Inside the project

Reshape Prime came with a clear visual direction but a moving brief. The equipment list kept changing and the design had to be completed quickly, making flexibility just as important as the final aesthetic.

Simple, elegant, powerful

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 simple gym aesthetic with an all-black interior and a strong focus on lighting. The design needed to feel powerful without becoming unnecessarily complicated.

02

The user

Who the space needed to serve

The space needed to accommodate the required equipment while maintaining the focused atmosphere the client wanted. The design had to make the gym feel intentional even as the equipment requirements continued to change.

03

The constraint

What stood in the way

The number of equipment pieces and the available space did not initially align, and the equipment list continued to change during the process. The studio also had only 15 to 20 days to complete the design.

04

The move

What changed in the plan

Instead of trying to resolve the entire space at once, we worked zone by zone. This allowed the changing equipment requirements to be accommodated while keeping the overall design simple, elegant and cohesive.

05

The result

What improved in use

The final approach created a powerful training environment without adding unnecessary visual elements. The zoning helped accommodate the requirements while maintaining the simplicity of the original brief.

06

The learning

What we take forward

This project reinforced how useful a clear design system can be when the brief keeps moving. Breaking the gym into zones allowed us to stay flexible without losing the larger design direction.
