scandinavian practice C.F. møller architects has collaborated with swedish firm berg arkitektkontor to propose ‘skipark 360°’,
an indoor skiing facility in stockholm, sweden. positioned within the swedish countryside, this elevated, enclosed downhill
ski slope and tunnel is supported with a series of descending pillars. the open air form maintains unobstructed views of the
surrounding landscape and allows wildlife to pass between the dominant column line. capable of hosting the world cup,
the 70,000 square meter facility will serve as an amateur and elite training location for cross country skiing, ice hockey,
snowboarding and figure skating along with a biathlon arena. ground level restaurants, shops, conference centers and a hotel
will accommodate visitors with access to the surrounding forest and lakes.

exterior of structure

the pinnacle of the downhill run reaches a height of 135 meters making this one of sweden’s largest structures.
the tapering form attempts to reduce its visual impact with a blanched concrete panel facade while an outdoor terrace
at the highest point of the inclined roof offers panoramic vistas. geothermal heating, solar power, wind and hydropower
sources will generate energy to create a self supporting center.
