Limited by urban planning parameters and external influences, the building is positioned in the central part of the plot, which allowed the external layout of the plot to be subordinated to the function of the building itself. By moving the parking lot to the underground level, an open ground floor space was obtained for additional facilities and various uses.

The idea of ​​designing the building stems from the elliptical shape, which implicitly indicates that it is a sports facility. The simple geometry of the building with a protruding plateau at the entrance on the first floor represents the starting point for designing the building itself. Such a shape aims not only at the aesthetics of the building but also at its functionality, with the intention of providing optimal conditions for sports activities within it.

The transparent facade of the building allows it to subtly blend into its surroundings. The use of a brisoleil around the building’s glass envelope brings dynamism to the structure and emphasizes the entrances to the sports hall. The double facade is not only an aesthetic element, but also a functional detail that provides optimal control of light and temperature within the building. The dynamic play of light and shadow further emphasizes the structure and volume of the building, with the intention of making it attractive to visitors.

bases and cross-sections of the object
Although the primary design is focused on sports events, the idea of the project is to go a step beyond the standard sports hall. By offering space and possibilities for concerts, exhibitions, business activities, and other events, the facility can transform into a modern multifunctional complex tailored to a wide range of activities and community needs. The hall is designed to accommodate 5,520 spectators, with two levels of stands, while the use of the parterre area can expand the capacity to 7,680 spectators.
This type of space, envisioned as a new landmark in Subotica, aspires to become the center of cultural, business, and entertainment activities in the city.
The shaded façade reduces the building’s cooling energy consumption during the summer and represents an efficient solution for its sustainability. To further increase the building’s energy efficiency, solar panels have been implemented as a renewable energy source. This approach reduces environmental pollution and optimizes energy consumption, providing a long-term sustainable solution for the building’s energy independence.
