A new multi-user sports facility at the listed school building, Søndermarkskolen, Frederiksberg Kommune, has been selected by Lokale og Anlægsfonden, DIF og Dansk Skoleidræt as one of five projects to be carried out. The project transforms a traditional ”gymnastiksal” into a shared social space and everyday lab connecting school, sports clubs and local community. The purpose is to daily facilitate more physical and mental health promoting activities amongst children, youth, adults and senior citizens.
Through co-creation between key stakeholders, users and the studio novel ideas combining architectural and organisational strategies have merged into this innovative common project to be further developed.
In the project as sketched new horizontal and vertical elements will open the building and connect its inside with outside and ground floor with top floor to facilitate new activities, a wider use and a more divers future user group. A new host-function will welcome and connect users, support collaboration between different users, inspire and initiate new activities.
