The name refers to the different floors of the building, the “Up” which is the Ground Floor; and the “Down” which is the Underground one. The floors are divided between Work zone, and reception for the Ground Floor, and the SPA and the changing rooms for the underground floor. The work zone has different gym machines in order to practice, those machines are displayed in order they are looking the street, so you are making some sport while you can see what is happening in the real street thanks to the building which is surrounded instead of walls of windows.

The SPA has aquatic leds in order to change the water color depending the day and the period time of the day. The male’s changing room is painted with military khaki color while the women’s one is painted in sand color with some purple dots.

To be prepared for all day on, Sara Folch Interior Design count on leds lights because they are low energetic waste and they can be on for some hours, and they do not waste to much energy as other gym lights. The floor was made by linoleum for the machine zone and for the weightlifting area we used rubber.

Clubs DIR is a very known gym network in the city of Barcelona and it was a challenge to do this project, but we are very proud from it and each time we pass next to it we feel like if it was our home.
