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 fitness space for a club with an all-age audience. The only clear direction was simple: it had to be a non-black gym.
02
The user
Who the space needed to serve
The space needed to work for people across different age groups while fitting naturally into the wider club environment.
03
The constraint
What stood in the way
The existing electrical panel had to remain intact, the washrooms had to follow existing plumbing and the gym needed to connect visually with the green cricket ground and garden outside.
04
The move
What changed in the plan
We have moved away from the typical dark gym language and taken cues from nature, with wood, stone, limewash textures, PU stone, organic forms and natural light.
05
The result
What improved in use
The space developed a completely different identity from the typical dark gym, while connecting the interior with the natural surroundings of the club.
06
The learning
What we take forward
The project required us to work through thematic design and to solve a number of technical problems on site.
Zoning study
Plan before palette
Planning around what already exists
The design had to work with existing electrical and plumbing conditions while creating a natural connection between the gym and its surroundings.
