Spanish practice Plantea Estudio<\/a> has completed a barre studio<\/a> in Madrid<\/a>, with a moody colour<\/a> palette dominated by browns and reds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lean Studio<\/a> hosts barre classes, a style of low-impact workout with roots in ballet that also incorporates elements of pilates and yoga.<\/p>\n

\"BarreLean Studio opens out into an L-shaped dance studio<\/p>\n

The studio is located on the ground floor of a historic building in Madrid’s city centre \u2013 a busy location that Plantea Estudio<\/a> softened by creating a sense of calm throughout the interior.<\/p>\n

Its warm, moody atmosphere is worlds apart from the traffic outside, as well as from the space’s former life as the office for a parcel delivery company, with vinyl floors, suspended drop ceilings and LED lighting fixtures.<\/p>\n

\"BarreMottled limewashed walls give an organic feel<\/p>\n

“[The space’s new purpose] required isolation and calm within a noisy and chaotic environment,” Plantea Estudio told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“The microcement and linoleum on the floors and the limewash paint and microcement on the walls come together in a single colour palette, creating a sophisticated and serene atmosphere.”<\/p>\n

\"BarreThe dance studio’s walls are lined with mirrors or dramatic curtains<\/p>\n

The main dance studio is lined with floor-to-ceiling translucent curtains as well as mirrors to help participants ensure correct form. They are also supported by wooden barre bars that run horizontally across the surface of the mirrors.<\/p>\n

Barre uses the participant’s own body weight as well as equipment, including hand weights and exercise balls, which are stored in open shelving at the entrance to the L-shaped studio space.<\/p>\n

\"\"The entryway features an oval-shaped marble table that is reflected in the ovoid mirror<\/p>\n

The equipment serves a decorative as well as a functional purpose, with the mats, blocks and balls all matching the colour and material palette of the space.<\/p>\n

By considering these details, the studio aimed to ensure that the gear causes minimal visual clutter when in use and when stored away between sessions.<\/p>\n

Dubrovska Studio uses “leftovers” in Kyiv to furnish local dance studio\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n

This sense of orderliness also permeates into the reception area and changing rooms, which share the studio’s absence of clutter, soft colour palette and considered material choices.<\/p>\n

A marble-topped central table anchors the reception area, where its rounded shape is echoed in an oval mirror and a faux skylight overhead.<\/p>\n

\"ReceptionThe table has a glossy wine-red base<\/p>\n

Faux skylights are also found in the changing room along with glowing wall lights, which combine to create a gentle lighting scheme far removed from the clinical brightness of mainstream exercise venues.<\/p>\n

Marble reappears here in the form of a slim mirror shelf and a hefty washbasin, where the stone’s natural texture is complemented by banks of wood-fronted lockers.<\/p>\n

\"ChangingFaux skylights create the effect of daylight<\/p>\n

“On some occasions, in this type of space, architects place the focus on the space itself \u2013 materials are chosen in an attempt to construct a striking and memorable image,” said the studio.<\/p>\n

“In our architecture, the user is always placed at the centre.”<\/p>\n

\"MarbleThe material palette has an altogether earthy feel<\/p>\n

Plantea Estudio was established in 2012 by brothers Lorenzo and Luis Gil, who were joined by architect Carla Mor\u00e1n in 2017. The studio specialises in small-scale hospitality, workplace, retail and residential projects.<\/p>\n

Dezeen has covered a range of the studio’s projects in the past, including a florist in Madrid informed by the theatres<\/a>\u00a0and a Berlin bakery with a material palette informed by its urban location<\/a>.<\/p>\n
