JIANAN CAI



My project is a fully immersive, communal gym and spa designed to facilitate the vitality of the community.The whole building is in the form of a grand staircase, which angles back on itself as it descends into the ground. On the roof is space for people to exercise. There are different various exercise rooms, such as Yoga room, cycling room, treadmill‘s room. People can take a rest and exercise outside on the different scales steps. After the exercise, people can enter the building from the roof entrance or the main entrance near the road. The two entrance Spaces are seen in section as two corresponding staircases. The space on the first floor is mainly for rest, where there is a large terraced sleeping space. Echoing this communal sleeping space, is the stepped communal dining space below. The underground cafeteria, sauna and the sinking Korean SPA area form a place for leisure and relaxation, providing a space for people to relax after exercise.
