COVERED PADEL – LE PORT MARLY (FRANCE)

An Exceptional Covered Padel Facility at Les Pyramides Club (Le Port-Marly in France)

The prestigious Les Pyramides Club, located just 20 minutes from Paris, has expanded its padel offering with the creation of Le Dôme, a new structure housing five indoor courts. Inaugurated this year, it blends performance, sustainability, and elegance.

Named Le Dôme, this new covered space allows for year-round padel play, regardless of weather conditions.
The roof is made of a tensioned textile membrane, providing optimal protection from the elements while allowing natural light to filter through. The upper façades are made of micro-perforated fabric, enabling both natural ventilation and visual connection with the surrounding environment.

The supporting structure features a hybrid frame made of hot-dip galvanized steel and glued laminated timber. This construction method combines robustness, architectural elegance, and environmental performance.
The steel ensures long-term durability, while the wood brings warmth and visual lightness to the structure. To perfectly match the club’s contemporary aesthetic, the timber was painted grey, resulting in a refined, understated appearance that harmonizes beautifully with the site’s architecture.

Le Dôme fits seamlessly into the high-end environment of Les Pyramides Club, enhancing its already rich sports offering that includes tennis courts, fitness areas, and wellness facilities.
Thanks to this covered structure, players can now enjoy optimal playing conditions all year round.

This project showcases SMC2’s expertise in designing sports facilities that are technical, sustainable, and visually appealing, while adapting to the specific demands of exceptional locations.
