There are mixtures of “stillness” and “motion” in the programs. One of our challenges was how to design the individual space with the surrounding relations. As principle axis, we decided to use “COLORS” that will associate psychologically when customers enter the facility.  Image Courtesy © Nacasa & Partners

Using PURPLE color, we created comfort along with wooden tone which will bring warm expression. Stepping into the Hot Yoga Studio, there lies the “stillness” area. We chose neutral colors such as GREEN and ACHROMATIC colors to create magical atmosphere to switch the psychological aspects of “concentration” vs “openness” and “reality” vs “unreality”.

In this way, we created an organic and dynamic atmosphere by eliminating inorganic and solid impression. Using too many colors will sometimes bring childish or pop impression. Nevertheless, utilizing these colors partially, gravitationally or combining neutral colors will give inflection. We used one darker color tone for the façade to make a sharp looking impression, compared with the inner facility. In this way, we were able to create a sophisticated facility along with an upgraded atmosphere.
