Xuhui Store of Shanghai BYC Yoga Studio

City dwellers seek a spiritual island for relaxing their bodies and minds. The owner desires for the space to express the spirit of yoga, therefore the design team attempts to match the owner's requirements by recuperating the feeling of life through the essential colors and textures of the materials, and conveying a yoga space with temperature and vitality.

The design aims to enable people to briefly escape from the fast-paced rhythm of city life and build a more cozy and more meaningful personality in the natural space and rich activities. It permits city dwellers to slow down, heal their bodies and minds, and enjoy the purest and simplest happiness of yoga in a simple and pleasant setting.

To make the most of the limited space, the design team included a storage room hidden behind a mirror in the spatial layout, as well as ultra-high wood veneer movable partitions between multiple classrooms, allowing the space to be transformed into different functional forms to meet the needs of the operation's rich and diverse activities.
