# Extreme Sport Courts Laurent Perbos Creates Unusual Tennis Court Locations By Rachel | Published 2009-08-17 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laurent-perbos-tennis-court References: [toxel](http://www.toxel.com/inspiration/2009/08/14/extreme-tennis-court-locations/) & [documentsdartistes.org](http://documentsdartistes.org/artistes/perbos/repro1.html) Laurent Perbos has taken the usually tame sport of tennis and put it in some odd (and sometimes hazardous) locations. From a [floating tennis court](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aan-architects) to one that is half on stairs, the goal of the [tennis court designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lacostes-activations) by Laurent Perbos is to place tennis courts where they would not regularly be found. These [creative art instillations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladder-series) are definitely worth taking a look at, though I think I may break something falling down stairs if I played on them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Unusual Sports Locations:** Creating sports locations in unusual and unexpected spaces. - **Art Installations in Sports:** Incorporating art into sports activities and venues. - **Extreme Sports Designs:** Designing sports facilities with an extreme twist. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Sports:** Innovative athletes or sports organizations that want to elevate their game and fan experience. - **Art:** Artists or art institutions that want to explore different mediums and incorporate sports in their work. - **Architecture and Design:** Designers or architects that create unique and nontraditional spaces that incorporate sports. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floating Recycled Tennis Courts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parley-and-adidas.md) - [Floating Sustainable Padel Courts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-padel-court.md) - [Modern Tennis-Inspired Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/common-grounds-coffee-roaster.md) - [Celebrative Tennis Courts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novak-djokovic-court.md) - [Reflective Ping-Pong Parlour Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/match-point-installation.md) - [Flood-Smart Basketball Courts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-collective.md) - [Eye-Catching Basketball Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basketball-park.md) - [Artful Table Tennis Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nedj-ping-pong-tables.md) - [Experimental Sporty Coffee shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/common-grounds-terra-cafe.md)
