Bala Fitness

Fitness Studio: Occupying the ground floor of Victoria’s Upper Harbor Place, Bala Fitness fits the interior with not only a new fitness studio and change rooms, but with a circular lounge and coffee bar as well. Large glass doors and floor to ceiling glazing at both the front and back of the space enables lots of natural light to penetrate the interior. Carefully designed architectural elements and materials were implemented to bring visual warmth to the space in contrast to the cooler existing concrete floors, columns, and concrete ceilings with exposed industrial elements. Lanterns are suspended from the ceiling and illuminate the lounge, while curved wood benches define the space.
