Form gym used to be a kindergarten that turned into a gym. At first, the employer tried to use the 400 square meters of the kindergarten building, but with the proposal of the architectural group, the courtyard was added to the club space and the final area became 700 square meters. The yard was added to the area of the gym by installing a tent structure, the use of the tent structure brought the architecture group closer to the concept for some reasons, the most important of which was the use of natural light to illuminate the old gardens of the project.
The main idea of the project was to create a large, fluid and relatively new space for women. Circulation in the plan was a fundamental issue of architecture. After various sketches according to movement circulation, in addition to creating spatial fluidity for the user from the entrance to the access to the desired space, it also has a suitable space for placing the equipment used in the gym.
It was decided that the main building will accommodate the service spaces of the project. For this reason, the reception area, analysis space, dressing room, gymnasium, restrooms, laundry and cafe were placed in this zone, and the main hall (aerobic hall) and the section of the cable machines and free weight machines are located in the yard. Also, in the design to separate the spaces, glass surfaces were used in such a way as to prevent the creation of noise pollution in the spaces by maintaining the visibility of the spaces to each other.
The use of one-piece mirrors from floor to ceiling and the color of the space was the choice of the design team according to the main concept of the project to create unity and simplicity in the space. Leveling the facade in the direction of the sloping alley so that the slope is not felt. The material used in the facade is concrete so that it can be a good cover for the project and make it look integrated. Colors, textures and lighting styles are designed for women.
