The service building of the sports ground „Chöpfli“ is placed on the field between existing car park and forest and consists of two buildings, shifted to each other. This allows a reaction to the particularities of the situation.

Zagreb got its first professional football store in Point Centre in Vrbani, home to the broadest selection of equipment in Croatia. We strived to convey the “pumped-up” atmosphere and energy of professional football through the sales concept. In step with international trends, a pitch simulator is available in the store so that customers can test the equipment. They are able to measure the speed of the balls using a speed detector which is connected to a screen ranking the customers, showing who was the best. Another interactive element in the store is one which makes it possible for customers to design their own cleats and jerseys. Footballmania’s dressing room looks like a real-life athletic dressing room, equipped with benches and... More

Austria Wien is one of Austria’s oldest and most successful football clubs. To keep its license for the Austrian national league the club urgently needed a new training hall for the next generation of players. We had just six months to erect the building – and an extremely tight budget: a real sporting challenge for us!A proud statementWith a height of four metres the square sports hall, which we lowered into the ground, has a dominant flat roof with a roof parapet no less than two metres high that was originally intended to carry advertising for the sponsors. In the end the club decided that only its name and that of the building should appear on this surface. After all, they certainly are something to be proud of. From the far end of the... More
