Designed as a serene extension of the gym, this indoor pool area blends wellness, architecture, and atmosphere.
A dramatic glass skylight opens the space to shifting skies and surrounding trees, flooding the dark interior with natural light and soft reflections.
Sleek stone surfaces, vertical wall cladding, and concealed spotlights create a calm, sophisticated mood, while the long pool forms a striking central axis. Minimal stainless steel showers and sculptural black loungers reinforce the refined, spa character.
The deep teal water adds warmth and depth against the charcoal palette, making the room feel both intimate and expansive. It is a place for swimming, recovery, and quiet pause after training, where fitness meets relaxation in a luxurious, contemporary setting with effortless visual drama.

This gym area presents a bold, cinematic fitness environment defined by matte black surfaces, raw concrete textures, and precise linear lighting.
The double height layout gives the space a dramatic architectural presence, with a mezzanine training zone overlooking the running track below.
Slim warm LED strips emphasize the ceiling planes, stair edges, and platform levels, adding depth and movement without softening the industrial character. Black timber flooring, glass balustrades, and exposed structural elements create a refined yet powerful atmosphere.
The equipment is arranged with clear circulation, from treadmills and boxing to sled training and wall-mounted storage. Overall, the space feels exclusive, disciplined, and high performance, blending luxury hospitality aesthetics with an intense urban training experience for serious fitness users and elite athletes.

This staircase is conceived as a sculptural divider within the gym, separating the functional training area from the weight lifting zone while maintaining visual continuity.
Its bold black structure, clean geometry, and concrete textured finish reflect the strength and discipline of the space. Positioned as a central architectural element, it guides movement between levels and creates a clear transition from open performance zones to heavier training areas.
The slim metal handrails and integrated linear lighting add precision, rhythm, and safety without interrupting the minimalist aesthetic.
More than circulation, the staircase becomes a visual anchor, organizing the gym layout and enhancing the industrial, high performance atmosphere with a refined sense of depth and direction.

The gym and pool areas are defined by a restrained, atmospheric material palette that balances strength with quiet luxury.
Charcoal concrete, blackened timber, and textured stone create a deep architectural base, while matte black metal details add precision and durability.
Ribbed wall panels introduce rhythm and acoustic softness, contrasting with smooth polished surfaces around the pool. Smoked glass and dark reflective finishes bring depth without interrupting the minimalist character. In the pool zone, the water adds a subtle teal tone, softening the darker materials and creating a calm, spa-like mood.
Together, the palette feels powerful, refined, and immersive, supporting both high performance training and restorative relaxation within a cohesive wellness environment.
