Venetian Sporthouse

Marilyn Brühlmann

The concept of this project is to build a Sports house, dedicated to a club. The project takes inspiration from the ex-paramilitary swiss sport, Pontonnierport, which is now practiced by 41 clubs in Switzerland. The project is aimed to develop a house for some young athletes that could live there and also train as often as they want. The last floor would be devoted to the director of the club or the owner of the house (someone also fascinated by sports) and their family. 

The perimeter and the shape of the existing building have been kept with the exception of the floor on the right side of the building. The ground floor is entirely dedicated to the swimming pool. The club can have full access to the two floors. The passage stays public. The first floor is reduced because of the pool area and stays related to it by its big windows. The fitness will take place in the corner area. It would be possible to extend the building by putting stairs in the library and then make an Attica.
