Neumatt Sports Center is a three-pitch sports hall in Strengelbach, Switzerland. Inside, green, yellow, red, orange and blue are used both as decoration and as a navigation system, and changing rooms are identified by color instead of numbers. The glazed upper level uses capillary glass that brings daylight deep into the hall and reduces glare.
