Following extremely successful Equestrian Events at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, Timothy Court & Company were approached to provide expert equine consultancy to a Greek consortium bidding to design and construct Athens Racetrack and 2004 Olympic Equestrian Centre.
With a design team of five firms of architects, each with their own team of services and structural consultants, four building companies and various specialist technical consultants, the job of reviewing, and coordinating both the design process and dissemination of information required a tight integration of project management and technology. Thus ensuring that both documentation and intent were conveyed using mediums appropriate to the technological ability of the recipients.

2000 racing stables
2000m sand racetrack
Six level Grandstand
300 Equestrian Stables
20000 seat showjumping arena
7000 seat Dressage arena
