MoederscheimMoonen Architects' Modern Clubhouse Design for VV Capelle

New Clubhouse for VV Capelle Designed by MoederscheimMoonen Architects

MoederscheimMoonen Architects has recently completed the new clubhouse for VV Capelle, an amateur soccer club in the Dutch city of Capelle aan den IJssel. The new building, designed by the architectural studio, consists of two volumes that house the changing rooms and canteen. The clubhouse is a part of the Sportpark 'T Slot modernization project, which includes newly developed soccer fields.

The Center of Attention - The Canteen

The canteen is the centerpiece of the new clubhouse design. The building is a sturdy black pavilion that opens towards the soccer pitch, creating an open and transparent character. The cut-outs in the dark volume are emphasized by green tints that represent the club's color and relate to the pitch. The canteen serves as a meet-and-greet area for soccer players and visitors and is designed to accommodate future expansions without destroying the qualities of the concept.

The Robust Backbone - The Changing Rooms

The second lower volume made of brick is the robust backbone of the project, housing the players' changing rooms. The separation of the distinct functions into two volumes makes the project sustainable in terms of durability, allowing for future expansions without compromising the qualities of the design concept. 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 required detailed attention.

The Overall Building Process

MoederscheimMoonen Architects was not only in charge of the building and site design but also managed the overall building process. The design of the new clubhouse, along with the newly developed soccer fields, is a part of the modernization of the Sportpark 'T Slot, creating a sustainable and functional space for the amateur soccer club VV Capelle. The new clubhouse is a testament to MoederscheimMoonen Architects' dedication to sustainable design and attention to detail in managing complex building projects.

In conclusion, the new clubhouse for VV Capelle is a modern and functional space that serves the needs of the amateur soccer club while accommodating future expansions. The canteen and changing rooms, designed by MoederscheimMoonen Architects, display a commitment to sustainable design and attention to detail in managing complex building projects. The new clubhouse is a testament to the architectural studio's dedication to creating functional spaces that are both sustainable and aesthetically pleasing.
