Location: Surat

This project reimagines The Surat Tennis Club as a contemporary sports and recreation club as a calm yet energetic social hub. The design balances raw architectural elements—exposed concrete columns, grid ceilings, and industrial lighting—with warm wood paneling and soft furnishings to create an environment that feels both robust and welcoming.

Thoughtfully planned circulation areas, access-controlled entries, and lounge zones are layered with greenery and custom seating to encourage pause, interaction, and comfort. Subtle lighting accents, clean material transitions, and integrated wayfinding ensure clarity of movement while maintaining a refined visual language throughout the space.

Art installations and curated details inject personality and motion, echoing the active spirit of the club while grounding it in modern elegance. The result is a cohesive interior that supports functionality, enhances user experience, and reflects a contemporary lifestyle-driven design approach—where leisure, movement, and community seamlessly intersect.
