The expansion of a ground‑floor commercial space on Via Enrico Dandolo in Corato has brought to life an innovative and welcoming wellness centre, where design, technology, and functionality converge across 1,800 m².
The concept is based on holistic well‑being, expressed through visual cleanliness and the integration of advanced technologies. The result is a place where people can care for their bodies independently or share wellness journeys in inspiring, thoughtfully designed environments.
The locker rooms evoke a spa‑like atmosphere, creating spaces for regeneration post‑workout. Oversized graphics of male and female figures define different zones, adding an artistic and distinctive touch.
Common areas are conceived as dispersed lounges, designed to foster relaxation and social interaction. Here, visitors can await the end of a class or connect with others about their wellness journey.
The reception is a focal point of design, featuring a cane‑caned counter crafted in white and canaletto walnut, bringing warmth and elegance. Dominant tones of grey, chosen for their neutrality and sobriety, establish a calm, refined ambience.
The centre offers 24/7 access via an advanced control system that allows autonomous entrance. Mechanical systems activate based on individual access profiles, ensuring a personalised and secure experience.
Fitness spaces include four dedicated studios: aerobics, personal training, functional workouts, and martial arts. The main gym area is enhanced by an intermediate platform raised by one metre, optimising spatial distribution and flow.
The ventilation and air‑handling units, intentionally exposed, become an integral part of the industrial aesthetic. Natural light from large skylights is complemented by ambient lighting effects—spotlights and RGB—that accentuate wall finishes and mirrors.
Flooring combines materials selected for both aesthetic and functional qualities: grey concrete, poured resin, and wood alternate with impact‑absorbing rubber flooring in technical zones.
