Siauliai Arena

About object:

The Arena is built in the middle of Siauliai City, in Jablonskis Street. At a first glance to the building, its massiveness is stunning: five floors, the diameter of 100 meters, the rounded shape of about 19 meters in height. The latter is highlighted by a glass façade: on the ground floor, it is clear, on others – holographic. The shades of façade change depending on the time of a day: the warm shades further increase the object, the cold ones make it smaller, the lighter shades sharpen its form, the darker ones – level it, and, when the sun is shining, the same building alludes a bright, playful rainbow.

The multifunctional complex is fitted for various massive sports events and artistic performances: theatre, educational activity, exhibitions, fairs, concerts. The object contains a conference hall with places for about 200 people. It accommodates sports schools, clubs, health and beauty centres, fitness halls, children’s playroom, sports museum, cafés and bars. It was sought to minimize the use of colours for the interior in order the interior would be a contrast.

Due to its neat form and technically sophisticated façade, Siauliai Arena was appreciated perfectly both by visitors and professionals: in 2007, it won an award of the Ministry of the Environment for the best architectural object.
