The case study

Six decisions from shell to opening

The project is shown in the same order it was solved — beginning with the business brief and ending with what the studio carried forward

01

The brief

What needed to be built

The client wanted a premium space that could raise the standard of the gym and strengthen the brand experience.

02

The user

Who the space needed to serve

The space needed to support both cardio and studio training while creating areas that people would naturally want to photograph and share.

03

The constraint

What stood in the way

The gym was in a basement with almost no natural light. Existing washroom and plumbing conditions in a multi-storey building also created several restrictions.

04

The move

What changed in the plan

The space has been designed to bring the available natural light toward the cardio and studio zones using light walls and flooring to maximize it. Recognizable design elements were also added to create content friendly spots without relying directly on logos.

05

The result

What improved in use

The space combined premium positioning with a stronger visual identity, creating recognisable areas that could translate into social media content.

06

The learning

What we take forward

The project showed us how careful planning and bringing the right consultants on board can simplify a complicated site.
