Fitness space of nondaily life
When creating ‘Residential’ where you spend a lot of time or ‘Café’ where you can take a rest, most people recognize the importance of interior and invest without any hesitation. Fitness space had previously been estimated that there is beautiful counter, open ceiling with rail lighting and clean shower facilities or not. However, fitness space has a dressing/shower facility that is more private than other spaces, and where users invest in themselves rather than cafes, so the quality of the space should be rather high. In real, users think interior is important thing when they exercise.
House in House
The main concept was how to divide the space with a high ceiling sized 60 py(198㎡). Space is divided into fitness room, office, shower/locker space especially fitness room divided into a private room, mat room, and reformer room. We had to find a way to make up for the coziness that wide-open spaces and stifling of dividing three different sports spaces with walls.
Our answer was dividing the private room to frame not wall and another area was partially covered and partially opened to control the sense of openness and closure of the space. Between mat room and reformer room, we made a tall wall and install indirect-lighting, and here are two house-shaped gable roofs. One is the main private room made with a steel frame, and the other is a semi-private room made low. Both have the same spatial impression, a different design method. This place did not divide installing the walls but changed the sense of space in the ceiling, and as a result, a 'house of concentration' was created.
RED & CIRCLE
The color of the overall space is white, but red (the representative color of this fitness studio) gave points to the entrance and the entrance of the locker room. Space was made to reflect the direction of the Pilates studio. The sign design was also designed with the CI circle as the motif, and the circular mirror in the dressing room and the circular sheet in front of the entrance are the same. Like this, from spatial design to CI, it is necessary to have the consistency of design and color like one package.
