Whether it’s a game of padel, squash, bowling, snooker & pool, fitness, or a good old-fashioned arcade game, a variety of sports is always in line of sight from the centrally positioned LOUNGE22.
By dissolving boundaries between individuals and sports, a comfortable and accessible atmosphere is created.
HAL22 sets a new standard where sports fanatics and ‘seriously having fun’ go hand in hand.

Our goal was to create a powerful colour palette to justify HAL22s’ identity which could fit all activities at the same time. As a result, dark colours and bright textures are used to create a strong connection between multiple spaces and functionalities. By carefully tweaking the light setup we made sure atmospheres matched the use of space; on the one hand, bright functional light for active areas, on the other hand, toned down light with wall washers for more informality and relaxation areas.
In 2023 a new 'fitness experience' will be added to the complex, complementing the overall look and feel of HAL22 once more.
