The ski jump is part of a larger refurbishment project for the Olympic Arena and replaces the old ski jump which no longer met with international standards. The building is a hybrid of highly specialized sports facilities and public spaces, including a café and a viewing terrace. These different programs are combined into a single new shape, which extends the topography of the slope into the sky.
At a length of 90m and a height of almost 50m, the building is a combination of a tower and a bridge. Structurally it is divided into the vertical concrete tower and a steel space frame structure, which integrates the ramp and the café. Two elevators bring visitors up to the public café and viewing terrace - unique to all ski jumps around the world - creating a new public space for the city surrounded by majestic alpine landscapes.
