We step into the shoes of the athlete, utilising a contrast of light and dark to optimise their experience at this community-oriented gym from the moment they walk in.

Athletes arrive at Haus greeted by natural colour tones and welcoming, neutral light. This palette characterises the space’s communal hot spots — where people might meet for the first time — encouraging them to mingle and be at ease.

As the hour of their workout nears, they move into the lounge area to prepare. Lights here are dim, cueing a subconscious transition into a more focused, inward state.

The exercise studio itself is a chamber of intense black, illuminated by electric blue light. This dark room, pulsing with music, amplifies energy and channels the individual’s full attention to their physical performance.

Their workout complete, athletes return to the brighter, gentler hues of the outside world, recharged for the rest of their day.
