Location: Private residence, Quebec
Objective Design the ultimate private gym for a lifelong athlete and his partner.
Overview After years of training and dreaming, a dedicated athlete finally decided to build the gym he always wanted right in his own basement. This wasn't just about convenience. It was about creating a space that would fuel progress for decades to come, a gym that left nothing to be desired for either him or his wife.
The Challenge Fitting a full commercial-grade gym in a residential basement was no small feat. The space needed to house heavy-duty machines, provide smooth flow, and still feel good to train in, without crowding or compromising on versatility.
