The High-Performance Centre is designed to address the multifaceted needs of the CSK cricket team, encompassing training, accommodation, and public relations. At its core is a 91-meter-diameter pitch that serves as the centerpiece, organizing and anchoring the surrounding programs. This central element reflects tVhe essence of the team’s identity and purpose.
The building’s narrow massing is wrapped in a fluid, sinuous skin that elegantly integrates the staggered volumes of the structure. This cohesive design not only unifies the diverse programs but also fosters a sense of energy and motion, resonating with the dynamic nature of cricket.
The architectural language of the Centre draws inspiration from the sport itself, creating a space that is both functional and evocative. It ties together all aspects of the facility, offering an inspiring and unified environment that reflects the vitality and ambition of the team.
