Racquet Sport Club
Type: Pickleball club
Location: Austin, Texas

This new pickleball-focused club is designed around movement, shade, and social connection. Featuring 16 outdoor courts, shaded gathering zones, food trucks, and a streamlined clubhouse, the layout organizes recreation and relaxation into one cohesive venue. The design prioritizes circulation and sightlines—ensuring players, spectators, and casual visitors all find a place to plug into the energy of the game.
Trees and overhead structures provide shade and spatial rhythm throughout the site, while food and beverage nodes reinforce a lively social experience. The minimalist architecture uses simple forms and durable materials to anchor the activity, offering a functional yet elevated environment for both competitive and recreational play.
