Architects have been keeping close cooperation with structural engineers from the very beginning. A steel framed mezzanine is added in the 5-meter high space without using any columns. Steel plates are welded together to form the floor of the mezzanine, while 10 pieces of stiffened girder are arranged underneath the floor. The section of the stiffened girders narrowed down from center to the sides according to force calculations, and folded upward to hinge with the H-beams on the ceiling. The edge of the floor is a steel sheet with a layer of mat, which is fully exposed to the public. The hanging structure of the mezzanine set free the whole space of the first floor for training.
The space of the first floor is divided into two parts by the folding doors. The inner part is a pure black space. By using UV lamps , LED lamps and digital control, the space turned out to be as dynamic as a nightclub. Based on calculating, punching bags are hanged beneath the floor of the mezzanine which create a passionate atmosphere.
The first floor is public training area while the mezzanine floor is the private training area.
