Production Technology: To match the LED lights, the designers used slashed metal meshes to cover the entire space, echoing the white slashes on the ground, and thus a strong sense of movement and extension comes into being.
Design Challenge: As required by the course, the fitness studio has strength and relaxation exercises, but the space is limited. The designers designed the lighting of the whole room, white and red lights can be switched at random, and with background music correspondingly, it meets the needs of different types of courses.

XU Studio bring the concept of "light" into the design. Through lighting, simple materials have also become rich and interesting. With lighting settings, they can freely Switch scenes, red lights are used for short-term strength training, and white is used for regular training and relaxation.
Inspiration: Light has been incorporated into many works by many artists to convey the philosophy contained in it.

Designers hope to shape the space through the light, and stimulate the students' desire for sports and fitness with strong visual impact.
Project Duration: The project started in January, 2019 in Shanghai and finished in April 2019 in Shanghai.
Operation Flow: Taking it into account that the second floor lateral entrance was not conducive to visual guidance, designers used the street exhibition surface to fully present the circular shape in the interior space with the store facade to the urban interface. And multi-effect facade lighting devices were installed on the street exhibition surface, allowing R Fitness to talk to people in the city in a special way at night.
