The strong natural context defines the concept of the project. The topography of the land demands a terracing strategy in order to place the different courts at different levels following the slope of the hill. The building itself is therefore conceived as a continuation of that terracing: two floating terraces, white concrete slabs, overlooking the tennis compound. By positioning the building at the highest point of the land, it works as the last terrace of the project and as a great viewpoint, balcony to the rest of the plot, specially to the centre court, the heart of the project.
