Rooftop Padel Club in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Creating a High-Quality Rooftop Padel Sports Space in Downtown Kuala Lumpur
This project, named The Rally Padel Club, is located on the rooftop of Quill City Mall (Rooftop 1, 8th Floor) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Situated in the heart of the city's commercial district, its unique location offers excellent visibility and foot traffic, but also places higher demands on the construction of the sports field.
UNIPADEL successfully installed three fully enclosed, super-panoramic padel courts with dark green turf. The exterior combines transparent glass with a dark metal structure, transforming the rooftop space into a modern urban sports arena.
Three key highlights include:
- Super Panorama Design: Unobstructed views and an unparalleled viewing experience
- Fully Enclosed Structure: Insulates against wind and rain, improving the lifespan and stability of the court
- Professional-Grade Lighting System: Maintains international-standard lighting even at night
This project brings a new urban vibrancy to Kuala Lumpur, combining sports, social interaction, and entertainment.
Client Challenges: Multiple Constraints of Urban Rooftop Construction
Before the project commenced, the client raised several key challenges, requesting UNIPADEL to provide complete solutions:
1. High Requirements for Roof Load-Bearing Capacity and Structural Safety
The rooftops of urban commercial centers have limited load-bearing capacity, necessitating weight reduction for equipment while ensuring structural stability.
2. Court Durability in High Temperatures and Rainy Climates
Malaysia experiences year-round high humidity and frequent rainfall, causing ordinary court materials to age or degrade in a short period.
3. A Balance of Visual Sophistication and Excellent Sports Experience
The client desired to create "the most sophisticated Padel court in the city center," thus demanding extremely high standards for the exterior design, lighting effects, and turf quality.
4. The Need for Player-Friendly Service Spaces (Rehabilitation Area + Dining Area)
Beyond the court itself, the client desired to create a complete sports ecosystem, including:
- A recovery area with ice baths and saunas
- A dining area for rest, socializing, and recharging.
UNIPADEL Solutions: Rooftop Structural Safety + High-End Design
1. Custom-Designed Rooftop Court Structure
UNIPADEL has specifically optimized the structure to address roof load-bearing issues:

- Employs scientific reinforcement methods to ensure stability and durability
- Selects safety-certified glass panels to guarantee both strength and light transmission
Ultimately, the court is both stable and does not place an excessive load on the roof.
2. Fully Enclosed Weatherproof System, Year-Round Playability
Addressing Malaysia's frequent rainy season and humid climate, we utilize:
- A fully enclosed glass + metal mesh wall structure
- Highly weather-resistant dark green artificial turf
- A drainage-optimized surface design
Not only is it moisture- and heat-resistant, reducing maintenance costs, but it also ensures normal operation even during the rainy season.
