"Renovating a Football Field into an Air Conditioned Pickleball Court"
When Pickleball must be played all day in Bangkok’s heat, with temperatures typically ranging between 30–35°C and strong sunlight year-round, how can the space remain true to the feeling of an outdoor sport, the very charm of the game?
This renovation goes beyond changing the sport. It redefines the relationship between the club and the courts, creating a more seamless connection while preserving an outdoor atmosphere.
To address the climate, the courts are enclosed with masonry walls at the lower level and insulated metal panels above. New roof insulation is layered onto the existing structure and partially integrated with new elements to ensure temperature control, air filtration, and competition level lighting throughout the day. Lighting on the courts is carefully calculated for competitive play, while lighting in seating and surrounding areas is designed so that light sources remain hidden from the players’ view.
The space between the club and courts is reinterpreted as an active zone rather than circulation. Steps, tiered seating, planted areas, and a flexible open platform accommodate spectating, waiting, stretching, and future activities while connecting all six courts to the club. Above this zone, a new steel structure extends and slopes from the existing roof. Lightweight netting is suspended beneath it, while openings allow natural daylight to enter and sustain the atmosphere of an outdoor sport. Former aluminum-framed sliding doors are replaced with frameless glazing to strengthen visual continuity.
Orange terracotta brick maintains continuity with adjacent buildings on site. Glass blocks replace solid walls at the ice bath and restrooms, allowing natural light to penetrate deep into these spaces. The orange plastic safety net is reinterpreted as façade, partition, and suspended element, its lightness and shifting shadows subtly expressing the spatial language of a outdoor sport throughout the building.
