The project, designed by principal architects Víctor Larripa, Daniel Ruiz de Gordejuela, Javier Martínez, and Alejandro Maortua, covers 800 square meters and was completed in 2024. The building integrates into its complex urban site in the village center, serving both as a sports facility and a flexible community space. Structural engineering was provided by Josep Agustí, with civil engineering by ATEC. Photographs of the project were taken by Pablo Garcia Esparza. The design responds to the village's historic character while offering modern amenities for sports and community activities. The project was curated by Valentina Díaz and published on ArchDaily in Spanish. The fronton is a traditional Basque pelota court, reflecting the region's cultural heritage. The multipurpose space aims to host various events, enhancing the village's social infrastructure. The project's completion in 2024 marks a significant addition to the local architecture, blending contemporary design with the medieval context.
