Zamet Centre

Zamet Centre hosts various facilities: a sports hall with 2380 seats, local community offices, a library, retail spaces and a garage. The building's main architectural element are ribbon-like, linear stripes stretching over the site, functioning at the same time as an architectural design element of the object and as a zoning element which forms a public square. The stripes were inspired by 'gromaca', a type of rock specific to Rijeka, which the centre artificially reinterprets by colour and shape. The stripes are paved with 51.000 ceramic tiles. The steel construction and the girder span of 55 metres allow the natural illumination of the sports hall. It contains supporting facilities for professional training and competition, while the auditorium with telescopic stands enables the transformation from everyday use to other activities (concerts, conferences, etc).
