Outdoor · Planning study
An outdoor club setting.
A court should fit the club’s future, as well as the space available today.
The starting point
Understand the setting before selecting the court.
An outdoor club may have playing areas, established circulation, neighbouring properties and a daily pattern of use. A new padel court needs to fit that setting. This study explores a possible coastal club setting using Kauri court models. Site suitability, engineering and project approvals need to be established before delivery.
The first questions
- Who will use the court, and how will it fit the club’s programme?
- What are the exposure, boundary, noise and lighting considerations?
- What is known about levels, drainage and the existing ground?
- How will people, delivery vehicles and maintenance access the site?
The next useful output
A site brief that separates confirmed information from open questions, with a court configuration to assess and the professional inputs needed before a proposal can be finalised.
Any resulting court layout or structural solution needs to be developed and confirmed for the actual site.
