Ping Pang Sports Space, a 250 m² facility designed by A’IDA in Paris, introduces an interactive and accessible environment dedicated entirely to table tennis. Distributed across two floors, the venue includes four ping-pong tables integrated with video systems that allow players to replay highlights of their matches. A self-service café/bar offers a space for socializing post-game. The facility incorporates surveillance and controlled access, enabling members to use the space at any time. On competition days, a dedicated spectator path ensures fluid movement between tables. Ping Pang Sports Space merges recreational play with digital interaction and brand identity, creating a unique destination for ping-pong enthusiasts.

The project consists of developing a new 250 m² sports space across two floors, fully dedicated to ping-pong, located in the center of Paris. This purpose-built venue features four ping-pong tables equipped with interactive video systems that allow players to replay key moments from their rallies. A café and bar with an autonomous service system offers visitors a place to unwind and socialize after their matches.

The site also includes a showroom that displays the brand’s personalized products, such as clothing and sports equipment. To maintain safety and ensure accessibility, the facility is equipped with a surveillance and access control system, allowing club members to enter the space at any time.

On competition days, a designated path is arranged for spectators, allowing them to move freely between tables and watch the matches in progress. The project aims to create a dynamic, interactive, and welcoming environment that provides a distinctive experience for all ping-pong enthusiasts.
