Green facade of Sporthal Theothorne enhances sustainability and vitality

In the heart of downtown Dieren, the organization of Sporthal Theothorne is committed to making sports and exercise accessible to all residents. The green facade of Sporthal Theothorne transforms the sports hall into more than just a place for activity. It now also contributes to a greener and healthier environment. This green facade perfectly matches the vision: strengthening vitality and recreation, with a focus on sustainability.

Together for a greener Dieren

Jan Woltering, Senior Technical Advisor at the Real Estate & Facilities team at the municipality of Rheden, talks about the sustainability efforts at Sporthal Theothorne. “The project combines maintenance work with our plan to make the sports hall gas-free and to green the paved surroundings.” MobiPanel plays a key role in this. “We give the building a friendlier appearance while also improving biodiversity in the area.” Although the facade has only just been installed, the first reactions are positive. “The contractors think it looks wonderful, and the effect on the surroundings is already visible.”

The green facade of Sporthal Theothorne as an example of sustainability

The Technical Support team at Mobilane plays a crucial role in every project. Before installing the MobiPanel living wall system, the technical team always creates a detailed planting plan. This takes into account the location and orientation of the building so that the plants can grow and thrive optimally. By carefully considering factors such as sunlight, wind direction, and shade, the right plant species are placed in the right spot.

The foundation for a productive collaboration

Rik van Laar, Team Leader WAM & Van Duren Zakelijk, emphasizes the successful collaboration during the installation of the green facade of Sporthal Theothorne. “Our client designs the project in which the green facade, with the MobiPanel system, is a key element.” The installation runs smoothly and according to plan. Pre-grown plants arrive in excellent condition, and when challenges occur, the team responds quickly. Cooperation with Mobilane is pleasant and efficient.

Natural aesthetics around the sports hall

For the green facade of Sporthal Theothorne, which covers no less than 269 square meters, a carefully selected mix of plant species was chosen that are both aesthetically attractive and beneficial to biodiversity: Carex oshimensis ‘Evergreen’, Lonicera nitida ‘Maigrun’, Vinca minor, and Alchemilla mollis. These species provide a varied texture and color, giving the facades a lively and dynamic appearance throughout the year. Thanks to the modular design with replaceable plant cassettes, different plants can thrive optimally, giving the facade a sustainable and natural look.

With the green facade of Sporthal Theothorne, a vibrant whole is created that blends seamlessly into the surroundings while at the same time enhancing the ecological value of the area.
