The spatial division of the interior is achieved through the strategic alteration of ground and wall materials, creating smaller, visually defined areas. This effect is further emphasized through the inclusion of directional louvers, and an arrangement of long bar artificial lighting, which work together to create a continuous perspectival louvers. The design intent was to generate a sense of continuity within the space, achieved by integrating the louvers seamlessly from the ceiling to the walls. Given the lack of external windows, a mirror was incorporated to respectfully acknowledge the absence of natural light. The porosity of the louvers' texture serves a dual purpose: the vents allow fresh air to circulate throughout the gym, while the transparency between the louvers creates the illusion of greater height within the space.

The design intent behind these choices was to generate a sense of continuity and cohesiveness throughout the interior. This was accomplished by integrating the louvers seamlessly from the ceiling down to the walls, creating an unbroken visual flow. The lack of external windows presented a unique challenge, which was addressed by incorporating a mirror. This mirror serves a dual function: it acknowledges and compensates for the absence of natural light, and it also enhances the perception of space, making the interior feel more expansive.

The spatial division of the interior is achieved through the strategic alteration of ground and wall materials, effectively creating smaller, visually defined areas. By carefully selecting and contrasting different materials, the space is subtly compartmentalized without the need for physical barriers. This visual segmentation is further emphasized through the inclusion of directional louvers and an arrangement of long bar artificial lighting. These elements work in concert to create a continuous perspectival effect, enhancing the sense of depth and movement within the space.

The porosity of the louvers’ texture plays a crucial role in the overall design. The vents embedded within the louvers facilitate the circulation of fresh air throughout the gym, ensuring a well-ventilated environment. Simultaneously, the transparency between the louvers allows light to filter through and creates the illusion of greater height and openness within the space. This thoughtful design element not only contributes to the functionality of the gym but also enhances its aesthetic appeal, making the space feel both airy and spacious.
