An extension connecting the club.

The extension retains the open entrance square and turns it into an amphitheatre. A bridge links the fronton to the new rhythmic gymnastics hall, set three metres below ground to adjust its scale to the complex. Artistic gymnastics occupies the level above; the spa and Pilates rooms sit beside a light court connected to the existing pool. The structure combines a concrete base with an upper metal volume screened by white expanded mesh.
