commercial client, manchester - yoga and wellbeing studio - design concept and layouts

create the interior concept for an existing yoga practice wanting to re-brand and move from their current studio to a new larger space. the property to be converted had a large eucalyptus bush which became a focus and part of the brand identity. the space was to include a studio for yoga and other fitness classes, a small juice bar/cafe, and an area for display and retail. the business was centred around well-being and the building had to be flexible to accommodate various different activities and groups of different sizes, abilities and ages. mood was extremely important, again needing flexibility to move from day to night and also adapt to suit the different activities. The small outside area was also important, and it was key that there was a connection to nature, enhancing the feeling of wellbeing.
