Underwater Tennis Center

According to designer Krzysztof Kotala : “The complex consists of seven arenas, which are multifunctional character. It combines the function of a sports, recreation and exhibition. Underwater Arena in no way affects the natural ecological balance. The complex is built in the bay, where the Dubai Authorities reconstruct the coral reef. The construction will allow the full perception of the natural ecosystem. Underwater Arena fits into the natural environment because it resembles the coral reef. Object in its design structure is divided into three parts. Part dug into the seabed include tennis and the audience with background and the technical part. Deep part consists of two zones Lobby and Hall. The lobby is connected with the audience, and visitors can watch the depths of the sea around the object. The hall is designed to observe the reef located on the rooftop. By the carbon-glass glazing located above the tennis court visitors can also watch the reef. The water at this location is not deep and not too much weighted structure. The above-water portion of a structure resembles an atoll with characteristic shoal inside it. For the construction of the facility will be used modern technologies and materials environmentally neutral, i.e. .: nano-cement and carbon glass. The investment can bring economic benefits to Dubai. Organization of the Fifth Slam in Underwater Arena is likely to increase worldwide interest in Dubai, in terms of branding benefits and increase the tide of tourists. ”
