Compact hall building in timber element construction with cantilevered canopy roof

Project

The Kaltensporthalle was designed as a functional and economical hall construction using timber elements. Only the parts in contact with the ground were made of reinforced concrete. The compact building comprises a three-court sports hall with spectator area, a three-storey functional area and a multi-purpose wing with foyer. The main entrance is defined by the recessed south-west façade. The cantilevered roof protects against the weather and direct sunlight. The transparent design of the first floor and the 36 skylights ensure a glare-free, light-flooded, open building.

The slender timber supporting structure with 36 skylights in the interior ensures glare-free daylight illumination

Timber structure
The supporting structure of the three-span sports hall responds to the different spans and requirements.In the hall area, a maximum span of 30.0 m had to be spanned without supports, which was realized with glulam saddle roof trusses at a distance of 1.0 meter. The saddle roof truss also cantilevers by approx. 4 m. With a width of b = 16 cm, the trusses are very slender, the height varies from 139 cm at the low point to 180 cm at the high point. The multi-storey ancillary use area could be realized as a cross laminated timber panel due to the smaller spans of up to 8 m in the roof area. The exterior walls are designed as timber frame walls with timber ribs and structural single-sided cladding. In the interior, the timber structure remains visible and, in combination with 36 skylights, contributes to glare-free, uniform daylight illumination.
