INFLUENCERS

When Engine for Future Ideation (EFI) started designing a unique fitness and Pilates studio, they wanted to challenge the usual ideas of what a fitness center should be. They questioned why gyms should have harsh, jarring interiors that feel more like a chore than a relaxing place. The studio illustrates a neutral colour tone with a bold red shade creating a vibrant contrast resulting in a minimalistic interior style.

Concept

Situated in DLF phase 1, this 2000 sqft studio of calmness and functionality defines the thoughtful eco-friendly choices designed by Engine for Future Ideation (EFI) with bespoke interior designing elements such as arches, hand-painted murals and strategically placing LED lights in different places to make it work efficiently. Each element and details are designed to create a curated experience for both physical and mental well-being.

Shades and Tones

The design features a neutral-tone Bohemian theme with Rust accents as our pop colour. This colour palette creates a warm and inviting atmosphere while fostering a sense of calm and focus. The studio blends natural materials and artisanal craftsmanship, offering a perfect retreat from everyday life. Using materials like wood and stone, along with hand-painted murals, make the space feel both natural and elegant. The neutral theme with a pop of bold colour enhances the gym spaces.

Interior Spaces

The Bohemian theme is balanced with modern touches, ensuring the space is not only beautiful but also practical. Soft, earthy tones are highlighted by vibrant Rust accents, adding energy without overwhelming the senses. The thoughtful placement of plants adds to the aesthetic appeal, improves air quality, and creates a connection to nature. As you enter the reception area, the calming tones set the friendly entrance guiding you from one space to another ensuring an enjoyable experience.

The freestanding arches not only mark different zones but also serve as architectural statements guiding you through your workout. The lighting adjusts to your needs, providing bright light for energetic sessions and soft light for more relaxing activities. The variety of zones in the studio caters to different aspects of fitness and wellness. The main workout area has state-of-the-art machines and free weights for a comprehensive workout. To cater for the needs of each user, spaces are planned according to relaxing and workout zones.

The Pilates zone offers specialized equipment and a calm atmosphere, perfect for focusing on core strength and flexibility. The meditation and relaxation zone provides a quiet space for mindfulness and restoring inner balance. Balancing inner peace in this busy lifestyle seems challenging, thus calming tones and textures with inviting surroundings create a space for stillness.

Benefit Studio is for everyone- a beginner or an athlete. It offers a space for medication, motivation and inner peace supporting the mental well-being of the users. The inviting environment grasps one and the thoughtful placement of interior decor, indoor plants and quiet spaces enhances the experience. Whether one is into an intense workout or needs a space for medication, this studio blends perfectly with individual preferences equipped with modern equipment.
