Step1: Problem-Solving
We restructured existing spaces to accommodate new wellness trends and upgraded infrastructure. Without altering the club’s core identity, we introduced zones for yoga, cardio, and hydrotherapy—each designed with modern materials and efficient layouts. Enhanced circulation and lighting ensured the revitalized environment remains both historically rooted and future-ready.
Step 2: Planning
Zones for gym, lounge, dining, and indoor sports were redefined for better member experience. Each area was spatially optimized for comfort, access, and engagement—ensuring seamless transitions between wellness, recreation, and social interaction, all while preserving the club’s timeless character and sense of community.
Step 3: Design
We used earthy tones, terrazzo floors, glass partitions, and breathable ceilings to create an open-yet-intimate ambiance. The material palette reinforces warmth and sophistication, while the spatial transparency fosters a sense of connection—honoring the club’s legacy with a design language that feels both contemporary and welcoming.
