Arechi Stadium Restyling

At present, the spectator stands are arranged in two rings, with the lower one suffering from severe visibility limitations. The restyling project therefore involves the demolition of the latter and the subsequent construction of a new ring as a natural extension of the upper one, so as to obtain a compact bowl characterized by optimal visibility in all sectors. New grandstands will rise in the corner of the stadium, in continuity with the existing grandstands, as a natural geometric completion of the bowl. These grandstands will house glazed volumes with hospitality spaces and terraces, also allowing visual continuity from the playing field toward the sea. Eighteen new Skyboxes will be built, ideal for experiencing the emotions of the game in a private and exclusive environment, also available outside of match days as meeting rooms or spaces in which to entertain guests overlooking the field.

The project includes the addition of a new roof-which the stadium currently lacks-in order to improve the experience and comfort of all spectators, limit sound leakage, increase lighting, and allow for the installation of photovoltaic panels. The restyling also includes the construction of an aluminum façade that, running all the way around the perimeter at the new roof, will give the stadium a new visual and functional identity: with its reflective action, aluminum captures light, constantly changing the perception of the façade and imitating the changing reflections of the sea, near which the facility stands.

At the basis of the project is respect for the city and its enhancement, along with that of the team and fans: the restyling of the Arechi stadium aims to give life to a place that combines passion for sports with love for the community. A stadium designed to be inclusive, without architectural and social barriers, keeping as a cornerstone of the intervention the focus on sustainability: a choice that translates into the use of cutting-edge technologies that minimize environmental impact and maximize energy efficiency.

The redevelopment of the Arechi Stadium has also been interpreted as an opportunity to rethink the facility from as multifunctional a perspective as possible: to this end, the project envisages the creation of spaces characterized by a high degree of flexibility, designed to function as lounges on match days but that can also host events and conferences during the week and on days when no sports matches are scheduled.
