SuperHub represents a revitalised version of the traditional market hall. The cleverly constructed timber cross forms stabilize the building and give it a cathedral-like appearance. The choice for wood also ensures a positive climate impact, and the built-in heating and air treatment installation create an energy-efficient, comfortable indoor climate. In addition, the structure was built to last and offers the possibility for future adjustments and additions. In this way, SuperHub manifests itself as a future-proof community hub that will grow along with the development of Meerstad.
