A hillside padel club designed to grow from its terrain. Terraces, exposed concrete, and panoramic courts frame the forest, shaping an immersive sports experience guided by elevation, rhythm, and nature.

Perched on a 15m hillside in Sentul, this padel club brings the experience of playing in the forest to life. Terraced platforms step down the slope, while floating seating forms pagoda-like layers that guide visitors through the landscape. Shifting façades direct movement across the compound, as the membrane and concrete structure frame the surrounding greenery. Panoramic glass courts blur the boundary between sport and nature, creating an immersive retreat shaped by elevation, rhythm, and the forest itself.

The compound accommodates three padel courts and a semi-outdoor seating area, all nestled among mature trees and carefully integrated into the hillside. Terraces, floating platforms, and layered façades establish a quiet cadence, opening each level to forest views and crafting a grounded yet elevated experience shaped by slope, light, and movement.

By celebrating its exposed concrete structure, the design embraces material honesty. The raw texture of beams and slabs reinforces a sense of groundedness, allowing the built form to coexist seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
