The tennis facility
“Top Spin” is designed for people to not just play tennis, it’s a place to
meet, watch, hang out and socialize, its designed for tennis, its designed for
tennis to be not just a sport, but a lifestyle.
The layout is arranged
so that the clubhouse with the lounge, pro shop and lockers form the entrance
and once you entered the site you get the overwhelming view over the all the
courts.
The outdoor courts are arranged to create spaces between the courts, for people
to meet off the court. The courts are dropped down, like an arena, so that the
players are not distracted by people wondering around the facility.
The indoor courts are
served with a separate locker room on the south-east side of the building (that
also serves the PEB building), so the indoor courts become their own facility
in the winter.
The indoor courts are covered by a steel structure with kalwall openings that
let diffused light in, so that there are no awkward shadows on the courts. The
structure continues throughout the east, south and west walls and becomes a
glass façade on the north side to let secondary light in and connect the indoor
facility with the outdoor facility.
