DNA’s collaborative and holistic design approach supported and helped to crystallise the architect Aryanour Djalali´s vision during the early stages of design.

This impressive structure is designed to exceed the highest possible classification from olimpic requirements. This elite rating would allow the new building to host a future Olimpic Sports Museum.

To ensure this level of quality in the design, our design specialists worked closely with specialized departments throughout the design stage.

The museum’s defining feature is a distinctive asymmetric roof. As a result, the gallery’s lighting experiences a dynamic relationship with its external environment as the sun moves across the sky and the cloud changes. The results of this work can be also seen in the facade openings, which exploit the natural daylight experienced on each level of the museum, as well as in the fluorescent lighting system that provides lighting ambient after dark.
