Article source: RIMA Arquitectura Sportium Santa Fe is located at the west side of Mexico City; the project is part of a mayor change and new image of the sports facility brand. For this new gym the proposal was a fresh and informal environment with open spaces that encourage sports coexistence among users.
The atmosphere of this project also evokes the industrial style, leaving slabs and apparent facilities, also walls with visual aids showing sporting images. It sought to create airy and open spaces, taking advantage of natural light at all times, which is mixed with lighting fixtures creating a complete balance. A double-height lobby with natural light and a stunning green wall welcomes the visitors, which after passing the reception filter, can access to sports areas. The combination of materials like wood, polished concrete, glass and vinyl floors as well as the defined and asymmetrical design in floors and walls, lead the users through a clear route to the different spaces. This gym has cardio, integrated weight and free weights areas, 3 rooms for mixed-uses, semi-Olympic pool, 2 squash courts, a climbing wall, boxing ring, cross training room, stationary bikes, outdoor courts, playground, plus locker rooms with steam and sauna. Rima arquitectura was able to create a well-organized space defining each area and creating an astonishing atmosphere that encourages the enthusiasm of the athletes who attend the gym.
