TJ Sokol Krizanovice Football Club

The new sport club amphitheatre, dressing rooms and sanitary facilities serving at the same time as a new social centre for the community.

The object functions as a football club facility and at the same time as a new community centre of the village where cultural and social events can be organized. The object is conceived as a simple spatial play of three elementary volumes – two ground prisms and a roof whose mutual shifting creates dynamic relations and interesting spaces. Prisms include locker rooms for players and referees, a buffet, a clubroom, and complete technical facilities of the area. On top of the bigger red prism, there is an auditorium for 120 spectators covered with a light steel construction and trapezoidal polycarbonate.

Krizanovice is a community of about 700 people, half way between Slavkov u Brna and Bucovice. The Sokol Krizanovice Sport Club amphitheatre, dressing rooms and sanitary facilities structure is situated in the northeast of the community, in the close vicinity of the Litava stream.
The task was to design a structure serving the local football club and at the same time becoming a new social centre for the community to host various sports, culture and club events in addition to football matches. The mission was more than completed – the local people are proud of their new community centre, as innumerable events have demonstrated over the less than six months of operation (including the fact that companies and the neighbouring communities hire the house for their events).
The structure is designed as a simple dimensional play of three volumes – two ground floor prisms and the roof – that create new relations and spaces when mutually set off. The prisms, in the local football club colours, contain the players’ and referees’ dressing rooms, a snack bar, a clubroom and all the background amenities. An amphitheatre for about 120 spectators covered with light trapezoid polycarbonate is placed on the larger red prism.
The construction of the building is mixed – steel frames and brickwork.
