Leisure and wellbeing design that keeps members coming back

We are an architectural design studio with experience across leisure centres, gyms, health clubs, boutique studios and new-build padel clubs. We deliver everything from refurbishments, often while the building stays open, to large new builds. We are based at the Digital Media Centre in Barnsley, South Yorkshire and work with clients nationwide.

Our approach

Great projects begin with people. Whether you are an operator, a developer, a trust or a contractor, we bring the same care, clarity and commitment to every project.

Our practice is built on listening, collaboration and a deep understanding of how the spaces we design will be used every day. We approach each project with a pragmatic mindset. We balance creativity with real-world constraints so the design is thoughtful and, just as importantly, buildable.

About the studio

Spaces that perform

First impressions

The front of house areas set the tone for every visit, we design spaces that welcome people and serve their communities.

Every square metre earns its place

Equipment layouts, class capacity, changing room sizes and options for future expansion are tested early.

On brand, across the estate

For multi-site operators, we work to your brand guidelines so every refurbishment looks and feels like part of the same family.

Open for business

We phase works so centres stay open, members keep training and staff can work safely while the building changes around them.

Our experience

Our leisure work runs from interior fit-outs to destination new builds, for public leisure trusts and private operators.

Support at any stage

Testing a site or a unit?

We run feasibility studies and layout options, with CGIs to help you and your teams make the call.

Need drawings for your contractor?

We produce the planning, building control and construction drawings your contractor needs to price and build from.

Refurbishing a live centre?

We plan the phasing and handle CDM and building regulations duties, so the project runs safely around your members.

Want one team for the whole job?

Our turnkey service covers design, cost management, interior design and project management, from brief to handover.

Director led, start to finish

Every project is director led, so the right people are on it at the right time and nothing gets handed down a chain. You get the same team from the first conversation to the last site visit, with one point of contact throughout.

Our fees are competitive and our scope is shaped around your project. Choose only what you need to suit your budget and in-house capabilities. Or let our turnkey service take care of everything: architectural design, cost management, project management, structural engineering, mechanical and electrical design, plus Principal Designer services. One team, one point of contact and a joined-up approach from first sketch to completion.
