The size of the building is defined by the basketball playground and modified by additional facilities in the gallery - a fitness centre and a sauna. The low and small locker rooms act as a connection element to the school. This connection to the old school with the utility rooms is hidden underground.

The private and intimate character of the building is juxtaposed with its primary function as a public building, and its openness by glass fronts to the street.

The sports hall concept had to meet the design and construction time schedule of 11 months, which was possible only by using RC prefabricated elements. All the load-bearing and facade elements of the sports hall are made from prefabricated elements. Its integration into the environment is achieved by minimizing its size, blending in with the landscape, and by using local stone materials for facade surfacing.
