The Design

About Whyte Woolf Fitness Club

Whyte Woolf is a fitness club interior located in a large shopping center in Chongqing, China. The space covers 2,100 square meters. The design follows a minimalist approach inspired by concrete and by the wabi-sabi idea of simple and imperfect beauty. Original inverted cement columns and wall sections were retained after careful site measurement and photography, so the interior stays simple without being ordinary. Materials include galvanized snow plate, light steel keel cement pressure plate, micro-cement hole brick and log packaging board, all selected as low-carbon options.

Minimalist style seems to be a mission of concrete.
Many interior and outdoor designers are coincidentally falling in love with this simple concrete.
Tadao Anto, a Japanese architect known as the "poet of clear water and concrete", once said that cement and concrete are the highest forms of expression in building materials.
"wabi-sabi", though imperfect, complete, and permanent, represents simplicity, humility, and nature.
It is an alternative minimalist, simple and noble!
The design concept is to keep the space as contemporary with wabi-sabi beauty as possible.
The metaverse is a virtual space parallel to the real world and independent of the real world.
So will the virtual life in the virtual world interfere with your real world.
At the same time, this case has added a coming "Meta" on the spiritual level, and reflects on this in the form of art.
