Project description

The main target of converting a sports hall at the exhibition grounds, sometimes called the TipSport arena or T-Mobile arena, is to preserve the extraordinary value of the building. These include, in particular, the construction of the main roof with a unique shell structure with interior cassette. Next, a reinforcing x-shaped bridge and entrance foyers. This design preserves most of these valuable elements and adds additional functions with new zones or build objects that are designed to save the structure and its qualities. The hotel, wellness, fitness, commerce, social sports, swimming pool and the sea world will surely fulfill this task. Because the design is designed to excel in the quality of the existing unique designs, the completion was designed very sophisticated and complete. The building is divided into 2 hotel wings with commerce on the ground floor and surrounds the center through of the object.
