"Henning Larsen has been selected to design Centralbadet, a new public swimming and sports center in Gothenburg, Sweden. The winning timber proposal - developed in collaboration with Winell & Jern Architects, Ramboll, and sports science lecturer John Dohlsten - is expected to open in 2031. The upcoming Centralbadet represents a major investment in the city's cultural infrastructure and continues Gothenburg's legacy of public swimming spaces in a way that is sustainable and contemporary."
"To support everyday life, the design incorporates flexible gathering areas, stroller parking, and - in the true Scandinavian style - a dedicated bicycle garage. ' The intention behind Centralbadet is to prioritize social and health benefits as much as athletic performance,' says Martin Stenberg Ringnér, Design Director at Henning Larsen. ' From quiet nooks to sunlit rooftops, we wanted every visit to feel accessible, connected, and integrated with the rhythms of the city.'"
Henning Larsen will design Centralbadet, a 51,850-square-meter public swimming and sports center in Gothenburg scheduled to open in 2031. The winning timber proposal was developed with Winell & Jern Architects, Ramboll, and sports science lecturer John Dohlsten. The complex will host Olympic-standard pools and diving facilities alongside family pools, learning spaces, four sports halls, a basketball court, a gym, outdoor pools, saunas, and a café. The design includes flexible gathering areas, stroller parking, and a dedicated bicycle garage. The intention is to prioritize social and health benefits while integrating accessible, connected spaces aligned with the city's rhythms.
