Tennis Courts
Wimbledon, London, UKOur masterplan focused on reorganising the entire championship site to improve facilities while retaining the spirit of ‘tennis in an English garden’.
We treated the site as a country estate, with Wimbledon’s Centre Court as the manor house and surrounding courts as formal gardens.
The masterplan led onto numerous new developments and enhancements for the All England Lawn Tennis Club including a new 11,000-seat No 1 Court, a broadcast centre and two-lane road tunnel. The next phase of developments included the Millennium building and improvements to Centre Court and the most recent project was the design of a new Court No. 2 for 5,000 spectators alongside new facilities for junior tennis players.
