This bespoke padel court was designed as a high-performance private facility, transforming a former tennis court into a fully glazed padel arena. The court features professional-grade surfacing, sleek black steel framing, and tensioned mesh above glass panels creating a clean, modern edge while maintaining unobstructed views.
The primary design focus was on the interior transformation. A new spatial strategy reorganised circulation and depart. A multifunctional AstroTurf surround supports casual sport and recreation, including markings for other activities and a seamless extension into landscaped areas. Curved lighting columns and a concrete apron ensure safe, evening use and elegant visual integration with the surrounding trees and built context ments to improve staff workflow and client interfacing. The material palette balances corporate neutrality with moments of warmth — achieved through light grey marble-look tiles, natural wood doors, and charcoal-toned aluminium.
