Nike, Moscow’s Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture, and Design, and Kosmos Architects are currently developing an environmentally-friendly sports facility in Gorky Park, Moscow.

According to Archdaily, the key goal was to develop an environmentally-friendly park for athletes of all sporting interests to enjoy. As such, the park will have a street football court, a basketball court, an indoor training facility, and a running club hub.

Additional features include an interactive billboard that will feature video art, a “3D workout wall” for stretching, pull-ups, and workouts, as well as a lounge area for both the public and sports trainees to rest in.

The winning design is reportedly inspired by the Nike Air sneaker box – a concept presented by the building’s rectangular shape with each of the four sides hosting a different function. Construction begins sometime in 2017.
