At Urban Climate Architects, we are working on the design of Ringpass Delft's new sports complex. Together with Fokkema & Partners (interior), SMNL architects (exterior and overall design), Eric Luiten and BAS sport, a place is created where sport, nature and sustainability reinforce each other.

Our goal is clear: to create an inspiring and hospitable environment for athletes, visitors, children from the BSO and local residents — a place that brims with energy, connection and movement.

Designed from wood, light and space

The design exudes warmth and craftsmanship. Large wooden overhangs provide shelter in any type of weather and play smartly with sunlight: shade in summer, warmth in winter. The visible wooden construction and biobased materials provide a natural, sustainable look.

In harmony with nature

The clubhouse forms a whole with its surroundings. Surrounded by green areas, biodiverse plants and walking routes, indoor and outdoor areas blend seamlessly. The green roof, solar panels and natural ventilation enhance the ecological value and reduce energy consumption.

A vibrant heart for sports and encounters

More than just a clubhouse — this will be a vibrant meeting place for sports, relaxation and education. With plenty of daylight, natural materials and space for after-school care, the building feels open, warm and contemporary.

Building the future together

In cooperation with the Municipality of Delft, Ringpass will have a future-proof complex where sustainability, sports and community come together. Construction will start in 2026 — but the energy is already being felt.

Biobased sports complex as an example of sustainable construction

Sports and architecture that energize

The future of sports facilities lies in buildings that do more. They provide energy to athletes and their environment. The Ringpass sports complex in Delft shows how sustainable construction and biobased construction come together in a place where movement, encounter and health come naturally.

Timber construction as a carrier of quality and experience

Sustainable construction only really gains strength when we opt for biobased construction and smart, circular solutions. That's why we embrace timber construction: from CLT construction Netherlands to build solid wood and engineered timber buildings NL. If timber construction architect we are designing a sports complex that not only functions, but also feels like a warm, healthy place.

Biobased materials store CO₂, reduce environmental impact and provide a natural appearance. This creates an environment where athletes feel comfortable and visitors like to linger.

Nature-inclusive design that connects

The design brings sport and landscape together. Green, water and open space reinforce each other and make the complex part of its environment. Nature-inclusive construction here is not an ambition on paper, but a visible and tangible part of the design.

Internationally, this movement is growing rapidly. Initiatives such as https://builtbynature.org show how timber architecture Netherlands and engineered timber buildings NL contribute to a climate-neutral built environment.

Nature-inclusive and climate-adaptive design for sports and the city

A sports complex as a vibrant ecosystem

A sports complex can be much more than fields and buildings. It can be a place where sport, nature and community reinforce each other. In Delft, we therefore design an environment where climate-adaptive design, nature-inclusive construction and sustainable construction come together.

Building and landscape as a whole

Here, architecture and landscape flow into each other. Green zones, water collection and smart orientation ensure a robust, future-proof place. Rain is collected, heat is limited and every season gets space. This creates a strong foundation for a climate-proof urban plan and a healthy city.

Circular construction with a warm atmosphere

The choice of materials also contributes to this vision. With circular construction in the Netherlands, biobased materials and wood structures, a light, flexible structure is created. If renovation architect Netherlands and circular design architect we focus on the reuse of building materials and smart solutions that last.

The warm atmosphere of wood and natural materials enhances the experience of the building. It makes the place accessible, inviting and human.

Building a healthy and biodiverse city

Inside sustainable architecture Netherlands attention is growing for buildings that add both ecological and social value. Ringpass sports complex shows how architecture stimulates movement, makes encounters possible and contributes to urban biodiversity design.
