Centro Comunitario El Tirrá

Overview

Centro Comunitario El Tirrá sits in the center of Tirrases and organizes two courts, one multipurpose and one for soccer, linked by a concrete volume that houses the weight gym and locker rooms. A second, transverse volume holds the offices. Both are connected by a pedestrian passage that distributes circulation and gives continuity to the complex.

The gym is the central space of the project. It is open, with abundant side daylight and a sawtooth roof that captures north light. A screen for public film nights and bleachers for 200 people open the space to the community. The soccer field renews the existing one and turns the existing embankment into bleachers, with two urban planters of Guachipelín timber. At the center of those bleachers, at sidewalk level, a cantilever works as an urban viewing box, with lighting that extends use into the night.

The project is committed to a plurality of uses, economy of materials and daylight. In this way it creates a meeting place for Tirrases.
