Established in 2001, Total Physical Fitness Center (TPFC) supports training, with expertise and equipment in bodybuilding/sculpting, weight-loss cardio, bodyweight cardio, combat training, circuit training, and aerobics. To meet the growing demand and a vision to build fitness as a way of life. TPFC team started to build a new training space in 2020.
We used a detailed BIM model from the beginning to explore design possibilities. We took inspiration from industrial CrossFit box aesthetics and developed an open gym concept focused on minimum use of walls. Primary construction materials include concrete, steel, and glass. Detailed drawings and diagrams were designed to understand the efficiency of the concept clearly and eventually communicated to the clients for execution.
