Article source: VOX Architects «World Class» – the Russian fitness clubs chain, absolute leader of the fitness industry in the “luxury” and “premium” segments. In 2016 the management of «World Class» announced a contest for the best concept of a new image of the whole chain of fitness clubs. VOX Architects won this competition and decided to create a unique modern space with an individual character for comfortable and effective sports.  Image Courtesy © Sergey Ananiev

The main space of this club is a swimming pool. The project provides for the reconstruction of an already existing pool, so the goal was to implement the project as soon as possible without interrupting the club’s operation for a long time. At the core of the Worldclass concept is a strong contrast of shapes, materials and colors, giving rise to a powerful dynamic.

The project was implemented in two months.  Image Courtesy © Sergey Ananiev  Image Courtesy © Sergey Ananiev
