As architects of commercial projects, we are vested in the businesses’ success and sustainability. There is a heightened responsibility to design spaces that not only represent the business’s branding, marketing, and desired pedestrian traffic but also ensure that the space is sensible and aesthetically pleasing to meet the needs of the business and its customers.

This Vibe Ride studio, located in Detroit and completed in Summer 2019, is not your typical fitness gym. It’s a combination of vibrant energy within an open, supportive, and dynamic environment.

The fitness gym is 2,500 SF and includes two main workout studios. The body studio has recessed storage areas, luxury flooring, and decorated wood slat entrance that subtly separates it from the lobby area.

The 40-bike cycling studio has two tiers of bikes with DMX lighting throughout the space to provide that energy mentioned earlier. An observation deck is also used for guests, visiting DJs, and camera crews. The lobby area strategically implements light colors and materials to reinforce a clean, safe environment that is dedicated to its client’s health and wellness goals.
