WISPAL, Liebenau

The Wintersportarena Liebenau has built a new infrastructure building at the foot of the Pfarrerberg, which became operational at the start of the 2022/23 winter season. Covering a gross floor area of 650 m², the architect-designed facility offers modern amenities, including a ski rental, a ski school, and changing rooms with showers and toilets for athletes and campers.

The upper floor features a spacious dining area for 70 guests, offering panoramic views of the slopes and cross-country ski trails. Due to its hillside location, the building was constructed using a hybrid method: reinforced concrete for the ground floor and parts of the upper floor, while the entire structure is enveloped in a wooden roof and façade.

The building’s distinctive geometry creates a dynamic appearance, further enhanced by the wooden shingles that fully cover the exterior, gradually aging and changing color with the seasons. A key innovation lies in the structural design, which spans the entire dining area without the need for supporting columns, ensuring an open and unobstructed space.
