Comoco Architects wins 2nd Edition of the national prize of architecture in Wood
The draft N10-II, sports and multipurpose space situated in Coimbra and that has the wood as raw material of choice, is the winning project of the second edition of the national prize of architecture in wood.Sports and multipurpose space, implemented in an old industrial Hall, covers three areas: reception, changing rooms and party zone. A porticoed structure built with American pine elements defines the basic structure of space, whose filling or frosting as on the walls, is done with the use of MDF boards.The application of MDF boards has been thought for a result of excellence in structural terms as in the definition of construction. The option for MDF with natural finish allows a harmonious aesthetic result with other options of materialization, as the use of white tiles, in the locker room, and with the design of the pieces of furniture in pine and MDF boards lacquered in black.Thus, the architects Luis Miguel Correia, Nelson Motta and Susana Constantine, of the atelier Comoco, received a monetary prize, awarded by the Gold Sponsor-Sonae Indústria â€" and a unique work by Siza Vieira, while the developer received a commemorative wooden plaque.Among the range of works finalists the jury distinguished two citations attributed to the Swing Project, authored by.
