I think we have achieved it,” Ozgur explained one and before giving way to Hugo Berenguer, CEO of the Rafael de la-Hoz study, winner of the International Ideas Contest and in charge of designing the new Benito Villamarín stadium.
“We started working in October 2023 and, in a year and a half, with a lot of work, we have been able to develop a project that landed all real needs, both sports, business and costs. From there, we develop the basic project and the execution project of which we are all very satisfied, in much detail and coordination,” Berenguer said.
The presentation of the new Benito Villamarín stadium was carried out by Óscar Linares, project director of the project. Linares made a tour of the fundamental parts of the stadium, especially the preference stands, which will have an annexed building, with performances in the outer area that will improve the adjacent public spaces.
The architect was renovating the project according to the different levels, from the two basement plants, with the parking areas that will serve the Annex building and the stadium itself; to the upper levels, with the different locations that will be built in the different plants: competition areas, restoration areas, auditorium and press room, television studies, official store or VIP areas with their different accesses.
A most versatile installation
The architect in charge of directing the project emphasized the upper terrace of the preference stands, which will allow both enjoying the game and spectacular views to the Heliopolis neighborhood. He also offered some details of the facade, with a design that recreates the thirteen bars of the shield wrapping the entire stadium with opening points to generate windows with vision abroad; and of the roof, which will improve the experience of fans during the game. “We have sought that the installation is as versatile as possible,” Linares said.
