Södra Tennis Competition - Twist n' Shout
SÖDRA
TENNIS_twist n’ shout
One
simple wood structure that rotates 0.5º along an horizontal axis creating a
twisting roof surface that lowers its height at opposite corners, in order to
reduce the impact of the building in the privileged site in Välle Broar, facing
Lake Växjö.
A green “carpet” roof made of a fully-grown lightweight system (3
layer-in-one tile) -which is a superior system and the most cost efficient-
emphasizes the concept for a building that intends to become part of the
landscape, as if the rug had been pulled from the ground at opposite ends. The
mats are made from recycled, open-pore, soft foam, incorporating clay minerals
and plant nourishing elements as long-term fertiliser. The mats are installed
in situ with pre-grown wildflowers and grasses for instant impact. The mat
system has a water storage capacity of up to 25 litres, thus being a good and
cost efficient way of solving the water storm issue.
The building is thought from a crossed distribution of the
functions, with a central main access that makes it easy for users and visitors
to find they way in the centre and at the same time allowing an easy separation
of services related functions, without interfering in the course of an event or
training.
The
main rule of the space adjacent to the courts is fluidity and flexibility, so
the functions are “fitted” in different shaped boxes, independent from each
other and from the building structure itself. These boxes are mostly rounded
shaped free forms that hold the services/utilities functions, changing rooms
and offices displaced in such a way that a practical access is assured to each
of them.
The fact that these organic boxes are fluctuating creates an
overall perception of the twisting building structure from any point as well as
the platform on the first floor that allows a great amplitude and flexibly
spectator distribution to all of the tennis courts.
For the uses of the tennis centre for different sort of events,
like fairs or conferences, the great fluidity of the overall space of the
courts and adjacent areas allow an easy assembly of temporary supporting
systems or furniture, without any sort of conflict with the main “core”
activities of the centre such as administration, personnel or even the use of
the gym for a continuous training for the players.
The outdoor courts are accessed from the south façade, where an
outdoor terrace opens from the café lounge/training area.
