Situation

The Papro­cany lake is very important place for inha­bi­tants, mainly for recrea­tional reasons. The wharf which was put into use a few years ago, connects rest center with a part used by many sailing clubs and canoe section MOSM (Muni­cipal Youth Sports Center).

Due to bad condi­tion of these buil­ding, the city decided to build new sailing marina and object for MOSM: Cano­eing centre Tychy.

Building

The first part of Cano­eing centre Tychy which was realized is buil­ding for canoes. Canoe section has achieved great successes. Karo­lina Naja, who is double olympic meda­list, was member of this section.

As the authors of proma­nade, we cared about to extend a wharf to planned sailing marina. In conse­quence od this assump­tion, new cano­eing trai­ning center became part of it.

Promenade

The main path of the prome­nade is located right next to the water and the walls of object have been with­drawn and hidden behind raised wooden seats, which are used as tribune during cano­eing compe­ti­tions.

The back wall obtained a diffe­rent shape: due to fire requi­re­ments, is covered with grey fiber-cement boards.

Building

The Cano­eing centre Tychy is divided into two func­tional parts — trai­ning and storage. They were sepa­rated and covered with a common roof covered by plants. On the other sides buil­ding was surrounded by green slopes. There is a great view of the lake from the roof, so we decided to take an addi­tional path there.

Conclusion

These solu­tions caused a space in front of buil­ding with tribune, covered part and whole roof  became attrac­tive public space and next part of wharf important to people.

Thanks to Cano­eing centre Tychy, Canoe section gained new audi­ence, fans and poten­tial pupils and its work is beca­ming visible and trans­pa­rent.

We did this.

Jaworznickie Planty

Looking at the sky

Jaworznickie Planty in Jaworzno

RS+ Robert Skitek

Situation

The project included desig­ning a water play­ground with public gree­ne­ries land at the former coal mine terrains of Jawrzno, a city in the south of Poland with almost 100,000 inha­bi­tants.

Design

The design by RS + Robert Skitek sets up a group of rounded plazas merging with gree­nery and connected with streams flowing down to the central part.

Water and lights

The water play­ground is situated in the focal point, surrended by green hills. It is recessed regard to the sorroun­ding alleys level.

In the evening, the play­ground, like the entire complex, is illu­mi­nated. This consider­ably increases the number of visi­tors and makes Jaworz­ni­ckie Planty a meeting place for ever­yone who likes to be outside in summer.

What do you think?

Shelter

For the children, who play here or mostly rather romp, this results in a protected area, which is shielded from the other areas of the park and hardly percep­tible for passing walkers.

Footbath

Play­ground is a entwined with shallow stream, acting as foot­bath pool. Floors pattern refers to spril­ling water and makes a back­ground for colorful water toys.

Technology and toilets

A tech­nical buil­ding with toilets is hidden inside one of the green hills along­side the main alley. Of course, this also is a bles­sing in the vici­nity of child­ren’s play­grounds.

Recreational areas

Around the water play­ground there are benches and seats for parents. That helps them taking care for their playing children. Unusual shapes of curved benches create a green and quiet places, perfect for a resting, meeting with friends and looking at the sky laying on the hanging nets.

We did this.
