Our
client had opened a new gym in converted building in
West London and they had the good fortune to have a
fantastic and very large roof space (around 400 square
metres of usable space) which they wanted to open up
for their members to use. This provided a unique opportunity
to maximise this space. The views are wonderful
from the space, but as the terrace is high, wind and
exposure to all kinds of weather would be an issue.
Once all the building regulations
and health and safety issues had been complied with,
Charlotte Rowe Garden Design was given the brief to
create a multi-purpose space – it was to have
an area which could be used for classes, a small space
which could be converted at a future date to a space
for beauty treatments and relaxation, it would have
a mobile cafe area, some loungers and at the same time
it should look good both during the day and, importantly,
at night. Not only could members use it as a sun terrace,
but it would also be used for hospitality events.
"The space needs to work both
during the day when members use it as a relaxation area
and also at night when it is used for hospitatlity events." |
