About Home Gym Ionad Aclaíochta Príobháideach

Is ionad aclaíochta príobháideach é Home Gym atá lonnaithe i nDubaí, Aontas na nÉimíríochtaí Arabach. Tá an foirgneamh roinnte ina dhá cheantar phríomha, spás traenála agus spás fóillíochta agus sóisialta, atá nasctha trí chonair a bhfuil léargas soiléir aici ar linn uisce. Cuimsíonn an áis linn snámha, seomra sauna, folcadán Jacuzzi, dhá lounge bhia, beár súnna, seomraí feistis le taisceadáin, agus crios aclaíochta do fhichead duine. Tá an crios aclaíochta suite níos ísle ná an chuid eile den fhoirgneamh chun trasoiliúint a cheadú gan an airde iomlán a ardú. Cuireann claddáil clocharáin an struchtúr i gcomhréir leis an tírdhreach fásaigh.

Production Technology: Sand stone cladding, SPC panels
Design Challenge: The height of the fitness zone to accommodate cross-fit training without increasing the building overall height. this was solved by sinking the fitness zone lower than the rest of the building.
Research: It was discovered early on that the main connection that needed to be established was with the existing pond. The main idea was to open the views toward the water pond, where all the walls that facing pond should have an unobstructed open view, and everything else facing the opposite side would be solid. Also, the building should not affect the natural surroundings & preserve most of the existing vegetation. This meant that the building needed to blend in which is reflected in the height & stone sandy tones used for the exterior cladding.
Inspiration: The design of the building is in intended to create an intimate relationship with this beautiful natural setting. The use of stone wooden vegetation seamlessly blends the architecture with the site's powerful desert landscape and the relaxing panorama of the pond.
Project Duration: This project is located in Dubai, in the Nad al Shiba area, in the United Arab Emirates.
The construction is expected to start in the second quarter of the current year.
Operation Flow: The intent of the design is to be a relaxing retreat space. The building is broken up into 2 main areas: the workout space, and the leisure & social space. The 2 areas are connected through a corridor with a clear view of the pond giving the feeling of moving through nature. The pool area opens up in winter times when it's cooler, where the glazing is tucked inside the walls for a seamless look. Furthermore, the skylights above covers the entire pool allowing for a full view of the sky above.
