Pilates is an excercise focused on muscle control, which emphasizes the concentrated, core, and precise training of management and breathing. In addition to the high concentration required to students, the controllability of the external environment is also an important factor that can help the trainees enter the state. The concept of this design is introverted and rational. Besides paying attention to the user's comfort, the controllable environmental factors in the training process are the highlight.
Follow the essentials of the excercise, all facades are made of wood in different forms, and the part of the shape keeps the arc, which minimizes the visual stimulation. There are many laydown postures in Pilates, so lighting design avoids the form of direct illumination to ensure the smoothness of the training process.
Due to the particularity of Pilates, the controllability of light needs to be more precise. Therefore, we deliberately leave fewer windows in the training classroom, which is mainly illuminated by indoor light. In order to prevent the studio from appearing dull, grilles are implemented on facades to increase the sense of layer and flow. The visual expression balance both dynamic and static status, which provides a better training environment for each student.
