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 already had a gym and wanted to create a newer, better and bigger version of it, with a fitness arena where people could perform.

02

The user

Who the space needed to serve

The space needed to support members at a much larger scale while creating the feeling of a spacious fitness arena.

03

The constraint

What stood in the way

The project was large in scale and had to be designed remotely from Delhi while working with an execution team in Rajkot.

04

The move

What changed in the plan

We used the large floor area and volume to create a sense of vastness. Instead of visually dividing the gym with partitions, the few partitions used were carefully designed to allow light flow while supporting different music and HVAC requirements.

05

The result

What improved in use

Constant coordination and clear drawings helped translate the design remotely, resulting in a space that matched the original design vision.

06

The learning

What we take forward

The project taught us the importance of better communication systems and drawings that work as clear tools between the design and execution teams.

Plan before palette

Making scale work for the space

The planning used the large floor area and volume to create openness while keeping functional requirements for each zone in place.
