The spatial shape of the sports hall is intended as a placemark – expressive, easy to see, inviting, accessible. The proposed building solution is modern, bright and expressive, which fits into the overall urban environment and creates an interesting building facade solution. When deciding the location of the building, the main entrance to the building was located from Erglu street The adjacent areas of the new Sports Hall are planned to be landscaped with driveways, pedestrian paths, car parks and green areas. Solutions for environmental accessibility were included in the project.

The voluminous spatial form of the building as a sports center will be achieved with spatial truss structure constructions. Spatial truss structures are designed with a combination of double-glazed units with double-glazed windows with a white coating of a lamination layer. When evaluating the large glazing areas, it is planned to use 3-glass units to improve the energy efficiency of the building. The combination of double-glazed units is a compromise between the maximum possible energy efficiency (solar heat-reflecting, indoor thermal energy reflective), transparency (clarified glass applied as much as possible) and close visual appearance.

The function of the sports hall is located on six floors, basement and 5 above-ground floors. In the basement of the building, it is planned to place technical rooms and utility rooms with a shower, on the first floor of the building it was planned to create a gym with auxiliary rooms, toilets and training rooms, on the second floor of the building it was planned to create a heavy athletics hall with auxiliary rooms, service hotel rooms with toilets and administrative rooms, above it was planned to create an unusable green roof over the cover of the second floor of the building and above the service hotel, on the third floor of the building it was planned to create service hotel rooms with toilets, administrative rooms and recreation areas for spectators, while ventilation and air cooling equipment were planned to be placed in the outdoor space of the third floor of the building.
