MOSM Canoe Training Center, finalist Sports Building of the Year
Paprocany lake in Tychy, Poland has been the place to be for sailing, water sports and recreation for a long time. Unfortunately, the sports infrastructure was aging and in need of redevelopment. The city decided to build a new sailing marina for the Municipal Youth Sports Center MOSM. The canoe section, once home to double Olympic medallist Karolina Naja, spearheaded the renovation.
The new canoe training centre (2020) by architects RS + Robert Skitek, is nestled behind the promenade along the lake, partly hidden behind wooden seats that double as grandstand during canoeing competitions. The back wall has a modern look thanks to stylish grey EQUITONE [linea] and EQUITONE [pictura] fibre-cement facade panels. The building on the water’s edge serves as a launch site, training centre and storage facility for the canoe club, but the seating area has also has become a popular public space on the lake for spectators and visitors to enjoy its beauty. The building is one of the finalists in the category ‘sports architecture’ of the ArchDaily’s Building of the Year 2021 awards.
