Private Indroor basketball court Athens, Greece

This private indoor basketball court is an energetic anomaly in the calm neighbourhood in the centre of Athens, working as an eye-catching poster boy for one of the city’s most popular sports.

Set on a raised grass bank next to the road, three separate forms converge in one structure. Evoking the rhythms and cadence of play, wooden and steel elements fold into each other to create a holistic facade. Thin rectangular windows are embedded across the building’s exterior to control the entrance of natural light. 

A pragmatic approach informs the arrangement of the facilities inside. Key features include an underground gym, a small swimming pool, and also a health bar. But the main attraction is the basketball court. Housed on street level, two adjacent staircases bring visitors up to the viewing area where spectators can watch the match.
