The commune of Vernayaz decided to build a new sports hall dedicated to school sports and local clubs activities through an open architectural competition.
In spring 2015, the municipality of Vernayaz awarded the planning contract for the construction of the Centre de Sport du Trient to the first prize-winning project from the competition. The spatial program was subsequently supplemented with additional premises for FC Vernayaz. Construction work began two years later, in August 2017. The work was completed in spring 2020.
The proposal stands out for its appropriateness of placing the sports hall on the east side of the SBB railway line, in the sports area. The new building has a strong identity, creating a meeting place for athletes.
Pragmatism and sobriety were the guiding principles behind the architectural and construction choices. Unusual solutions were developed to meet the community's specific needs. At the same time, the elementary architecture emphasizes the various high-quality spaces.
