JYSK Park with a premier-league architectural façade

When Årstiderne Arkitekter (now Sweco Architects) designed JYSK Park in Silkeborg, the vision was to create a stadium that functioned optimally for both players and up to 10,000 spectators – while also giving the city a striking new landmark.

The façade became a central part of that ambition. With specially perforated and customised Dark Silver sinusoidal sheets, the stadium has acquired an iconic appearance in which rhythm, depth and lightness combine to form a powerful architectural whole.

The façade cladding covers a total of 4,300 square metres and demonstrates how steel profiles can elevate a sports facility far beyond the purely functional.

JYSK Park was inaugurated on 31 July 2017, when Silkeborg IF hosted AGF – a match that Silkeborg won 2–1.
