1Rebel Victoria, London SW1

At 1Rebel Victoria, our fifth project for the boutique fitness studio brand, we designed a multi-tiered cycling auditorium with an 80 person capacity.

Central to the project is a 10 metre-tall pod, situated within the shell of the reception area and containing the auditorium. A three-dimensional surround-sound system fills the cycling auditorium with music. The cycling instructor’s podium is on a scissor-lift that can be raised up to the mezzanine level. The pod is externally wrapped in aluminium mesh and backlit by a grid of individually programmable circular LED fittings that animate the reception lobby and circulation areas.

This is a playful piece of event architecture that transforms the activity of physical exercise into an immersive and entertaining activity, akin to a celebratory night out.
