the sloping grass banks hide the ground floor while allowing direct access to the level above. the entrance below the ground leads to the dressing rooms and storage areas. the main floor, accessible from the surrounding terraces, houses the the canteen and multifunctional areas. the modern, minimalistic materials chosen contrast with the natural surrounding. the clean lines of the wood and glass allow the sports fields and vegetation to play an important role in the overall design.
