Exposed brickwork is celebrated and washed with light in order to give texture to the backdrop of featured MEP and drop custom steel mesh ceiling details. The space feels like an industrial gallery with purposefully placed machinery. The custom design light gives the right amount of light yet still keeping the space intimate. Changing rooms: Concrete floors and walls are dressed in floating lockers made of wood veneer and concealed LED giving the space a sense of lightness. The exposed MEP is accentuated with single strip LED lighting channels. While concealed MEP is partially closed with aluminium slated roof and square LED light fixture that perfectly fit between the slats. The male and female changing rooms are differentiated with sink details male has custom steel sinks while female has marble. Both are on a shelf of light that illuminates the back wall and the floor emphasising the inherent theme of floating. La Mere (Train Beach Club) a mixed-use facility. The repurposed beach club has been converted into four separate, distinctively related spaces with unique identities. A professional gym, restaurant, café-bar and nightclub. The challenge was to keep the space raw and industrial, showcasing and following the inherent existing architecture yet pushing the boundaries of detail. The choice of materials was based on the client brief (industrial chic), the challenge was to relate four spaces that typically do not mix. In this case the design follows the use of the same core material throughout. With design elements, ques and details simply modified with texture and material. A continued theme of floating light details is implemented by use of LED details from delta lights.
