One third of the sports hall’s volume is cut in the ground, and the rest of the Centre is fully fitted into the
surrounding landscape. The building’s main architectural element are ribbon-like linear stripes
stretching over the site in a north-south direction, functioning at the same time as an architectural
design element of the object and as a zoning element which forms a public square and a link between
the park on the north and school and B. Vidas street on the south. Save

The stripes were inspired by “gromača”, a type of rocks specific to Rijeka, which the centre artificially
reinterprets by colour and shape. They are paved with 51.000 ceramic tiles designed by 3LHD and
manufactured specially for the centre. The steel construction, girder span of 55 meters and their varying
height allow the natural light illumination of the sports hall.

The hall has been designed in accordance with the latest world sports standards for major international
sports competitions. The concept is based on flexibility of space. Playground size is 46 x 44 meters, for
two handball courts. The hall contains all the supporting facilities for professional training and
