Architecture for padel halls and leisure venues
Spaces designed for experiences
We develop and design spaces that people want to experience – from padel facilities and leisure concepts to individual spaces for working and living. From the first sketch to the building permit – exactly the planning your project needs.
Our focus
Padel, from idea to venue.
We combine planning with operational know-how – which is why we know before the first line what a venue later fails on. Indoor and outdoor.
Feasibility
What the site allows, how many courts it carries, what planning law permits.
Concept
Possibilities become a design: orientation, routes, clubhouse, operation.
Approval
Building application and authority procedure – at the end the permit is in hand.
Feasibility & site
Before we draw,
we look at the bigger picture.
Is the location suitable? How many courts are possible? What do planning law and daily operation demand? We assess the potential before the first line is drawn.
- Location and catchment
- Use and area potential
- Layout and concept studies
- Indoor and outdoor scenarios
- Initial assessment of feasibility
From site to concept
More than courts.
We develop concepts that turn a site into a place. Courts, buildings, access and open spaces – thought through together, not one after the other.
Indoor
New builds, existing halls, conversions.
Outdoor
New locations, existing sports facilities.
More than courts
Reception, lounge, gastronomy, changing rooms.
Our planning process
From first sketch
to building permit.
We plan the phases where the decisions are made – from the initial concept to the permit. One contact, all the way through.

FAQ
Planning a padel hall:
what to settle first.
The questions that come up in almost every first conversation, answered briefly.
How much space does a padel court need?
The playing area is 20 × 10 metres. With run-off, paths and ancillary space, each court needs considerably more in practice. How many courts a site can take is part of our feasibility study.
How high does a padel hall need to be?
The rules of the international federation FIP require at least 6 metres of clear height above the court. For halls with ambitious play, we plan higher.
Do padel courts need a building permit?
Usually yes, outdoors too. The details depend on the regional building code and the local development plan. With padel, noise protection almost always comes into it: rallies against the glass walls are loud, and the neighbours have a say.
Can an existing hall be converted?
Often yes, for example a commercial or tennis hall. What matters is clear height, column grid and structure. The change of use usually needs a permit, and we handle the application.
Which planning services do you cover?
From the initial assessment to the building permit, i.e. work stages 1 to 4 under the German HOAI: feasibility, concept, design and permit application.
What does the planning cost?
That depends on the size and scope of the project; the HOAI fee scale gives a guide. The first conversation is free. After that you get an offer that fits your project.
Do you also provide the booking software?
Yes, if you want it. We build booking, payments and memberships ourselves – see the software page. That way the venue is planned around how it will run from day one.
Where do you work?
Our office is in Bitburg, Germany. We plan in Germany and Luxembourg.
First conversation
Let’s talk about your project.
A venue, a conversion or a house – you talk directly to the planner, not to an assistant. The first conversation is free and without obligation.
