What immediately strikes the observer is that the building presents itself as a coherent gesture. There is no jumble of dressing rooms, offices and cafeteria stuck onto the hall itself, but one building with a playfully arched roof, a rough wooden facade and an obvious glass entrance right in the middle. Inside, one finds the building divided in two halves. One houses a smaller sports hall for physical education, on the first floor. The dressing rooms are located right under it. Out front at ground level, the fan shop for Feijenoord supporters had its home for years. In those days fans bought shirts with the names of Robin van Persie and Pierre van Hooijdonk.
In the centre of the building are the staircases and the spaces with technical installations. On the second floor we find a club cafeteria as well, with a view on the court of the big hall. The curved line in the roof of that section echo’s the main roof while breaking up the visual impression of the volume. On the other side the big and high hall accommodates the top teams. It has a cafeteria on the first floor behind a glass facade. The wall of the hall is closed preventing daylight to disturb the players.
The small pitch for football training that used to be in front of the hall is replaced by a parking lot, but at the time of the opening visitors could watch the Feijenoord top team training from the cafeteria and the terrace.
