Kiel Olympic Sailing Competitions 2024

Kiel Olympic Sailing Competitions 2024

Behnisch Architekten as Architects

Sense of purpose and sustainability are the focus of the masterplan for the Olympic Sailing Competitions 2024 in Kiel. Along with the applicant city of Hamburg the 1972 Olympic Centre Schilksee will be developed for the Olympic Sailing Competitions 2024 to become a more comprehensively vital and diverse centre for maritime sports.


An international reputation as a recognized site for hosting major sailing competitions has already been established due to the high functionality of the existing Olympic Centre. Improvements to connectivity and better integration with the surrounding context will extend the offer of new attractions to local communities and visitors who will rediscover the Olympic Centre. New building structures will only be implemented where an Olympic legacy use has been proven to be viable. A diverse and vitalized centre for life and maritime sports will emerge.


As a new centre for maritime life the Olympic Boulevard leads from the existing elevated promenade down to the water’s edge. Public access to uses in the ground floor of adjacent new buildings will comprehensively active the harbour.


As a beacon for the German sailing sport the Sailing Campus is slated to become a centre of excellence for professional and amateur communities that will invite the general public to experience the sport of sailing. The building integrates space for training, work, exhibition and recreational purposes in an open and inviting home


The Hotel is situated at the intersection of the harbour promenade and the new Olympic Boulevard. Hotel accommodation is elevated over a podium level integrating functions with public access. The orientation of the structure at the corner of the Soling Street is optimized to provide views of life in the harbour and to capitalize on the climatic benefits of this location.


The Olympic Sailing Village defines a new Northern terminus to the Olympic Centre. Volume and massing distribution mediate between the large scale of the Olympic Centre, the harbour front and the surrounding green landscape. The concept of a comprehensively diverse neighbourhood is supported through the mix of apartment and row house buildings that offer a range of dwelling sizes and plan solutions.


The organization and programming of space for the Olympic Sailing Competition 2024 into four compact and interwoven zones projects the original vision for the Olympic Centre Schilksee into the future: The closest possible encounter between life and sailing in one place. An athlete area that is compact and legible, centrally located space for operational and jury services and an area for spectators are all carefully choreographed to provide the best possible experience of sailing sport in action. Logistical functions and retained access to existing residential units is secured from the rear of the existing buildings.
