The 2500-square-foot facility was precisely designed to fulfill the client’s needs while keeping a sense of openness. The central challenge was to accommodate diverse amenities within a limited square foot space efficiently. This included two dedicated barre studios, a reception area with a waiting lounge, separate gender-specific locker rooms, a shared restroom, a six-person office space, a pantry, and a lunch area.
As you enter the area, the preponderance of white immediately establishes a peaceful tone, producing a sense of calm and focus. Black accents are deliberately placed throughout the inside, providing a visually dramatic contrast that improves the aesthetic appeal and reflects the accuracy and strength essential in barre workouts. The carefully chosen pastels in the locker room complement the brand’s color scheme, adding a delicate touch of warmth and refinement. The two barre studios are the core of the fitness center, where form and function blend perfectly. A small retail unit enables customers to discover handpicked fitness basics, while an adjacent office serves as an administrative hub.
The locker rooms and restrooms are thoughtfully designed spaces that prioritize functionality and aesthetics, providing patrons with a moment of respite and rejuvenation.
Natural light permeates the workspace, resulting in a well-lit setting that boosts productivity and encourages a cheerful ambiance. The result is a workplace that adheres to wellness principles, catering to the well-being of both customers and employees.
Welcome to a sanctuary where architecture combines health and design meets exercise – a haven on Vittal Mallya Road where you can experience pure fitness.
