Sustainable community pavilion that blends sports-driven design with energy efficiency and lasting performance
High-performance thermal envelope and ventilation
The building is wrapped in insulation, including beneath the slab and over the single-ply roof, creating an unbroken thermal envelope. Paired with mechanical ventilation and heat recovery, it stays comfortable and efficient all year.
Low-energy heat sources
An air source heat pump powers both showers and underfloor heating, using a third of the energy of traditional systems. Responsive heating adapts well to fluctuating use – ideal for sports facilities.
Solar-responsive architecture
The inverted roof maximises sunlight, designed for hot water solar panels. South-facing glazed doors bring in light and warmth, while a canopy over the deck prevents summer overheating, balancing comfort year-round.

Located in a public park, it serves stoolball and cricket teams while making a bold architectural statement. The roof echoes the arc of a bouncing cricket ball – a subtle nod to its use – designed for solar panels.
Designed in close collaboration with stakeholders, the building balances function and flair, delivering strong environmental performance and long-term community value.
