The main concept is “Bright & Alive”. The design emphasizes using bright colors to create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Bright colors are added to create an interesting and fun mood, which encourages users to feel energetic, lively, and give power in exercising.

For the exterior, since the main entrance must be accessed on the 2nd floor and the front space on both the 1st and 2nd floors is quite enclosed, regarding the owner’s purpose on users’ privacy, thus the problem is solved by using graphics decoration to create interaction with people outside.

In the main space on the first floor, the area was adjusted by demolishing the room at the center to create more open area and designed as a double volume space to create a connection between the first and second floor area, which is the reception and relaxation area, to see the activities below. The central area is decorated with a colorful steel grid structure that can support various exercise functions such as pull up or hanging equipment for stretching. The ceiling design is decorated with square panel lights that are related to the floor pattern. The surrounding area is designed with lines on the floor that resemble a running track, to be used as a warm-up area before exercising.

In the weight training and cardio zones on the other side has a relatively low ceiling. The problem was solved by using bright colors and creating an open space to make the space not feel cramped. The activity room is decorated with brightly colored corrugated frosted glass to make it semi-private which is still able to see the movement in the room from outside. The bathroom and lockers still emphasize bright color tones with addition of light wood tones to make it look clean and comfortable to create a relaxing atmosphere.
