Championship Mindset
With the venue serving foremost as a tennis stadium, the design team drew inspiration from the abstraction of a tennis ball. A circular motif is subtly woven into every space through arches, light fixtures, tile patterns, and wall textures. Utilizing a restrained color palette, the various program areas are defined by aesthetic changes in the texture and pattern of materials, furnishings, and custom art installations. The design also introduces an innovative flooring type called polished tabby – a terrazzo-like concrete flooring that incorporates local oyster shells.
Design Details
Inspired by Charleston’s iconic gardens, the Club Level frames sweeping views of Spanish moss and lush tree canopies, extending the Lowcountry landscape into the interior through layered green hues, textured materials, and immersive biophilic design. Rich green wall finishes, pale green tile, and acoustic moss installations create a verdant backdrop, while the Players’ Lounge offers athletes and coaches a tranquil retreat with elevated, treehouse-like views, a softened palette, and sound-absorbing elements that foster relaxation and focus.
Throughout the premium hospitality spaces, custom wood slat ceilings and illuminated architectural features lend warmth and sophistication to the private suites. Expansive central islands encourage gathering and connection, while accordion glass doors open directly to the stadium, transforming each suite into a premier viewing environment with flexible acoustics and seamless indoor-outdoor engagement. The result is a hospitality experience that balances durability and performance with comfort, intimacy, and a strong connection to place.
