Blok, Clapton's latest workout space, is visually marked by bare brick walls, tramlines, vaulted concrete ceilings and cast iron pillars
赤裸裸的砖墙、缆车、拱形混凝土天花板和铸铁柱子几乎没有说明建造一个伟大的健身房的条件,但伦敦最新的健身场所布洛克(Blok)却提出了不同意见。正是这些特点吸引了创始人埃德·斯坦伯里和马克斯·奥本海姆进入哈克尼空间。这两位创始人解释说,这一地点位于维多利亚时代工业单元两侧一条鹅卵石铺成的道路的底部,是生机勃勃的,也是出乎意料的。“这让我们想起了柏林的一些地方,在那里,高档餐厅和俱乐部可以在功利的工业建筑中找到。”
这三人与常驻健康和营养专家雷马·斯坦伯里(ReemaStanbury)合作成立,他们的现代事业已经有了概念基础:一个有画廊空间和咖啡馆的设计师健身房。
室内设计师DayTrip解释道:“当你从它的大木门进入时,你会到达一个画廊空间。”在这里,由丹·弗拉文和罗伯特·欧文的作品启发的荧光灯装置照亮了色彩领域的空间-粉红、桔子、绿色和蓝色-唤起人们的幻想,并与中庭和室内的方块形式玩耍。画廊将咖啡厅、工作室和更衣室连接起来。
这两个工作室都是在原来的砖瓦结构和铸铁结构中保存的,这两个工作室迎合了不同的主题,由它们外部灯光的不同颜色梯度所表示。Studio 1专注于功能健身、力量和调理和拳击(悬臂式金属I-横梁安装可伸缩训练设备),而Studio 2更注重身体和精神之间的关系,与各种瑜伽,普拉提,巴雷和冥想类。
Blok咖啡馆提供简单而实用的服务,包括食品和家具。在道格拉斯冷杉和钢铁的定制厨房桌子占据了舞台中心,一个热轧钢服务柜台与退玻璃屏幕以外,两者都是坚固而生硬的。菜单上有许多有营养的饮料和小吃,这些公司包括:冷榨果汁品牌植物实验室、东伦敦咖啡烘焙公司Square Mile Coffee、蛋白质补充剂供应商猴子营养,以及-有趣的是-以有机(和修复性)骨汤而闻名的Borough肉汤公司。
斯普林特,艺术家阿兰格雷戈里的作品挂在咖啡馆和接待处之间,恭维着接待的异乎寻常的几何学,完美地反映了布洛克的精神。克拉普顿似乎在健康、艺术和设计方面都在提升。
Unusually for a gym, the small complex also includes a gallery space, featuring fluorescent lighting installations inspired by the works of Dan Flavin and Robert Irwin
The neo-industrial appeal of the space is precisely what first attracted founders Ed Stanbury and Max Oppenheim. 'It reminded us of locations in Berlin, where high-end restaurants and clubs can be found in utilitarian industrial estates,' they say
Housed in converted depot stores, the two studios cater to different themes, denoted by the different colour gradiations of the lights outside them
Studio 1 focuses on functional fitness, strength and conditioning and boxing (cantilevered metal I-beams mounting retractable training equipment)...
... while Studio 2 focuses more on the relationship between body and mind with a variety of yoga, pilates, barre and meditation classes
The raw aesthetic extends to the gym's changing and bathrooms...
... themselves reminiscent of contemporary gallery and restaurant facilities
On Blok Café's menu are a number of nutritious drinks and snacks from companies like cold-pressed juice brand Botanic Lab, Square Mile Coffee, protein supplement providers Monkey Nutrition and the Borough Broth Company
With Blok, Clapton is a new epicentre for forward thinking gym concepts: in health, art and design
