This building is a very good example of trends in European architecture today. The use of glass lends the interior spaces of the building a soft light, creating an intimate atmosphere. At the same time the stone material used, including the roof, recalls the times of a new brutalism. This is a subtle building that could become an icon in its relationship with the surrounding neighbourhood. The proportions of the different parts of this work of art are one of its most important features. The jury welcomed the fact that it was possible to erect such an exciting sports building with a relatively modest investment.
