Mölnlycke Fabriker Idrottshall

Prerequisites

The project includes a new construction, renovation and extension of the factory area with the aim of creating a rich environment for the local area and a sports cluster for the municipality.

Enabling conditions for good social sustainability has been an important part of the project and the development of Mölnlycke Fabriker as a whole. Here, a clear identity with historical roots is being formed, which creates a sense of attractiveness, participation and belonging. Here, everyday life will flow and a new pedestrian and bicycle path will be built, including a bus stop adjacent to the arena. The space between the Garage and the existing brick building is activated through a variety of environments that encourage both physical activity and breaks.

Green roofs

The roofs will be covered with parking spaces and green sedum roofs and the exterior will be clad in solar panels of different colors. To create an inspiring activity environment for health and movement, the interior has also been equally important. The interior and color concept runs in a harmonious, soft scale and weaves color in a balanced way as an identity-creating element in both halls.

In close dialogue with the active practitioners

During the work, it was important to capture the various youth activities’ own thoughts on design and concept. Through conversations, workshops and dialogues, several exciting ideas have emerged, which are now being realized. Pixbo gymnastics club’s own club colors in dark violet and cerise, for example, guided and inspired the color scheme of the gymnastics hall’s eye-catching and toned background wall.
