The Dailey Method is an exercise studio, with a reception area, a retail area, an exercise space, a kids play area and a men/women locker room. The directive was to use similar components from other Dailey Method studios while also creating a unique design that capitalizes on the existing two and a half story space with brick walls, wood trusses and large skylights. The design intent was to celebrate the rawness of the existing materials and contrast them with a clean, airy intervention. We also saw the importance of taking advantage of the wonderful natural light that the large skylights provide. The final result is a space that has finished, clean lines, while simultaneously paying homage to the edginess of this former automobile repair shop.
