The scheme s most pronounced feature is a large translucent membrane that stretches between the sports and culture centre arena, and the four characteristic end walls of the neighboring public housing scheme. The building's structure is composed of steel and timber covered with opalescent polycarbonate panels with a low Uvalue.
The translucent cover offers excellent daylight conditions, and at night the structure appears as a glowing crystal. The building will be used for a variety of daily sport and cultural activities such as concerts and theatre performances. The dynamic landscape inside allows for various activities to take place on different levels in visual contact with each other.
