Diederendirrix has designed a new clubhouse for hockey club Oranje-Rood. The functional building is eye-catching because of its large canopy, of which the structure extends from the outside into the inside.

A new hockey club calls for a new clubhouse. Hockey club Oranje-Rood originated from a merger between the successful top-class sports club Oranje-Zwart – first division champions for the last three years – and recreational sports club EMHC. Its new pavilion was festively opened on 3 September.

High-quality view
The triangular building is fitted in on a wedge-shaped open area between the hockey fields. The pavilion is located on a plinth consisting of an overgrown slope on one side and a stand with 1600 seats on the other side. There are comfortable changing rooms and a physiotherapy room in the plinth, which meet the requirements of a top-class sport accommodation, according to diederendirrix. On the raised level the luxurious canteen is located. From the canteen and the terrace you can watch the matches on all of the club’s eight hockey fields. There is room for a business club on the pavilion’s level.
