Community Fitness Center

Fitness brings everyone together. There are many people from various backgrounds that have something in common. People of different lifestyles are united by a single factor that they all share, and it is exercise. Everyone starts somewhere, and it is important to have a place to lift weights, run, stretch, and grab a snack. In the process, one will make a huge transformation in the end. This community fitness center will be able to unite others because it was designed around the spaces that bring different people together.

This project also focuses on the skin of the building so that the light can interact with it. The exterior utilizes the structure to create a skin. The bricks have been altered to allow light to pass through. By replacing half of the bricks with glass, a skin has been created that alters the light in the process.
