The customer of the project is the municipality, which held a corresponding architectural competition back in 2016. The base is located on the banks of the Netta River in the city center, next to the sluice of the famous Augustow Canal. The green area in the bend of the channel should turn into a recreational area with sports facilities, a playground, and various amenities. The rowing base forms the first stage of this project.
The water sports center with an area of 770 m2 and a budget of 5.7 million zlotys (1.4 million of which was allocated by the Ministry of Sports) is intended primarily for the Sparta kayak club, as well as for competitions and other sporting events.
The origami-like shape of the building with sharp corners conveys the idea of dynamics. The difference in height corresponds to the internal structure: the hangar for storing the kayaks and the workshop are located in a more spacious part. The facades of the base are sheathed with Siberian larch boards, the roof is green.
In addition to the aforementioned hangar, the building contains changing rooms, a gym with river views, a club meeting room, and a public toilet. Near the base, near the water, a small boathouse for motor boats has been built with two platforms and mini-stands, ending with an observation deck.
