Core Physiotherapy Rehab & Wellness

Given the constraints of a subterranean basement space, the challenge here was to create a space where clients of Core Physiotherapy could be welcomed and motivated to the challenges of rehabilitation and wellness. One of the first design priorities was to maximize the existing light in the space from a series of clerestory windows.

One2One Fitness Studio

This project was born from the need to expand a Fitness Center by creating a studio that would complement its two existing ones. The client's request was of an area with a very different design approach from the first two studios of the brand – though spatially connected.

Upon demolition, some structural elements required... More
