It took nearly half a year, since a large premises with high ceilings and good insulation was needed. As a result the choice was made in favor of the fourth floor of the Streletskaya Sloboda business club located in the reconstructed building of the former plant.

Its recommendations preconditioned the color choice as well as the format of information and navigation signs in the club.

In general the fitness club is designed as a laconic space which is the background for dynamic broken volumes that symbolize in this project «dynamics» and «movement» as the quintessence of all sports and healthy lifestyle.

It is lifted 60 cm up in relation to the floor, so that the visitors, while working out, could see the street through the panoramic windows. Passers-by, in their turn, can see silhouettes in the fourth floor windows – thus the issue of the club promotion among the citizens is solved in a peculiar way.
