FORM
The Water Sports Center includes two facilities: a canoe base and
a hangar for boats with a platform. The Canoeist Base building is
one-story and it seems to be a triangle. The flat roof has a slight
slope in the longitudinal direction. The varied height it contains
has a reflectional function. It is higher in the warehouse and
workshop part and lowers in the rest of it. Its characteristic form
has associations with movement and dynamics. The sloping walls
create distinctive arcades, highlighting the entrances and framing
the views. The visual sight of the building is changing depending
on where we look. The dynamic form of the object allows
access from a mini stand into the roof of the hangar, where the
observation deck is located.
FUNCTION
The base building is a place for training and meetings of the
local canoe club, as well as a place to organize competitions and
sporting events. The base building contains a training facility;
cloakrooms; a gym with panoramic water views; club room; sports
equipment warehouse and the public toilet. The water hangar
building has two platforms for water equipment, a roof stand and a
storage space for motorboats.
FINISH
The building from the outside is finished with a board of natural
Siberian larch. The horizontal arrangement of boards emphasizes
the dynamics of solid and the natural colors help it to enter the
surrounding landscapes. The roof of the canoeing base building
was made as an extensive, green roof. The interiors have been kept
in a strict, minimalistic style.
