State-of-the-art training complex for Rotterdam football club Feyenoord

Recently, the new training complex '1908' for football club Feyenoord has been completed in thecity of Rotterdam. Designed by MoederscheimMoonen Architects, the brand new multifunctional complex is fully equipped to provide the first team of Feyenoord with a professional sporting environment on a day to day basis. The same architects also designed the new sporting environment for the Feyenoord Academy and recreational teams of the club, which is currently under construction.

The training complex has been designed exclusively for the first team of Feyenoord, the accompanying staff and the technical board. The building contains all kinds of facilities which a current professional football club requires. A large area of the building has been dedicated to the sports medical facility and a performance research department for the first team players. This area is supported by several offices, an auditorium, restaurant, relaxation rooms, various wellness facilities and of course the dressing facilities for the players and staff.

Daily routine as the primary design principal

Architect Erik Moederscheim: "Prior to the design process, we carried out intensive research by visiting the facilities of various international professional clubs together with Feyenoord. From there, we developed a program which responds to the constraints of the site as well as meeting Feyenoord’s spatial requirements.” Based on the visits and discussions, the architectural office took the chronology of the activities and the player’s daily routine as the most important criteria to arrive at an intuitive floor plan. The result is that the facilities are located in a logical place in the building, with the first team dressing room the heart of the building. From here, the players are close to the wellness, sports medical facilities, the players' lounge, the corridor towards the outdoor fields, and the central staircase leading to the restaurant above.

Concentration and focus

The interior is designed in such a way to create an environment that stimulates concentration and focus. For example, a lot of light colours and naturalmaterials have been used. “The players and staff of Feyenoord spend a lot of time there and carry a great responsibility for the club, so it is important that they feel at home and can work daily on improving their performance in a professional sporting environment." says the architect. As a result, spaces including the dressing rooms and wellness are situated at the rear, where they have complete privacy, and the offices and sports medical facilities at the front, where there is a lot of contact with the fields.

Privacy and transparency

The balance between privacy and transparency forms the basis of the clear design language of the architectural design. The glass facade gives the complexa contemporary aesthetic, and makes it possible for many of the spaces to have a direct view of the fields. At the same time, the rear facade is designed as a shield of corten steel that continues onto the roof overhang. This shield provides privacy from the public road and is the defining element in the design. The corten steel is made in different degrees of perforation which creates, together with the windows, a dynamic pattern.

A professional sporting environment

MoederscheimMoonen Architects was not only responsible for the building design. The entire environment around the building was designed by the office; containing the large entrance gate and the porter's lodge but also the landscape. The building is surrounded by a square with benches that are surrounded by vibrant flower beds. Naturally, the football pitches are of very high quality. Various surfaces have been created with warm-up zone and goalkeeper zones. These are all equipped with the latest registration techniques, which enable optimal following and monitoring of the players.

로테르담 축구 클럽 페예노르트의 최첨단 훈련 단지

최근 로테르담 시에서 축구 클럽 페예노르트를 위한 새로운 훈련 단지 '1908'이 완공되었다. 건축가 MoederscheimMoonen이 설계한 새로운 다기능적인 복합건물은 페예노르드 최초의 팀에게 매일 전문적인 스포츠 환경을 제공할 수 있도록 완벽하게 갖추어져 있다.

기본 설계 주체로서의 일상

건축가 Erik Moederscheim : "설계 과정에 앞서 페예노르트와 함께 다양한 국제 프로클럽의 시설을 방문하여 집중적인 조사를 했다. 거기서 페예노르트의 공간적 요건을 충족시킬 뿐만 아니라 현장의 제약에 대응하는 프로그램을 개발했다." 방문과 토론을 바탕으로 건축사무소는 활동 순서와 선수들의 일상을 평면의 가장 중요한 기준으로 삼았다. 그 결과, 각 시설은 건물 내 적절한 장소에 위치해 있으며, 탈의실은 건물의 중심에 있다. 탈의실로부터 선수들은 운동실, 스포츠 의료 시설, 선수 휴게실, 야외 운동장으로 향하는 복도, 그리고 위쪽 식당으로 통하는 중앙 계단에 쉽게 접근할 수 있다.

집중과 집중

내부는 아주 밝은 색상과 천연 재료가 사용하는 등 집중력을 높이는 환경을 조성할 수 있도록 설계했다. "페예노르트의 선수들과 스탭들은 그곳에서 많은 시간을 보내며 큰 책임을 지고 있다. 따라서 그들이 집 처럼 느끼는 것이 중요하며, 선수들의 경기력을 향상시키기 위해 매일 일할 수 있다."고 건축가는 말한다. 그 결과 탈의실과 운동실 등의 공간은 뒤쪽에 위치하여 완전한 프라이버시를 확보하고 있으며, 앞쪽에는 사무실과 스포츠 의료시설이 있어 경기장으로의 동선이 쉽다.

사생활과 투명성

프라이버시와 투명성 사이의 균형은 건축 설계의 명확한 기본을 형성한다. 유리 면은 현대적 미학을 제공하며, 많은 공간들이 경기장을 직접 볼 수 있게 해준다. 동시에, 후면은 지붕 돌출부 위로 계속 이어지는 내후성 강판으로 마감했다. 이 마감은 공공 도로로부터의 프라이버시를 제공하며 설계의 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 강판은 다른 크기의 구멍으로 창문과 함께 역동적인 패턴을 만들고 있다.

전문적인 스포츠 환경

건축가 MoederscheimMoonen은 건물 주변의 모든 환경을 큰 출입문과 근무자들의 숙소를 포함한 사무실에 의해 랜드스케이프적인 디자인을 했다. 생기있는 화단과 벤치도 있으며, 워밍업 존과 골키퍼 존으로 다양한 표면이 만들어졌다. 이 건물은 선수에 대한 최적의 모니터링이 가능한 최신 기술을 모두 갖추고 있다.
