Tennis club near Gijón

Abstract

This club was designed so that it could be simultaneously used by about eighty members, and that in exceptional circumstances around three hundred people could be accommodated. Also, its design allows for future extensions. The club provides the following facilities: three tennis courts, and spare room for an additional one, a small swimming pool, a social building and parking space. The social building has a hall, a general lounge, a room for games, a lecture hall and the usual services. The design of this building is based on a modular arrangement, so that there is a general harmony and unity between its various parts, whether these serve the needs of larger groups of people or the more intimate needs of the small groups who normally use the club. It also facilitates the independent furnishing of each module of the building. The modules situated in the centre of the building, with vaulted roofs, are meant to stand out with respect to the others, and provide a more balanced external outline to the project, which is located within an ondulating countryside background. The flooring of the club extends continuously into the terraces outside, and sliding doors thus add to the close integration of the indoor space and the outdoor environment.
