Circular Sports Buildings

The construction of circular sports facilities addresses the challenge of insufficient space for physical education in many Swiss schools. Pool Architekten developed a reusable sports hall, offering a flexible, temporary solution focused on energy efficiency, material sustainability, and functionality.

Modules and elements
Built from modular timber and prefabricated elements, the hall is designed for relocation and reuse across various sites. The walls are composed of floor-to-ceiling timber panels, while wooden beams resting on the double supports span the structure, supporting the modular ceiling elements.
