Dallas-based GFF Inc. has a community project in the works with application to the designs its Church Works Studio handles. Although the project, called City Futsal, is focused on bringing the game of futsal to the masses, its casual outdoor gathering-space appeal is sought out and seemingly replicated in many modern church projects. Futsal is an indoor soccer-styled game that's currently popular in Europe and gaining popularity in the United States.
Site selection
This project is adjacent to the newly renovated Dallas Farmers Market on a former surface parking area surrounded by highways and busy city streets. The project consists of four buildings: three containing Futsal Courts and a fourth containing support and visitor facilities. A running track surrounds the perimeter. The futsal courts are simple pre-manufactured metal structures carefully composed on the site with open sides and roll down side awnings for inclement weather. The actual futsal courts are made of a high tech transparent poly-carbonite surface internally illuminated by LED lighting from below.
