Abstract

By facing the recent rise in surf practitioners in Brazil it becomes notorious the shortage of places to train professional athletes as well as fraternization spaces connected to that practice. This awoke an interest in developing the preliminary study of a sports club complex with public and private characteristics to make up this demand. The project is about a complex and training center with sports, commercial and leisure activities, with its aesthetics based on contemporary architectural features, by the use of straight lines, playing with plans and volumes and constructive techniques with the use of metallic structures, glass, steel and exposed concrete. The complex is located at the Barreira D'água beach, ocean side along the Via Costeira Avenue in Natal/RN, more precisely in Post B, renowned place for surfing and having good waves. The building presented will have different sectors: Sports, Commercial, Administration, Services, Club activities and surf support. Its private space will have Gyms, stores, restaurant, coworking rooms, a club with gourmet areas, lockers and classrooms. The public space is where you'll find a public square, beach access, bathrooms and a surf support area. The specific goals of this paper is to promote and enhance surf practice and the local athlete, by providing a new leisure option and a quality environment that stands out for its innovation, becoming appealing for practitioners, sports fans, tourists and general population
