The new tennis courts and clubhouse facilities for members of TK LTC 1927 Praha – Michle are located on the site of the former Michelské bakeries, an area now being transformed into an attractive urban neighborhood.

The complex includes a clubhouse building, seven tennis courts, and one training court. Five courts are traditional clay, while two courts and the training field have artificial surfaces. The architectural and urban design is minimalist, unifying the site through clean expressive elements such as basalt façade panels and exposed concrete.

The clubhouse building, which houses all facilities, has an irregular trapezoidal footprint that maximizes the potential of the irregularly shaped plot. This layout also defines the massing. The mono-pitched roof slopes steeply downward toward the east, tapering the building from a taller two-story volume on the west to a lower single-story section on the east. On the second floor, a recessed terrace is carved into the building volume, offering a comfortable view of all the tennis courts. Maximizing sightlines and creating ideal conditions for watching tournaments were key priorities.

The compact form of the clubhouse is reinforced by a unified material approach to the exterior envelope. All façades and the roof plane are designed using a ventilated double-skin cladding system with Rockpanel Natural basalt panels as the visible outer layer. This is a unique solution — these compressed basalt panels have never before been used as cladding for a sloped roof structure.

The central space of the building is the clubhouse itself, conceived as the social heart of the club — a place for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying the club atmosphere. Its importance and connection to the site are emphasized by large-scale glazing facing the tennis courts and the generous height of the space created by the rising roofline. The layout also includes locker rooms and restrooms, a relaxation or training room, an apartment for the groundskeeper, and technical support areas. The interior cleverly reuses furnishings from the original clubhouse.

All paved surfaces and paths within the fenced site are made of concrete. The remaining areas are grassed and planted with trees and shrubs, which will form a natural hedge along the property boundaries.
