BECYCLE精品健身工作室是一个健康领域新概念的旗舰项目,它通过融合健康、健身和风格捕捉到了巨大的潜力。传统意义上的健身房追求的是一种更加中性甚至无菌的氛围,而我们的建议则是通过承认事物不那么原始和自然的一面来遵循独特和简单的现代精神。旧的甚至腐朽的东西并不意味着过时,而是恰恰相反,是找到独特的机会。因此,我们的设计以一种模糊的方式将原有的东西与新的东西混合在一起,为个人的发现创造一个新的空间。

The BECYCLE boutique fitness studio is a flagship project for a new concept in the wellness sector, which captures a great potential by merging health, fitness and style. Whereas traditionally gyms have pursued a more neutral or even aseptic atmosphere, our proposal follows a contemporary spirit of uniqueness and simplicity by acknowledging the less pristine and natural side of things. Where old or even decay doesn’t imply outdated but quite the contrary, an opportunity to find distinctiveness. As such our design mingles the preexistent with the new in a blurry way, creating a new space for personal discovery.

2015年春天,在柏林Mitte,我们与客户会面,讨论这个新概念,将室内自行车和柏林特色的俱乐部文化结合起来。他们心目中的地方不是另一个有专门的旋转室的普通健身工作室,而是一个城市游牧者的家,有合作的区域,吃素食,在一个刺激的氛围中遇到志同道合的人。在接下来的几周里,设计团队制定了第一个概念草案,但又花了6个月的时间,终于找到了一个合适的地点,可以同时承载精品店和健身形象。

In spring 2015 in Berlin Mitte we met with the clients to discuss this new concept that would bring together indoor cycling and the characteristic Berlin clubbing culture. The place they had in mind was not another regular fitness studio with a dedicated spinning room, but a home for the urban nomad, with areas to co-work, eat vegan food and meet like-minded people in a stimulating atmosphere. Over the next weeks a first concept draft was developed by the design team, but it took another six months to finally come up with a suitable location that could carry both, the boutique and the fitness image.

一楼的商业单位以前是一家银行,因此有一个古老的保险库和厚重的砖墙,但也有一个零散的布局。建筑师面临的第一个挑战是开垦开放空间。由于有100多年的历史,整个建筑在开发时没有考虑到开放空间的布局。一旦内墙被拆除,底层就留下了许多无法定义的空地,由尴尬的走廊连接。这个问题的解决方案是一个黄铜结构的建筑寄生虫,它重塑了内部,并作为一个骨干,从入口到休息室和接待区,再到快速更换的储物柜,最后到骑行室和精炼工作室,陪伴着游客。在设计阶段,黄铜主体成为精品工作室的中心和建筑上的瑞士军刀,包含了零售、厕所、储藏室、储物柜甚至饮水机。

The commercial unit on the ground floor formerly served as a bank and therefore featured an old vault and heavy brick walls, but also a fragmented layout. The first challenge the architects faced was to reclaim the open space. With more than 100 years on its watch, the entire building was not developed with an open space layout in mind. Once the internal walls were down, the ground floor was left with a multitude of indefinable clearings connected by awkward corridors. The solution to this problem was an architectural parasite in form of a brass structure that reshaped the interior and functioned as a backbone that would accompany the visitor from entrance, through the lounge and reception area, to the quick changing lockers and finally the ride room and refine studio. Along the design phase the brass body became the centerpiece and the architectural swiss army knife of the boutique studio, containing retail, toilets, storage, lockers and even a water dispenser.

精品工作室的主要吸引力是它的骑行室,一个黑盒子,它与周围的声学分离,具有相当于录音室的消音标准。它允许DJ套装以柏林夜总会的音量和深度基础进行播放,以获得欣喜若狂的骑行体验,而不会干扰到附近的居民。它的灯光秀、音响系统和复杂的位移通风系统是为BECYCLE定制的,以增强静态旋转自行车的动态和运动感觉。

The main attraction of the boutique studio is its ride room, a black box, which is acoustically detached from its surrounding with sound cancelation standards equivalent to a recording studio. It allows DJ sets to be played at volume levels and with deep base of Berlin nightclubs for ecstatic ride experiences, without disturbing the neighborhood. Its light show, sound system and sophisticated displacement ventilation system were custom designed for BECYCLE to enhance the dynamics and feeling of movement on static spinning bikes.

与喧闹和黑暗的骑行室相比,精炼的工作室、更衣室、休息室和咖啡馆(MyGoodness)传递着精品店的平静,其形状是精选材料如橡木、混凝土、大理石、石板的极简主义孤品,并以黄铜为纽带。

In contrast to the loud and dark ride room, the refine studio, changing rooms, lounge and café (MyGoodness) transport the calm of a boutique, in the shape of minimalistic solitaires in selected materials like oak, concrete, marble, slate and united by brass.
