multi-purpose sports court - leisure space design

The design of multi-purpose indoor sports basketball courts in co-living and residential real estate development has become increasingly important as modern living evolves to accommodate the demands of Gen-Z, namely an increased focus on wellness spaces focused on mind-body outcomes not just physical health.

In such instances we are typically collaborating with the development team, architects and technical consultants.

Such amenities provide a point of differentiation in an increasingly competitive marketplace where architects and designers now have an extensive toolkit of possible facilities to promote physical and mental health.

If a double-height, ground-floor site with street-facing glazing presents itself, any marketing-savvy developer should consider allocating it to a sports court, the project architects may need to bring in a specialist design consultant like us unless they have in-house sports facility expertise but other than that it needn’t be an especially costly exercise.

Fundamentally the key components to consider are the flooring, wall materials and finishes, decorative elements, overhead lighting, equipment storage, health and safety, then branding and integration into the wider aesthetic context of the site or real estate development.

Yoga room concepts - leisure space design

Just as a gym design can attract gym fanatics and the uncommitted alike, so the interior environment of a wellness room such as yoga studios plays a crucial role in enhancing their appeal, especially in a hotel site, co-living or residential real estate context where the number of existing ‘converts’ may be limited, we have to work harder to pull them along the path to mental and physical wellbeing path.

By harmoniously combining aesthetic elements with functional aspects in our scheme, as designers we aim to create yoga rooms that not only inspire but also facilitate a deeper connection to the practice.

design considerations

Key considerations for the interiors of yoga studios on site include spatial layout, lighting, acoustics, color palettes, and the incorporation of natural elements via biophilic design, as well as a sound system with custom playlists, adequate ventilation, privacy curtains or screens, and potentially a plasma screen with pre-programmed virtual trainer apps to promote sustained activity in the long-term. There may be less for architects to do in these instances but more focus on the building management and operations component.

Meditation room concepts - leisure space design

Meditation rooms, also known as spiritual rooms or zen rooms, are a designated wellness room within a co-living, residential or indeed office site designed to promote mindfulness, a relaxing experience, and provide a location dedicated to mental well-being and social connection.

These rooms are specifically tailored to create a serene and tranquil environment that facilitates the practice of meditation, small group workshops, or mindfulness-based activities.

mental health benefits

Incorporating meditation rooms into a healthy building's leisure facilities and wellbeing strategy can provide numerous benefits for the occupants, fostering a positive impact on their mental and physical health. For this, it requires the developer and architects to carve out a space in the overall plan as early as possible.

We integrate wellbeing design principles inspired by the WELL Building Standard to create healthy interiors, with purified indoor air, non-toxic materials, biophilic design, acoustic materials for privacy, comfortable seating options and smart lighting with a variety of mood settings, all intended to set the stage for a certain type of holistic experience.

    A well-executed interior design not only ensures optimal performance but also creates an engaging atmosphere that encourages sportsmanship and community building.

    When developing the interior design for an indoor basketball court, it is essential to consider aspects such as lighting, acoustics, flooring, and color schemes.

    Incorporating high-quality lighting in the interior design is vital for the functionality of an indoor basketball court, as it directly impacts the visibility and performance of the players.

    To achieve this, designers must strike a balance between natural and artificial lighting, taking into account factors such as glare, shadows, and energy efficiency.

    Additionally, the acoustics within the space should be carefully considered, using sound-absorbing materials to minimize noise levels and enhance the overall auditory experience for both players and spectators.

    The choice of flooring in the interior design of an indoor basketball court is yet another critical element, as it directly affects player safety and performance.

    Materials such as hardwood or high-quality synthetic surfaces are commonly used, offering optimal traction, shock absorption, and durability.

    Moreover, the color scheme of the court should be visually appealing and complementary to the brand or organization it represents, while also ensuring clear demarcation of lines and boundaries for ease of play.

  • The collective term used in residential real estate developments, especially co-living, for the wellness and activity spaces in a building.

    These may include a gym, outdoor gym, yoga room, meditation room, e-gaming room, multi-purpose sports court and even spa facilities.

    Typical principles to follow include wellness design, biophilic design and healthy interior design.

  • The interior design of meditation rooms can play a role in promoting wellbeing and mental health for residents.

    A well-thought-out wellness design here not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the meditation room but also directly impacts the effectiveness of one's meditation practice.

    The primary goal of designing a meditation room is to create a serene and tranquil space that allows the individual or group to easily focus and relax, disconnecting from the outside world not matter how briefly.

    Incorporating elements such as natural materials, biophilic design, calming color schemes, healthy materials, and appropriate lighting can significantly contribute to achieving this objective.

    By carefully considering the various design aspects of a meditation room, we create an environment that fosters a strong connection between the mind, body, and spirit, ultimately leading to improved mental health and overall wellbeing.

  • An indoor sports court, be it half or full size, that can accommodate basketball, as well as other activities such as badminton, group yoga classes, perhaps some boxing bags tucked away in a corner even.

  • The implementation of wellness design strategies for quiet rooms in offices, co-working spaces and co-living contexts contributes to a wellbeing strategy by creating a haven that fosters tranquility.

    Such spaces are designed to offer respite from the chaos and stress of big city living with a focus on comfort, as designers we incorporate elements that evoke serenity and calmness such as nature, healthy materials and plants.

    A well-designed quiet room combines aesthetics with functionality, striking a balance between visual appeal and practicality.

  • Similar to a wellness studio, a wellness room is a dedicated space for mind-body practices.

    Whereas a studio suggests a more organized space, perhaps with group classes or virtual trainer classes, a wellness room is more focused on self-practice.

    Again though, by way of wellness design principles we’d expect to see evidence of natural light, biophilic design to replicate a natural environment, non-toxic healthy building materials, enhanced indoor air quality for cognitive function, smart lighting technology for various ambiance settings, all make up the levers we are pulling as designers.

  • Wellness spaces is a broad term to describe the increasingly wide range of in-house facilities geared towards promoting physical and mental health in a co-living, residential development or hotel.

    As you might expect, wellness room designs can and we’d suggest should leverage wellness design principles such as healthy building materials, smart lighting technology, enhanced indoor air quality, an eco cleaning supply policy and biophilic design to bring the outside world in.

  • When designing a wellness studio we are looking to reflect the value of the business / brand behind it, whilst creating a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation.

    Our designs often feature elements that evoke a sense of tranquility and harmony.

    From the choice of color palettes and lighting to the selection of ergonomic equipment.

    As the available floor space is often limited, we have to consider every detail to create a cohesive room that promotes holistic wellness.

    By incorporating natural elements, such as plants and water features, we can bring a sense of balance and enhanced connection to nature, further elevating the overall wellbeing of clients.

  • Our approach to the wellness design of yoga studios is to blend aesthetics with functionality, considering equally aspects like lighting, storage, acoustics, decor and spatial organization.

    By incorporating elements from nature, such as plants and natural materials, yoga studios can create a tranquil ambiance that facilitates relaxation and mindfulness.

    Additionally, the choice of color palette, flooring, and furnishings should reflect the core values of the practice, promoting harmony and balance within the space.
