Distinctive design with sustainable seamless flooring
Studio Anatomy, a recently completed reformer Pilates studio in London Fields, Hackney, envisioned an interior that seamlessly integrates Sensoflooring to create a tranquil and sustainable environment for its clientele. Collaborating with DEDRAFT, the goal was to design an open-plan, sun-soaked space with ample natural light, ensuring a distinct and uplifting experience for users while setting the studio apart from competitors.
The key challenge was to eliminate the feeling of the studio being located in what had previously been a dilapidated first-floor commercial unit. To achieve the desired vision whilst working closely with the client and their well-considered brief we designed a series of three spaces - a light, airy reception in which to welcome clients, a semi- private stripped-back but luxurious changing space and a large, naturally-lit studio.
A consistent palette of materials was utilised to maintain simplicity consisting of three core finishes - lime plaster, poured resin floor, and warm bespoke oak joinery. The use of punched arches, without doors gives a continuum and framed visual connections between the spaces of the studio making for an intuitive and usee friendly space. The rich oak joinery recesses throughout complement the finishes, adding warnth to the light, pared-back interior. The reception and changing rooms feature draped fabrics that form a backdrop to freestanding furniture and elements that create a soft and luxurious atmosphere.
The power of unity
A consistent palette of materials was chosen, including lime plaster, poured Sensoflooring, and warm bespoke oak joinery, ensuring a seamless and sustainable design. The absence of doors and the use of punched arches facilitated a continuous and visually connected flow between studio spaces, creating an intuitive and user-friendly environment. Rich oak joinery recesses, complementing the Sensofloors, added warmth to the light, pared-back interior. Draped fabrics in the reception and changing rooms served as a backdrop to freestanding furniture, contributing to a soft and luxurious atmosphere.
