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.
