Blue Flames Sports Facility
Newcastle, UK
Rubb's flair for architectural details is clearly displayed by Blue Flames Sporting Club at Longbenton, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Blue Flames' reverse curved roof provided a construction challenge, with Rubb having to ensure a seamless curve on both the steel framework and the PVC cladding.
One of the key features of these indoor facilities is the natural light allowed in through the semi-translucent roof.
This natural lighting not only saves on energy costs but also provides a lighter, brighter and more appealing sports activity environment than other structures. The 47m (154ft) span x 66m (217ft) long Blue Flames Sport and Leisure building stands adjacent to the Newcastle United Indoor Football Centre, another one of Rubb's premier sports structures.
