The building is one of two new pavilion buildings that were built for the National Football Centre in the cultural protected landscape park at Brdo pri Kranju, near the renaissance Brdo castle.

 The image of the existing hippodrome with its green embankment became the leading motif in the design of the complex series of programs of changing rooms, fitness, wellness, storage rooms and other service areas. All of these programs are designed below the level of the green embankment outside.

 The only optically exposed object in the landscape is the lounge that seems to float above it. The transparent pavilion design allows the natural surrounding to optically pass through the volume of the building.
