Project

All those involved in constructing the roof of the speed-skating rink of Inzell were pursuing an ambitious goal: creating the world’s fastest ice rink. This goal was achieved with flying colors during the ice speed-skating world championship 2011. Temme Obermeier’s task consisted in coating the cullis with a PVC/PES membrane, installing pneumatic roof lights and designing the membrane of the inner silicone glass suspended ceiling. The special characteristics of the design are: reflecting the cold, saving energy and providing for better acoustics. Temme Obermeier succeeded in creating a unique combination of architectural esthetics and sustainable economics.
