Sisters Pilates Studio

Overview

A women's movement studio designed as a calm, light-filled room for breath and repetition. Soft arches, warm plaster, and natural timber frame the reformer floor so the architecture recedes and the body leads.

Concept

The studio is planned around a single generous volume: equipment set in quiet rhythm, mirrors placed to extend rather than dominate, and daylight filtered through sheer layers. Changing, storage, and lounge functions are tucked behind curved partitions so the practice space stays uninterrupted.

Rhythm

Reformers are spaced to the arch module, so equipment and architecture share one measure.

Light

Sheer linen diffuses daylight across the plaster, keeping the room bright without glare on the mirrors.

Acoustics

Soft plaster curves, timber slats, and textile surfaces absorb sound so the studio stays quiet in use.
