"How do you create a space that serves both as a representative business meeting point and an emotional safe haven within an arena?"

The answer: the new HDAO Lounge

A space that uniquely combines business comfort, exclusivity, and stadium atmosphere — the HDAO Lounge in the VELTINS-Arena is now complete. goracon executed the project as general contractor, handling everything from initial planning and visualization to turnkey delivery.
The lounge impresses with a clear interior concept, high-quality materials, and a striking royal blue color scheme that reflects the company’s identity and its connection to Schalke 04. Custom seating areas, herringbone oak flooring, an integrated bar area, and thoughtfully designed technical solutions create a space that functions both as a representative meeting point for business discussions and as an emotional save haven within the arena.
The combination of wooden slats and dark built-in elements gives the lounge an exclusive and timeless overall impression.
