3x3 Project BriefPLAY + SOCIAL + HOSPITALITY
For commercial social-play venues, bars, hospitality projects, resorts and mixed-use recreation precincts where basketball is one part of the customer experience. Apollo structures the sports package around the operating model, then coordinates the court with lighting, containment, seating, technology, weather protection and the interfaces around hospitality and spectator space.
BEST FIT
Global supply-only project pathway. Local civil works, installation and approvals remain destination-specific unless expressly included.
PLAYING SURFACE
Use ATHREN C3 where competition-led 3x3 matters, ATHREN CT for durable recreation and high-turnover social play, or ATHREN BC where the playing surface needs a more architectural timber-look presentation.

COMMERCIAL VENUE MODELS
One or more 3x3 courts connected to a bar, casual dining or social-lounge environment. Court visibility, spectator flow, lighting and noise interfaces are planned from the beginning.
A basketball-led social venue built around bookable courts, leagues, coaching, casual sessions and shared social space.
A premium recreation court for resorts, hotels, branded residences and destination hospitality where the court is part of the guest experience and landscape.
A commercial academy or training centre with dedicated 3x3 courts, coaching zones and the option to move into organised competition.
A public-facing court precinct that can support community use, programmed sessions and selected events without becoming an elite-only facility.
Portable or semi-permanent courts for branded events, fan zones, touring competitions and temporary venue conversions.
Two or more courts sharing lighting, containment, spectators, scoring, storage and hospitality infrastructure around one operating plan.
COMPLETE VENUE BOARD
Use this board to separate the sport package from hospitality fit-out and local project works while still planning the interfaces together.
ATHREN surface + basketball equipment pathway
Fencing / barrier / gate systems
Player seating + selected court operations equipment
Seating / bleacher / grandstand pathway
Apollo coordinates the physical interface; hospitality fit-out remains project-specific
3x3 equipment + sports technology pathways
Shade / covered sport / air-dome pathways where appropriate
Product storage requirements coordinated; venue operations remain client-side
COMMERCIAL 3x3 ARCHITECTURE
The court is the anchor. Commercial value comes from how play, spectators, hospitality, technology, weather protection and daily operations are connected around it.
ATHREN surface, basketball equipment, timing, scoring and sport-specific safety interfaces form the playing core.
Explore systemBenches, bleachers, standing zones, circulation and sightlines are planned so spectators remain connected to play without blocking court operations.
Explore systemThe court package is planned around the hospitality edge, queueing, seating and guest circulation. Commercial kitchen, bar fit-out and licensing remain project-specific.
3x3 timing, scoring, sports cameras and selected display / venue-media pathways can be coordinated around the operating model.
Explore systemCourt and social-zone lighting are separated but coordinated around glare, atmosphere, operating hours and neighbouring uses.
Explore systemFencing, gates, barriers and player transitions control balls, customers and service circulation around the court bank.
Explore systemShade, membrane, air-dome or clear-span structure pathways can extend usable hours where climate and venue economics justify cover.
Explore systemBall management, cleaning, equipment storage, player waiting and event changeover are built into the facility logic instead of added later.
Explore systemCOMMERCIAL PACKAGE PATHWAYS
These are planning pathways rather than fixed kits. Surface, equipment and infrastructure remain project-specific.
A compact destination court with strong spectator visibility and a direct social / hospitality edge.
A bookable social basketball venue supporting leagues, casual play, coaching and shared hospitality.
A larger venue with a central social spine, court-to-court visibility and event capability.
A design-led recreation amenity where the court is part of the guest landscape and experience.
Portable or semi-permanent court supply for fan zones, branded activations and touring events.
GROWTH PATH
A commercial venue should not need to restart its infrastructure logic every time another court or social zone is added.
Prove the operating model with a focused court, strong viewing edge and simple social zone.
Move to two courts, shared circulation, central storage and more structured league or booking operations.
Add spectator seating, lounge / bar interface, media screens, event visibility and longer dwell time.
Expand to three or more courts with shared infrastructure, event capability and future covered-play pathways.
KNOTTR COMMERCIAL · VISUAL DIRECTION
The commercial venue is more than court geometry. These images show the wider direction across play, spectators, lighting, circulation and covered operation.
WHAT WE NEED
The more of these are resolved at the beginning, the less rework is needed when the exact surface, equipment and freight package are selected.
