Brown sports hall in the heart of the forest

Just outside Aarhus lies Risskov – a district named after Riis Skov, Denmark’s first public forest, which was given to the people of Aarhus by Margaret I as early as 1395. It is in this part of Aarhus – in the middle of the ‘forest’, one might say – that Risskov Efterskole is located.

The school now has a new sports hall, and the colours of the forest have influenced its appearance. The façade is clad in Nordic Klikfals 475 in Acorn Brown, a colour that is both warm and beautiful.

The new hall is designed to create a connection between its surroundings and the activities within. The vertical lines of the façade cladding mirror the trees in the forest, while the large windows let in light and open the space up to its surroundings. Nordic Klikfals creates an architectural expression that harmonises with both nature and the modern urban environment.

Functional design with a long service life

The steel profiles on the sports hall are not only aesthetically pleasing – they are also a practical choice. Nordic Klikfals is known for its durability and strength. With Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze certification, the materials ensure high quality and provide a responsible foundation for modern construction.

At the same time, the steel cladding is resistant to wind and weather, providing a low-maintenance solution. In fact, our Nordic Klikfals is designed to withstand wind gusts up to hurricane force.

Our Nordic Klikfals is available in two different widths and with or without design lines, allowing you to create exactly the look you envision.
