DESCRIPTION: The Space is designed using forms and materials shaped by inspiration from the human body muscles. There is a mix of new elements with new products made from synthetic resin and porcelain. Light fixtures are used as an organizational element. The repetitive placement of lighting creates a strong rhythm on the buildings interior. My objective was met through an innovative new design containing voids to allow light through building and to maximise the height and area of the climbing space. A new spatial plan was implemented with a goal to enhance gym layout and improve circulation for its users. Overall i wanted to facilitate for all the needs of people who are or wish to be healthy and athletic and to incorporate as many different types of sports into one facility. To create an original, eccentric fitness centre design where the clients can feel in control of their workout and motivated by the environmental design. including a Spin studio, pole fitness studio with event seating for competitions that can be transformed into a private lecture and event area, Boot camp area's with boxing rink, climbing wall, swimming pool & locker rooms, spa facility, juice bar, reception and administration areas. Im inspired by organic forms, and usually look to the human body and its organs for inspiration and transform it into a colorful paradise for the senses. Zaha Hadid, Karim Rashid and Simone Micheli motivate and inspire me to be different, and encourage my quirky design ability.
