plane-trees (Platanus
hispanica) and a pavement made of local stones called “graveta ull de perdiu”
(partridge eye gravel).
