Four courts in a warehouse shell. The operator had booked out every evening slot within a month and still had nobody staying afterwards for a drink.

Glass-walled padel courts with green playing surfaces under a skylit steel roof, terracotta walls and tiered seating alongside — TERRACOTTA / SERPONG

Scope: Interior architecture, clubhouse, F&B fit-out
Area: 1,850 sqm
Duration: 8 months

Problem

01 A warehouse with four courts and nothing else in it
02 Players arrived, played, and left inside ninety minutes
03 No sightline from the café to a single court

Design Approach

The courts were left to be what they are — glass, steel and daylight from the existing skylights — and everything around them was warmed up until the building read as a club rather than a shed. Terracotta render and brick screens carry the perimeter, timber slats drop the ceiling over the social zones, and the café counter was rotated so every seat in it looks down a court. The tiered bank between the two runs of courts is the whole strategy in one move: it turns waiting for the next game into somewhere to be.

“The courts were never the problem. People just had no reason to still be here at nine o'clock, and now they are.”
