Description:
This executive Project is based on the realization of a municipal sports center consisting of a covered pool (Consell Català de l’Esport – PCO 2) and more several rooms for Gym and Fitness or groupal activities. The main characteristic of the project is its implementation connecting the existing sports pavilion with the new volume, giving a solution for the management of the entire sports area in Sant Joan de Vilatorrada.
Tipology:
Sport facility
Promoter:
Ajuntament de Sant Joan de Vilatorrada
Situation:
Sant Joan de Vilatorrada
Year:
2007
Area:
3.700 m2
Description:
The site where the future Project will be located is in the area of the Municipal Sports zone of Sant Joan de Vilatorra (northern municipality) that will set a great sports block. The intervention area is characterized by being situated between an existing sports center and tennis courts zone which delimitate the plot.
Description:
The Project was set in three levels; the first one is situated to the groundlevel from the entrance minimizing the earthworks project; on the second level we find the entrance to the sports center, the interior access to the existing sports hall and all the basic program stuff concerning the PCO-02 rules. On the third level we find the bar with terrace with independent entrance-exit from the street and a series of terraces which will allow the user to not only see into the pool but enjoy the views to the open area that is bordering the sports center of Sant Joan de Vilatorrada and the Cardener river.
Description:
One of the premises of the Project was to organize the program around the pools taking into account the connection to the existing sports center. With this fact we wanted to reinforce the unified character of the piece understanding the two buildings, existing and new, as one unique building.
Description:
One of the main focus of the project was to control its economy with rational construction details with proved durability. Within this premise, the windows of the project were made using prefabricated skylight that were redesigned in order to work vertically. For the finishing materials of the project; we wanted to single out the pool area by applying a continuous sheet of copper plates on the façade and roof. This material will transform over time acquiring a blue-green tonality like water colour.
Description:
The project pays particular attention to providing a modern and attractive exterior image with bright interiors with rich and open spaces with views to the green area bordering the sports zone and Cardener River which invite to enjoy and relax with sport.
