Higher Health Yoga

This first to market hybrid concept blends a spin studio, yoga studio and destination retail in a fresh, bold and crowd-drawing space.

We were faced with the challenge of creating a comfortable, calm space to practice but also incorporate a compelling area to draw customers to stay, browse and shop.

One of the highlights is a built-in ottoman surrounded by a large ‘tree like’ fin structure anchors the ceiling space throughout the retail and check in and disperses as you enter into the studio space. The tree metaphor also reminds us of the yogic mantra “root to rise” and provides an appropriate grounding to the arrival experience.”

Calm tones warm woods, with pops of bold brights and prints punctuate the otherwise neutral space to create visual interest and contrast. Details like the custom angled solid surface reception offer a bold statement on entry and create a clear visual cue as to where to check in and how to move throughout the studio without disrupting other patrons.

We provided custom finishes, soft warm lighting and updated studio design featuring sustainable cork and bamboo flooring unique to this client and location.

The space and concept achieve a sensitive balance between calmness of yoga, hype of spin and bold functionality of the retail and amenties. The client has been catering to sold out classes since opening.
