The new building extension for the Ferreries Tennis Club, housing the club’s offices and meeting room, opens fully to the tennis courts. Extending beneath a large lightweight roof, it is designed for a place in constant motion.

Founded in 1987, the Ferreries Tennis Club was in need of an extension. The new building was to stand on a triangular plot, between its characteristic green courts and an existing wall facing the street and enclosing the sports complex.

The structure of the new building is elevated on metal pillars above an existing ground floor and responds to each of its three sides in a differentiated way.

Alongside the street-facing perimeter wall, only the sloping roof is visible, maintaining a discreet urban presence. The building’s entrance is on the shortest side of the triangular plot, providing access to both the courts and the club’s upper-level space.

Deeply connected to the activity it shelters, the building opens entirely to the tennis courts, offering a privileged and uninterrupted view of the game.

With its own identity, yet clearly part of a larger whole, the new building at Ferreries Tennis Club embraces the lightness and the industrial character of sports architecture. The use of a neutral palette responds too to its industrial ethos, while giving way to the tennis courts’ iconic green.
