Applications range from premium viewing platforms and hospitality lounges to fan engagement centers, merchandise stores, sponsor activation spaces, and media operations.

Available with tempered glass, insulated coated glass, aluminum panels, and sandwich panels, KENTEN Double-deck Structure can be tailored to different event standards, climates, and branding requirements. Combining modular engineering, architectural flexibility, rapid deployment, and long-term reusability, it provides a scalable infrastructure solution for Formula 1 Grand Prix events, golf championships, football tournaments, motorsport festivals, and other major sporting occasions.

Global Sports Events Are Evolving Beyond Traditional Venue Infrastructure

The business model of modern sports events has changed dramatically.

For decades, event infrastructure focused primarily on accommodating spectators. Temporary seating, hospitality tents, and operational facilities were often considered supporting elements rather than strategic assets.

Today, however, the success of a sporting event depends on much more than attendance figures.

Organizers are expected to deliver premium guest experiences, maximize sponsor exposure, create fan engagement opportunities, generate retail revenue, and provide efficient operational environments—all within limited venue footprints and compressed event schedules.

As a result, the infrastructure surrounding an event has become increasingly important.

Whether hosting a Formula 1 Grand Prix, an international golf championship, a football tournament, or a equestrian festival, organizers face a common challenge:

How can more functions be integrated into a venue without consuming more land?

The answer is vertical expansion.

KENTEN Double-deck Structure addresses this challenge through a modular two-level architectural system that increases usable space, improves operational efficiency, and enhances the overall event experience without requiring permanent construction.

Rather than functioning as a temporary building for a single purpose, it serves as a flexible event infrastructure platform capable of supporting multiple commercial and operational objectives simultaneously.

Why Sports Events Are Moving Toward Vertical Infrastructure

Venue space is becoming increasingly valuable.

Trackside locations, tournament entrances, fan villages, hospitality zones, and sponsor activation areas all compete for the most visible and commercially attractive positions within a venue.

Expanding horizontally is often restricted by site limitations, circulation requirements, or existing infrastructure.

Vertical development provides a practical solution.

By introducing a second level, organizers can significantly increase usable floor area while maintaining the same footprint.

More importantly, vertical organization allows different functions to operate independently while remaining connected within the same structure.

For example, the ground floor may accommodate:

• Reception and accreditation
• Merchandise and retail sales
• Catering preparation
• Storage and logistics
• Event operations

Meanwhile, the upper level can be dedicated to:

• Viewing lounges
• Hospitality spaces
• Sponsor receptions
• Executive networking areas
• Media observation platforms

This separation enhances operational efficiency while creating a more refined visitor experience.

The result is not simply additional space—it is a more intelligent use of space.

One Structure, Multiple Event Functions

One of the greatest advantages of KENTEN Double-deck Structure is its ability to support multiple event objectives within a single building system.

Premium Viewing Platforms

In sports environments, visibility directly influences visitor satisfaction.

Elevated viewing areas provide unobstructed sightlines across race tracks, golf courses, football fields, equestrian arenas, and outdoor competition venues.

The second level creates panoramic viewing opportunities while allowing guests to enjoy both indoor comfort and outdoor immersion.

For premium ticket holders and corporate guests, the quality of the viewing experience often becomes a defining element of the event itself.

Hospitality and Corporate Hosting

Sports hospitality has evolved into a significant revenue stream for event organizers.

Corporate sponsors, business partners, and VIP guests increasingly expect professional environments that support networking, dining, and relationship-building activities.

KENTEN Double-deck Structure can accommodate:

• Hospitality lounges
• Corporate suites
• VIP reception areas
• Executive dining spaces
• Sponsor hosting environments

By combining event access with premium hospitality, organizers can create experiences that generate long-term commercial value.

Fan Engagement and Experience Centers

Modern sporting events are no longer passive experiences.

Fans want opportunities to interact with teams, sponsors, brands, and event content.

KENTEN Double-deck Structure can be configured as:

• Fan clubs
• Interactive experience zones
• Gaming centers
• Brand activation spaces
• Entertainment pavilions

These environments help increase visitor engagement while extending the time guests spend within the venue.

Merchandise and Retail Facilities

Retail has become an important contributor to event revenue.

Temporary merchandise stores, official gift shops, and branded retail environments benefit from high visibility and convenient access.

The modular nature of KENTEN Double-deck Structure enables organizers to integrate retail functions without requiring permanent construction or extensive site modifications.

Media and Operations Centers

Beyond guest-facing applications, the same KENTEN Double-deck Structure can support operational functions such as:

• Broadcast support
• Press centers
• Accreditation offices
• Event management facilities
• Technical operations rooms

This flexibility allows organizers to consolidate multiple venue requirements within a single modular system.

Customizable Facade Systems for Different Event Standards

The exterior appearance of an event building influences both visitor perception and sponsor value.

Unlike conventional temporary structures with limited enclosure options, KENTEN Double-deck Structure offers multiple facade systems that can be selected according to event requirements, climate conditions, branding strategies, and budget objectives.

Tempered Glass Facade

Tempered glass is one of the most versatile solutions for sports event applications.

Its transparency creates a strong visual connection between interior activities and the surrounding event environment.

This makes it particularly suitable for:

• Viewing lounges
• Fan clubs
• Sponsor spaces
• Merchandise stores
• Public hospitality areas

The facade allows natural daylight to enter the building while delivering a modern architectural appearance that enhances the overall venue image.

Low-E Insulated Coated Glass for Premium Hospitality

High-profile events such as Formula 1 Grand Prix weekends often require a more advanced environmental solution.

Low-E insulated coated glass improves:

• Thermal insulation
• Solar heat control
• Acoustic comfort
• Indoor climate stability

For premium hospitality environments, executive lounges, and high-end sponsor facilities, this system helps create an experience comparable to permanent commercial architecture.

The result is a more comfortable and energy-efficient environment for guests while maintaining the premium appearance expected at world-class sporting events.

Aluminum Panels

When branding visibility and contemporary design are priorities, aluminum panels provide an effective solution.

Their clean surfaces support:

• Large-format graphics
• Sponsor branding
• Event identity displays
• Customized architectural finishes

They also offer excellent durability and a highly professional appearance.

Sandwich Panels

Some event facilities require greater privacy and environmental control than transparent facades can provide.

For these applications, sandwich panels deliver:

• Improved thermal performance
• Enhanced enclosure
• Operational efficiency
• Cost-effective construction
