Design for maintenance and usability.
I could see teens seeing if they can hit the hanging lights with pucks.

How are those lights going to be changed?

For No. 2, how do players/coaches get from the locker room to the benches; is it right under our POV? The windows will be broken or riddled with condensation.

No. 1 reminds me of the (now replaced) open air rink at my old high school. I would vote for it.

Does the site have a nice view? If yes, then I like #2. If it is surrounded by warehouses, then #1.

Dear OP,
Please tell me you really are in charge of designing an ice rink for a town. The idea just sounds lovely.

I don’t think they’re at the same level. It’s a photoshopped design but the stairs and handrails look like they’re meant to depict different levels.

Pucks leaving the ice are going to wreak havoc on those windows.

The first is for somewhere that gets a lot of snow the pointy roof so the snow falls off and less glass to keep it warm because i brt its really cold outside.
The second has to be in a more temperate climate and theyre spending a lot on AC and cooling. With all that glass i bet it can also be used for other multi purpose events.


Hmm. Good points.

2. I love no. 1 though. It is very Scandinavian Viking style. But, it somehow manages to make it look smaller and cramped. Hence, no2.

1st one is perfect setting to watch Elsa Live! On Ice traveling show. 2nd is stunning, I didn’t even know they made ice rinks like that. I vote for 2 just to get away from the sad refrigerator box rink style.

1 just feels nicer but natural light from 2 is nice also. Though half the people using 2 would be looking out to darkness.

I know this is incredibly random but bear with me as I'm curious what others think. If you had to vote between these two designs for a town ice rink, which one would you choose?

1:


2:
