Helping a country spa create new office space and a new gym concept
STAFFORDSHIRE DESIGN, VIABILITY & PLANNING
Our clients had grown their country home setting into a thriving spa, wedding and guest facility over 25 years. With the need for more space for administrative staff there came an opportunity to create a new gym within the site's valley context. Our challenge was to design and deliver a building that would expand their offering without compromising their existing business with disruption from an intrusive construction schedule.
THE PROJECT STORY
FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES
While part of the brief was solving problems related to growth, we were also mindful that this project should create options for future growth, thus we carefully designed sociable spaces within the gym concept to create multiple revenue opportunities for the client.
WORKING WITH THE LEVELS
Using the valley to our advantage, we created a scheme that had administrative space underneath the gym, creating a larger building without any additional footprint.
USING THE SITE WELL
Creating an outdoor training space with an astroturf base gave the gym a variety of options for classes and increased membership capacity. A simple addition that gave the facility a competitive edge.
IN THE CLIENT'S WORDS
Our experience with Croft Architecture is that they are customer focused, efficient, professional and extremely knowledgeable, and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.
