Ruit State Sports School

The new Ostfil­dern sports hall is an important buil­ding block in the compre­hen­sive reor­ga­niza­tion of the Ruit State Sports School in Ostfil­dern into the sports campus of the future. The hall replaces an outdated exis­ting faci­lity and comple­ments the two exis­ting sports and soccer halls in the north-west of the site.

The Ruit State Sports School has served as the central trai­ning faci­lity of the Würt­tem­berg State Sports Asso­cia­tion for more than 75 years. Inter­na­tional and national soccer teams as well as nume­rous athletes from a wide range of sports regu­larly use the sports faci­li­ties for trai­ning camps and courses.

The archi­tec­ture is by Birk Heil­meyer and Frenzel, the lighting by Regiolux.

Lighting design

The lighting design for the sports hall was created by specia­lists Regiolux. The aim was to imple­ment func­tion­a­lity, aesthe­tics and sustaina­bi­lity in equal measure and inte­grate them into the overall archi­tec­tural concept.

The ball-proof SDT-Match quick-moun­ting light strip is used for the pitch lighting. This solu­tion guaran­tees uniform, glare-free illu­mi­na­tion that meets the highest requi­re­ments for sports opera­tions – and is also easy to install and main­tain.

The turas lumi­n­aire provides plea­sant ambient lighting in the adja­cent areas. Its discreet design blends unob­tru­si­vely into the overall archi­tec­tural concept and under­lines the high-quality appearance of the entire hall. The inter­play of natural daylight, which pene­trates through large windows, and intel­li­gently posi­tioned arti­fi­cial lighting creates an extre­mely friendly atmo­sphere.

Sustaina­bi­lity

The Ostfil­dern sports hall stands for the respon­sible use of resources, and not just in terms of lighting design. The design is based on durable, flexible and resource-saving cons­truc­tions and the possi­bi­lity of dismant­ling and reusing compon­ents.

The mate­rial concept also takes sustaina­bi­lity into account: the choice of timber cons­truc­tion and the targeted use of natural mate­rials signi­fi­cantly reduce the carbon foot­print of the new buil­ding. The connec­tion to the exis­ting campus concept also enables an effi­cient tech­nical supply, which has opti­mized opera­tion and energy consump­tion.

Fits

The Ostfil­dern sports hall combines sporting func­tion, ecolo­gical respon­si­bi­lity and design quality. It stands for contem­po­rary sports archi­tec­ture that does not push itself to the fore, but blends harmo­niously into its natural surroun­dings.

With well thought-out lighting solu­tions, sustainable cons­truc­tion and sensi­tive inte­gra­tion into the forest edge, it creates a place that combines sport, encoun­ters and the expe­ri­ence of nature.
