Between structure and movement: a reinvented space
As part of this project in the heart of Ixelles, the entire existing building was renovated. The aim of the major renovation was to convert the former offices and accommodation into a wellness centre and multi-purpose fitness area. The main challenge was to create multiple, flexible spaces capable of meeting specific needs in terms of layout, circulation and volume.
Over and above the technical aspects, our role was to give concrete expression to ANIMO's mission: to design a place that inspires people to move, feel better and live better, in a collective setting. By helping to bring this project to fruition, we helped to shape an environment where performance, well-being and conviviality come together.
Our work focused particularly on stability and the design of structural elements adapted to these uses. A particular challenge was the development of a complex metal staircase central to the building: first modelled in 3D, it was then manufactured and installed as a unique solution, perfectly integrated into the spirit of the place.
The project illustrates the ability to reconcile technical requirements with architectural quality, in order to offer a modern, functional space that is perfectly suited to its new uses.
