A former car garage transformed into a premium fitness space through smart zoning, ceilings and lighting.

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

Reuse of existing mirrors extended up to the walls. Different lighting and ceiling treatments were introduced for each zone. Sectional ceilings were used to control cost and speed up execution.

02

The user

Who the space needed to serve

The space needed to carry forward the experience of the previous gym while working at a much larger scale.

03

The constraint

What stood in the way

The space had previously been a car garage with a huge ceiling. The challenge was to make it feel premium rather than like a garage or warehouse-style gym, while working within a tight timeline.

04

The move

What changed in the plan

Existing mirrors were reused and extended across the walls. Different lighting and ceiling treatments were introduced for each zone, while sectional ceilings helped control cost and speed up execution.

05

The result

What improved in use

The design was able to turn an awkward, oversized shell into a more thoughtful environment for the gym while cleverly using existing elements.

06

The learning

What we take forward

The project showed us how existing elements, technical challenges and time constraints can become opportunities for creative problem-solving.

Making a large space feel intentional

The layout and ceiling strategy helped break down the oversized space into functional zones while keeping the design efficient to execute.
