A major goal was to use the new work to integrate this collection of previous buildings to form a cohesive design.  A very tight budget resulted in renovation of an existing building rather than replacement. A simple palette of interior finishes and a subtle juxtaposition of colors differentiate the programmatic sequence and spatial contrasts. The fitness areas were finished in exposed ceiling, ducts and indirect lighting using off-the-shelf fixtures.  All the various functions are arranged along a new circulation spine. This spine contrasts closed-wall functions on one side with open sandblasted glass storefront (toward exercise areas) on the opposite side.  A continuous (false) skylight covers the entire length of this spine. Exercise areas progress from exterior zone with large glazed views of a garden (treadmills, stair machines, etc), through a middle zone for weights, to a dark interior zone for spinning and yoga classes. Natural light is provided to all other spaces.
