A new sinuous staircase leads
to a revamped floating
mezzanine level holding cardio
equipment and studios
(opposite, top). The redesign's
sleek black palette continues
into the basement level with
dark stone and tile cladding on
walls, floor, and steps.
Recessed linear lighting for
the stairs and walls creates
high visual drama (opposite,
bottom). Beyond the
custom-designed check-in
desk, the lounge-like lobby
offers various types of seating,
a small retail area, and a juice
bar for refueling (left).

Where London
What 18,600 square feet over
three floors
Black slate tiles clad the basement walls flanking the stairwell while
complementary gray-black stone covers the stair treads and risers.
Complementary brushed-copper swaths wrap the staircase structure.
Oak lockers and slatted benches and stools inject some
warmth into the predominantly dark palette. The most striking
material, however, is the nero marquina: The rich black marble clads
the counters and walls of vanity table-like mirrored stations. Within
these nooks, tall LED-integrated mirrors feature copper frames with
stems mounted onto the tabletop and ceiling above. Black perforated
metal forms the stool legs as well as partial screening between the
niches. The material plays a more prominent role on the upper levels.
No pain, no gain
One of the bold architectural interventions is a monumental staircase
connecting the ground and mezzanine levels. Here, the perforated
black metal resurfaces, this time as the new staircase's balustrades
which, in turn, extend farther to form the sinuous guardrails of the
mezzanine's overlook. Cardio machines, including treadmills and
stationary bikes, and pilates and spinning studios await members
upstairs for some sweat-inducing activity. But the experience is
made more pleasant thanks to views of the ground floor and street
activity outside the double-height arched windows, as well as a
closer look at the ornate molding and ceiling medallions, enhanced
by ethereal cove lighting and decorative chandeliers. A recurring
slatted motif throughout the club (e.g., locker-room seating, battens
framing the basement stairs, and similar partitions in various spots)
is reflected in these minimalist chandeliers comprising LED rods
encircling a void like a drum pendant shade.
The ground floor holds a stretching area and large strengthtraining zone stocked with both machines and free weights. Backlit
black perforated metal panels screen the soffit above. As this is also
the underside of the floating mezzanine, the architects added curved
metal panels that sweep upward and connect the soffit to the
mezzanine guardrails, creating visual continuity.
