Martha's Vineyard Residential Estate
A luxury residential tennis court installation designed to withstand the unique challenges of coastal New England. This custom court combines premium materials with environmental compliance to create the perfect playing surface for an estate setting.
Project Overview
The Martha's Vineyard Estate required a tennis court that could handle one of the most challenging environments in the Northeast: coastal salt air, humidity, and variable weather patterns. We designed and installed a comprehensive solution featuring a specially formulated marine-grade acrylic system that provides exceptional durability while maintaining optimal playing characteristics.
The court's location, perched on an elevated portion of the estate, presented unique drainage and environmental considerations. Our team conducted extensive site analysis to ensure proper water management, prevent pooling, and maintain the estate's environmental compliance with local wetland regulations.
Every aspect of this installation was tailored to the luxury residential context. From the aesthetic integration with the landscape to the material selection that would withstand salt spray and humidity without compromising play quality, this project represents the pinnacle of custom court construction.
