This large site overlooks a prominent Shanghai neighbourhood with 180 degree views. Spanning three levels this expansive venue only ever had one intention-to be Bold. Located near Shanghai’s premium Xintiandi area, we knew we were creating a wellness space for a discerning clientele, looking for an elevated experience.
Bold Wellness Club, is a carefully curated space where a few key materials and textures define a refined and sleek design, balancing between the warm and the cool. Configured over three stories, each level explores a recurring theme of the balance between light and dark, creating a journey and experience of both rest and energy throughout the various zones and spaces. The design aims to generate an emotional response associated to the level of activity required within each zone, through the use of materiality, light and colour.
The space had become a disused gym in previously life, so we looked at ways to reduce renovation waste where possible. We looked to retain existing walls and reused existing flooring in back-of-house spaces, even as substrates, for items like changing room counter tops, with all possible equipment refurbished rather than completely replaced.
