Layered perforated metal creates a calm, open gym environment<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Canobardin designs Moof Fitness Studio in Madrid<\/a> as a modular<\/a>, replicable architectural system rather than a single\u00a0gym interior<\/a>. Conceived as the prototype for a future network of fitness centers<\/a>, the project establishes a flexible design language based on prefabricated<\/a>, dry-assembled components that can be built, dismantled, and reconfigured over time. Instead of treating the gym as a fixed environment, the studio proposes an adaptable framework that can evolve across different locations while maintaining a consistent architectural identity.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The spatial organization is divided into two primary training zones, floor training and strength training, linked through a continuous open plan. Rather than relying on enclosed partitions, the project uses perforated metal sheeting as its primary architectural element. Reinterpreted from its industrial origins, the material filters views, light, and movement, creating layers of privacy while preserving visual continuity throughout the interior. As daylight passes through the perforations, shifting shadows and reflections animate the space, subtly marking changes in time and activity.<\/p>\n

Color, transparency, and light define Canobardin\u2019s gym concept<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Developed by Studio<\/a> Canobardin, the project also aims to establish a calmer and more inclusive fitness environment, moving away from the visually saturated character often associated with gym interiors. Its restrained material palette reinforces this approach. Powder-coated structural elements finished in Melongelb RAL 1028 introduce warmth, technical white surfaces enhance brightness and spatial clarity, while electric blue accents define selected graphic and wayfinding elements.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This design language extends to the exterior through a double skin of perforated metal that mediates the relationship between the building and the street. Folded metal signage projects from the facade as a three-dimensional graphic element that changes with light and viewpoint, while a continuous illuminated band reinforces the connection between the activity inside and the surrounding urban environment. With Moof Fitness Studio, architects B\u00e1rbara Bard\u00edn and Julio Cano redefine the gym as a flexible, replicable system centered on user experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
