This commercial space is envisioned as a dynamic sports venue that artfully combines two distinct forms of exercise: weight training and Pilates. In order to create an inviting environment for both male and female users, the design embraces a neutral aesthetic. Notably, the British style aligns beautifully with this vision, serving as a timeless classic that seamlessly merges the 鈥渟tiffness鈥 of weight training with the 鈥渟oftness鈥 of Pilates.
Furthermore, the venue鈥檚 prime location near Songshan Railway Station in Taipei, Taiwan capitalizes on abundant natural light, enhancing the overall ambiance. Drawing inspiration from the iconic underground systemin London, UK, the design transports visitors back in time to the elegant era of the London underground. Key design elements, such as rounded door frames and arched mirror walls, work in harmony with the carefully chosen Morandi green color palette to reinforce the core image of sophistication.
Moreover, the combination of warm wooden flooring and soft, inviting lighting, paired with sleek titanium-plated metal accents, creates a unique atmosphere that is both retro and contemporary. Overall, this innovative sports arena not only exudes classical charm but also promises an engaging and inspiring environment for all who enter.鈥
The venue impressively features a striking white cast iron trellis that gracefully spans the two side walls and ceiling, evoking a serene atmosphere reminiscent of a park near the subway. As visitors enter, they are enveloped in a sense of comfort and relaxation that invites them to unwind. Transitioning to the Pilates training area, one will notice the design of a faux cast iron dome that elegantly stretches across the entire space, creating a cohesive and inviting visual experience. The carefully chosen palette of Morandi green and ivory sets a sophisticated tone, intertwining classical elegance with modern design elements.Moreover, the arch-shaped sliding doors and the full-length mirrors, both designed with matching curves, juxtapose beautifully to create a captivating contrast between emptiness and solidity, enriching the overall aesthetic. In addition to these features, the weight training area is meticulously arranged to highlight the essence of strength and resilience.
