In architecture you often hear that an empty space should be defined by what’s built in it, nothing more, nothing less. The empty space was there, already built, naked… and we became tailors instead of architects. From the measurements of the naked body (waistline, hips, the way the shoulders fall down) a tailor reimagines the body in fabrics. Rediscovering it through imagination and covering it with tangible shapes, all in the same effort.
The second fitness training center of the brand I Feel Good! It brings novelty and a new air to what is already established in the market and in the health of its users. As in the first center, Vitale creates an image consistent with a business that aims to inspire healthy habits in its customers to improve their quality of life. The interior design project stems from a global communication strategy on which all the elements and environments of the brand are designed, from the naming of the business to the interior design of its centers.
Housing with an ‘L’-shaped floor plan that combines the refined lines of the white upper volume with sharp edges with the more compact volumes of the lower floor. The imposing cantilever generated by the parking area, the interior-exterior continuity that blurs the limits and the natural light that penetrates into the heart of the house through a skylight located in the double height next to the staircase stand out. The most notable element, however, is the splay that is generated in the main facade, framing the windows of the bedrooms on the upper floor, with a studied inclination for adequate solar control at different times of the year while achieving a imposing volume that rises above the pool.

As if a Cordoban flora oasis was, the ME TÓ DI CA clinic can be spotted from the end of two residential buildings avenues, like a forest of green reflections and warm light playing with pedestrians at the street level.
The façade is created with aluminium slats that form the abstract image of a Cordoban forest. This is achieved thanks to the treatment of every 20 x 40 mm slat’s edges, which makes them unique. Facing the street (20 mm exterior edge), slats are finished with green mirror material that, on the one hand, reflect cars and pedestrians passing through and the nearby trees’ leaves waving alongside the wind and, on the other hand, they dye the adjacent street pavement green as a result of reflecting the sunlight. Perpendicularly to the street (40 mm lateral edges), on their both sides, slats are finished with a printed vinyl forming the figurative image of a Cordoban forest in wide format.
