Upgrading a community sports complex immersed in its rural surroundings.

Synopsis

Any sports facility requires careful thought and consideration in the design and specification. We invest time to make the right selection of finishes and details. A new, sprung sports floor, capable of covering an array of activities, was paramount and essential to the success of the building. These decisions were of utmost importance to ensure value for money while keeping future running costs to a minimum.

The most elegant solution involved the creation of a single storey wraparound extension to join all the individual components (changing facilities, meeting rooms, kitchen, toilets, entrance foyers, internal and external stores etc.) coherently.  This link softens the impact of the most significant volume, the enlarged sports hall. It establishes a building of more relatable form and massing.
