Holding Court.
The concept for this tennis club is influenced by the purity and grace of the game and by the simplicity of the equipment – a racquet, a ball, a net and a playing surface.
To remind the members of these qualities, lightweight, open and light coloured materials and assemblies such as open web steel joists, corrugated steel deck and glass were selected and detailed to a high degree.
The main room was thrown open to the out-of-doors through extensive use of glazing. The roof visor form is mirrored in the shape of the concrete patio.
