ARBORETUM FITNESS

CLIENT: CAROLINA SPORTS CLUB, INC
LOCATION: CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA
PROJECT TYPE: NEW CONSTRUCTION
SIZE: 8,000 SF

An 8000 sq. ft. facility to provide women an open yet private environment in which anyone would feel at ease. Integral to the program are spaces for aerobics, dumbbells, and cardio workout. Also included are spaces for bathing, changing, and massage. For those with children a nursery is
provided.

Coordination of program demands with client and user demands dictated a close working relationship between client and architect. In an effort to provide women a motivational yet comfortable environment, a scheme was devised that attempted to synthesize the comfort of the home workout experience and the excitement of the club workout. To accomplish this, interior spaces were kept open while exterior window glass was given a screened pattern.
