An exercise space reinterpreted with the idea of ‘zen’ When we think of an exercise space, we always think of physical training or I think about diet, or the physical aspect of building a body. But true health comes through mental discipline. By meeting the 'true me', which is the fundamental meaning of goodness, Realizing the truth and the Way and understanding the essence of the universe and nature. 

The concept that this is the beginning of creating a beautiful body It is a space that has been introduced and created. A small stone on the wall of the entrance is an island, and a rough wall It means sand that has been with the earth for a long time. Around it, circular waves represent the permanence of still time. is inherent Long flowing waves at the entrance From the outside to the inside, the endless cycle I tried to express the principle of the universe and the idea of reincarnation.

Pilates and yoga are western and eastern sports. Through mental practice and meditation, our Starting with the common concept of healing the body and mind Expressed design gives us a sense of understated simplicity. We end the story with the hope that this will be a new zen-style space.
