SC Lyra-Lierse, Lier (B).
Sports park, stadium and clubhouse in the Pallieterstad.
The design of the Lier Sports Park is about creating a home for K. Lyra Lierse and the sporty youth/residents of the Pallieterstad. The park creates valuable space for the residents of Lier and their youth to be able to exercise in their own city. The design is conceived as a green-lined room, located between the Netekanaal and the center of Lier and is a place for sports, recreation and recreational shared use.
A stadium and a new clubhouse for the K. Lyra Lierse football club are also being designed in the park. The stadium is embedded in the sports park as a coherent and readable whole. It gets its expression by combining a number of simple architectural building blocks. The orientation of the main building responds to the functions and use of the surrounding sports park. The longest facades face both the training grounds and the competition field. This orientation increases the relationship between these two program parts and encourages dual use of the building.
The various program parts are housed in the main building. The ground floor is a robust, functional plinth that offers space for changing rooms, supporting rooms and serving functions. The first floor is a retracted volume under a large awning, and forms canteen spaces to accommodate the meeting of users of the sports park and the stadium.
The sober use of materials provides a clear and uniform image: a building that does not need exuberance to be powerful, but is nevertheless generous. The combination of robust concrete blocks/concrete elements with warm wooden (building) elements is the home base for a warm family club with a cool following.
