The design of Movewell Pilates Studio centers on the wabi-sabi aesthetic, emphasizing the beauty of nature, asymmetry, and simplicity. The overall color scheme features natural, soft tones, complemented by curved design elements to create a fluid and elegant ambiance. Highlighted by skillful lighting design, the space uses curved glass for added transparency and layered visual effects. Eco-friendly materials enhance modernity, functionality, and comfort, aligning with sustainability standards.
Dividing functional areas within 73 square meters was challenging. Through extensive client communication and design iterations, we achieved an optimal layout ensuring independent yet interconnected functional areas. Ergonomics were prioritized for comfort and usability. The lighting design and curved glass enhanced visual depth, making the space appear larger. We preserved original classical staircase columns, harmonizing them with the new design through color changes, maintaining structural integrity and spatial harmony.
The design significantly improved aesthetics and comfort, incorporating smart technologies for convenience. The client appreciated the visual effects created by the lighting and curved glass, which expanded the perceived space. The color scheme of orange and lavender on the first floor and misty gray and feature walls on the second floor added layers and beauty. Herringbone-patterned plastic flooring and art paint controlled costs while enhancing the space's texture and atmosphere. Intelligent design ensured functional requirements were met while adding unique value and market competitiveness. The integration of original elements with modern design highlighted the studio's charm and sophistication, creating a welcoming environment that balanced aesthetic appeal, functional efficiency, and sustainability.
