Renovation of an existing urban fitness center. Located in a below-grade space void of any natural light, the original fitness center had been built out with little consideration for quality of space and environment. The client's request was simple: inject visual energy into the space on a fairly tight budget and schedule. The design response uses different colors of paint to visually break up lengthy perimeter walls and create the energy along the jogging track. Patterned wall covering in the machine area and creative striping in the aerobics room contribute to a refreshed space filled with kinetic movement and excitement.
