New Hungarian arena boasts never-before-seen architecture – PHOTOS

Kanizsa Arena, one of the latest sports arenas in Hungary was designed and built keeping in mind two important factors of modern architecture. The constructors wanted to build it as eco-friendly and sustainable as possible, while also making the buildings disabled-friendly for both athletes and spectators.

Magyarépítők reports that the building was finished about 2 weeks ago in the middle of December. They highlighted that the technology used to make the building’s construction more eco-friendly and solid, has never been used in Hungary before. This technology made several features of the building feasible to create.

The designer studio that worked on the sports hall is Pauliny & Partners, who designed several architectural masterpieces in Hungary, such as Budapest’s latest malls, the Etele Plaza, the Bicske Healthcare Centre and the Budapest ONE Business Park among many others. They also designed buildings for other countries, such as Finland, Greece and Romania among others.

The architectural studio claims that they are “one of the most prestigious groups of engineering companies with important history in Hungary and it is considered to be one of the market leaders”.

Kanizsa Arena was built as part of the Modern Városok (Modern Cities) development program. Magyarépítők wrote that it is not only a sports hall, but it can also be used for other purposes, such as organising concerts and other cultural events.

It has 3,000 seats on the spectator stands and it can be extended to have an additional 2,000 seats. This means that the multifunctional sports and events hall can house a total of 5,000 people if necessary.
