Architecture studio Archohm has unveiled The Shuttle badminton academy in Bhubaneswar, India, which was designed to look like a shuttlecock.

Located near Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar, the venue was designed to draw attention to both the city and wider state of Odisha's focus on badminton.

Archohm designed the badminton centre with a bowl-shape form that resembles the cork head of a shuttlecock, while at night a series of lights evoke the feathers.
