Fiskartorpet Sports - An adaptive reuse project – Transforming an existing building into a hub for outdoor sports

The transformation of Fiskartorpet into an Outdoor Sports Hub is a project aimed at revitalizing the area, promoting active lifestyles, and engaging the community. The existing building, with its rich history and architectural character, is being optimized to cater to the needs of outdoor sports enthusiasts. The tower is being renovated to accommodate jumping platforms on each floor, while a diving pool is added adjacent to it, creating a seamless integration between water-based sports and jumping disciplines. The existing ski jump is transformed into a multi-purpose slope, allowing for up-hill running during summer months. Inside the building, amenities such as a mountain bike rental and repair shop, reception area, offices, changing rooms, and workout rooms are incorporated to enhance the visitor experience. The project takes an approach that respects the building's heritage while introducing elements that symbolize its evolution. By restoring architectural details and façade components and selecting materials that harmonize with the existing structure, a balance is struck between nostalgia and the needs of the modern era. Glazed tiles in dark green, blue, and burgundy are strategically used for their durability and water-resistant properties, adding both functionality and visual cohesion to the design. Overall, the project aims to create a vibrant and functional space that promotes physical activity, community engagement, and easy accessibility to outdoor sports in the heart of Stockholm. It represents an opportunity to revitalize the area, foster social interaction, and contribute to community revitalization through the transformation of a private building into a public space for outdoor enthusiasts.
