"When
Gymming Meets Clubbing" is the design concept of this fitness center that
mainly targets at young customers. Mixing the essences of two common social
activities, fitness exercise and nightclub dance, to create a new psychological
and physical experience for different areas.
Starting
from the main entrance, guests begin to experience an abstract future space
from the real world. The design language of the entire fitness center was
defined by dynamic architectural envelopes and flowing fluorescent color
lights.
The
multi-angle mirror steel ceiling in the reception area provides guests with
different sight-line angles and reflects body shapes so that professional
fitness consultants can provide tailor-made fitness programs for them in the consultation
room.
The open
gym area is a charcoal grey space with multi-angle ceiling purple LED
flowing light, driving guests' posture and frequency to echo the background
music, allowing them to exercise more intensively.
The
slowly moving purple LED lights extend from different directions to the entire open
area, guiding guests into a private aerobics area.
Patterned
soundproof glass defines classrooms with different functions, the open area
and the private area are coherent, but with different levels of privacy.
The
indoor swimming pool area is a space created by the black painted glass immersed
with aqua blue lights. Ceiling LED lines slowly flow from one side of the pool
to the opposite side, allowing guests to follow the reflection in the water for
a linear swimming path, enhancing their attention to achieve the same effect of
training professional swimmers.
The changing
rooms are dominated by fluorescent yellow. After the guests’ exercise, they
transited from a professional exercise space of charcoal gray cool tone to space
for leisurely washing the body and mind.
Here guests can re-dress in the dressing room of backstage
and complete their entire sports experience. The changing room exit is a
fluorescent green channel resulted by blue and yellow overlapping. Guests
follow the dynamic and photosensitive lines connecting from the ceiling to the
ground and return to the real world.
We hope that this energetic and theatrical fitness space can
provide an experience for young customers to make them stage performers so that
they can get strong enhancement in shape, health, and ego.
