The building tries to bring domestic atmospheres in architecture to a large-scale project by defining small and medium interstitial spaces between the outdoor park and the main training indoor area. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2023.

From the organiser
The town of Žatec announces an architectural competition for a new sports hall, which will be used mainly for ball games. The aim of the competition is to select the most suitable architectural solution designed with regard to the overall economy of the building. The new sports hall must be able to host competitive matches and training processes. Full use during school hours and in the evenings by both the public and local sports clubs is envisaged.
From author
We imagine the new Sports Hall of Žatec as a sustainable landmark settled inside a green park. The project is informed by old rural architecture by wrapping a complex sports program under one single pitched roof at this point of the city of Žatec. The building tries to bring domestic atmospheres in architecture to a large-scale project by defining small and medium interstitial spaces between the outdoor park and the main training indoor area. By this means, a unique and sensitive wooden roof underlines and confidently organizes the indoor spaces and programmes.
