Today we introduce you to a fascinating private gym, located in the suburbs of St. Petersburg and covering a total area of 113 m2. The architects Olga Vetosheva and Eduard Zakharov from Horomystudio are behind the project, which was realized in 2015. Their task was to create a fully equipped sports complex with a swimming pool and spa area, but which would blend seamlessly into the surrounding area.
Private gym in nature
The lack of open space and the forest landscape posed a real challenge. Finally, a 30 m2 plot was dedicated as building land, with all trees retained and integrated into the architecture of the sports center. For this reason, the use of construction machinery was not possible. All excavation work on the project was carried out manually. The basement was built using TOP-DOWN technology: from top to bottom.
The private fitness house extends over several floors: a basement with fitness equipment for strength and muscle training, cardio equipment on the ground floor and yoga on the upper floor. The facade to the north is made of glass and the facade to the south is clad in wood. The adjacent terrace is on several levels and offers a pleasant stay in good weather. The terrace on the north side connects the fitness house with an existing sauna complex.
Private gym professionally furnished
The private fitness studio is harmoniously embedded in the natural surroundings. Thanks to the ample glazing, natural light is used optimally. The hall on the ground floor has sliding glass doors that open completely when necessary, merging the boundary between inside and outside. The stair treads also feature excellent accents such as LED strips and integrated flower boxes.
A spiral staircase with a railing made of copper sheet connects the three floors. Polymer coatings on the steps provide additional safety. The interior design and equipment of the fitness studio meets the high standards of a professional sports facility. SPORTEC® style safety flooring and sports parquet made of Canadian maple MIRAGE) were laid. Particular emphasis was also placed on the technical solution for natural room ventilation. A real highlight are the figures of famous boxers, which were made from mirror especially for the project.
