A glass-walled fitness floor that treats the equipment like furniture.
Most gyms are fitted out after the design services stop mattering. This one runs the cardio row along a full glass frontage facing the marina, so the view — not a wall of screens — is what a member trains toward.
Warm timber slatting and polished concrete replace the usual rubber-and-mirror finish, and a sculptural run of plaster arches breaks the functional-training zone away from the machines without a single stud wall. Branding is set into the floor rather than the walls, so the room reads as considered architecture first.
Zoning follows use rather than habit: cardio at the window, strength and free weights along the timber wall, and a stretch and recovery corner tucked behind the entry sequence, lit noticeably lower than the rest of the floor.
