Spanning levels 2 to 4 of an apartment tower in Beijing, China, the gym had technical infrastructure to deal with. Bulky shafts blocked the floor area. The third and fourth floors had no internal connection and the views from the fourth floor were undesirable.
Our team overcame these obstacles. The shafts were wrapped in mirrors making them disappear into the space and reflect the outside greenery, giving a more open appearance. A metal staircase was installed to connect the third and fourth floors, integrated between the indoor swimming pool and training area.
To create a more picturesque scene on the fourth floor, a semi-transparent “Granny Smith” green metal fence was added. This type of design is seen in other facilities in dense, tight city spaces like New York.
We used three main colors - pale pink, “Granny Smith” green and warm chocolate gold - overlaid in a gray atmosphere. Each color has a special function and material.
Pale pink represents femininity, appearing as metal curtains to highlight reception and lounge areas. “Granny Smith” green was utilized in an elevated metal fence wrapped around the majority of the training areas in level 4 and the staircase connecting levels 3 and 4.
Warm chocolate gold was used in creating a semi-transparent metal tube wall, offering privacy to the swimming pool. The same color tone was used for signage and branding throughout the facility.
