New Soccer clubhouse in Capelle aan den IJssel, The Netherlands by MoederscheimMoonen ArchitectsNovember 24th, 2012 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: MoederscheimMoonen Architects Recently the new clubhouse of the amateur soccer club VV Capelle designed by MoederscheimMoonen Architects finally opened its doors. The newly build structure, consisting of two volumes, houses the changing rooms and the canteen that functions as a meet-and-greet area for soccer players and visitors. In combination with the newly developed soccer fields, the project is a part of the overall modernization of the Sportpark ´T Slot in the Dutch city of Capelle aan den IJssel. MoederscheimMoonen Architects were not only in charge of the building and site design, but also managed the overall building process.  Image Courtesy Luuk Kramer

Being a sturdy black pavilion from the back, it opens itself towards the pitch displaying an open and transparent character. The cut-outs in the dark volume are emphasized by green tints representing the clubs color while also relating to the pitch.

Due to the separation of the distinct functions into two volumes the project lends itself for future expansions without destroying the qualities of the concept, making it a sustainable project in terms of durability.  Image Courtesy Luuk Kramer The fact that most parts of the existing structures including the canteen and the changing rooms needed to remain in use until the day of completion of the new building, made the project management a challenge and asked for detailed attention.
