Ørestad Street Hall

The multi-purpose sports facility in Ørestaden is developed in collaboration with a dedicated group of potential users. During three workshops they discussed priorities of activities and functions.

Ørestad Street Hall stands out as the smallest public, fully accessible building in Ørestad City created on a space originally planned to be a small park. ​

The building is open 24/7 to the public, school classes and local sports clubs and is divided into heated and unheated areas. The unheated part is the biggest multifunctional space for activities such as basketball and floorball and the heated part is for dance, yoga, martial arts etc.

The building is unstaffed and all activities and events are arranged and held by the users themselves whether organized in groups or private initiatives.

As opposed to the surrounding buildings, the lowest point of the facility is facing Ørestad Boulevard, and in this way meeting and welcoming the people in the neighborhood on ground level. Furthermore, the building stands out due to its green roof and wooden materials. ​

The relation to the surrounding park emphasizes the inclusive and accessible character of the building, that has no back, but a long unbroken strip of windows making the activities inside visible from the park.
