Tennisclub Haus in Zollikerberg

Situated at the edge of the forest in Zollikerberg, the new Tennisclub Haus blends quietly into its natural surroundings. The low, timber-clad structure with its wide overhanging roof and wrap-around terrace appears like a clearing in the woods. With its elongated form and open spatial layout, the clubhouse invites both retreat and openness—always in dialogue with the trees, the sky, and the tennis courts.

Inside, natural materials and fluid transitions create a warm, communal atmosphere. Surfaces of spruce and oak bring lightness and softness, while large-scale glazing blurs the boundary between indoors and outdoors. Members gather in sun or shade—on terraces that seamlessly extend the game into the surrounding nature.

More than just a building, the clubhouse is a place of connection—between people, sport, and landscape. The architecture is guided by clarity and simplicity, using wood as an expression of both structure and mood. Subtle and sensual at once, the house accompanies the shared rhythms of tennis, social exchange, and the changing seasons.
