Dorottya Haz Gym

Budapest, Hungary - On site
Spring 2008

The gym consists of a series of vaulted interconnected rooms, intimate in their mood, and connected in style and feel to the apartments above. The inner, womb like core walls through which the stair descends will be smoothed out, in contrast to the outer walls and vaults, which are finished in rough cast render. The exercise spaces are designed around the springing point of the vaults, acting as a central spine, clad in back lit marble sheets. This spine will integrate lights, plasma screens, and mirrors.

The gym will be a jewel hidden in the Dorottya Haz foundations, where users feel they are in an extension of their home rather than in a commercial gym.
