'Pilates is a unique exercise that allows people to focus on themselves' explained Noa Paz, owner of the studioThrough physical and mental training, people are able to enter a completely different state of consciousness from everyday life and recharge batteries. Such physical activity needs an immersive space.I wanted to create a 'relaxing urban oasis'.The studio is located in the north of the country in the city of Nahariya, the city where I grew up, which makes all the projects there close to my heart.We used Hamra paint as a stain in combination with a woven rattan-straw mesh and natural wood. The entrance area encourages the trainees to take a break from the daily routine and relax before starting the workout.The training area is full of natural light, it was important for us to understand the perspectives of the trainees when they are on the reformer and hence we chose to place a sentence on the ceiling that reminds the body to inhale and breathe.
