Fitness club «Smena»

The fitness club “Smena” in the portfolio of the architectural studio za bor is the third project of this type and the first realized object of its kind. A private client who approached the studio with this project wanted to create a large fitness club with high-quality equipment and original design. When working on the project, the architects focused primarily on functional zoning. Overall, the fitness club is designed as a concise space that serves as a backdrop for dynamic broken volumes, symbolizing “movement” and “dynamics” as the quintessence of all types of sports and a healthy lifestyle. The functionality of various red zones involves placing changing rooms, coaching areas, and other separate spaces within them, as well as dividing zones based on noise levels: the two largest volumes house a “quiet” office block and a “noisy” indoor cycling room equipped with a powerful audio system playing rhythmic music constantly.
