WOODRIBS

Main source of inspiration for the design is unique location of the object in the waterfront of a large pond surrounded by pine forests. Surrounding landscape is formed by a combination of recreational spaces (Golf courses, sports grounds, walking paths), carefully preserved fragments of coniferous forest and freely scattered low-rise residential buildings, remote from each other. Complex is designed taking into account all technological requirements, retaining all existing trees on the site.

Large complex designed for year-round use, training and horse riding. Architectural and planning solutions are subject to completely different functions: a stable for twenty horses, an indoor arena with a field for classes and stands, cafes and open spaces, utility rooms and round arena. At the same time - all green spaces on a site are completely kept and not subject to cutting down. The architectural image is based on the application of modern "green" technologies friendly to man and nature.

High and elongated body of the main arena does not seem bulky, due to the large area of glazing of the outer walls. South side is covered with a "wave" of vertical wooden edges of sun protection. In combination with wooden frame structures, it seems that building dissolves in the natural environment. From side of open fields-spatial composition is built on contrast of low volume of stables and transparent arena with a soaring roof, connected by an intricate canopy-sculpture of main entrance.
