The new water sports centre is located between the poles of the planned ice rink and the uniqueness of Obersee (Lake Zurich). It captures the poetry of the place and forms a harmonious, natural ensemble.
The boat sheds and the common area are designed as two opposite wedges reminiscent of ice floes thrusting against each other. The building is intended to come across as a dynamic sculpture that reflects the power and elegance of canoeing and rowing.

The distinctive facade of the sides unfurl like the movements of oars and paddles, giving the building its unmistakable appearance, together with the walls angled outwards. The wooden slats in front of the windows conceal the windows behind them, which make the building look like a compact structure.

Colours are intentionally used sparingly in the interior design concept, as they should not compete with the play of colours provided by nature. The surroundings dazzle in ever-changing colour combinations over the course of the day and the year, including the seasonal change in the colours of the trees, the play of colours bouncing off the lake and the flowing play of light in the sky.
