A Hidden World of Movement Behind a Minimal Box
Category: Home / Fitness
Location: Samutprakarn
Area: 300 Sq.m.
Year: 2022
I’M FLY STUDIO was developed from a challenging architectural brief—defined by strict setback regulations and limited openings. These constraints required precise planning of circulation, service zones, and spatial layout to minimize wasted space while still delivering an engaging and dynamic experience.
Because Yoga Fly is all about movement, energy, and playfulness, the space had to reflect that spirit—without compromising architectural discipline.
Why Renovate Instead of Rebuild?
It’s about the value of place.......
This project began with an existing house on a compact 200 sq.m. plot, with a requirement to integrate:
An Aerial Yoga Studio
A 2-bedroom residence
At first glance, it seemed almost impossible. But with the right design strategy, every constraint became an opportunity.
Planning
The core challenge was managing setback distances efficiently.
The solution:
Minimize openings where unnecessary
Allocate service areas (toilets, storage) in closed zones
Open views strategically where spatial quality matters most
Design circulation that is compact yet intuitive
Concept: “Circus in the Box”
Yoga Fly is expressive, acrobatic, and full of life.
We translated this into the idea of a “Circus in the Box.”
Exterior: A minimal, modern box—calm and restrained
Interior: A hidden world of performance, movement, and excitement
Subtle hints are revealed through façade textures and the southern stair volume—suggesting that something unexpected lies within.
Exterior Design
The exterior is intentionally quiet and minimal, acting as a container.
Textural details and the stair façade serve as visual clues—hinting at the energy inside without fully revealing it.
1st Floor | Arrival & Service Layer
Parking for 4 cars
Staircase positioned along the south side to maximize setback efficiency
Solid wall design helps reduce heat gain
The staircase becomes a sculptural element:
Cantilevered steps
Steel rods resembling “suspension ropes”
A lion-head sculptural light marks the beginning of the interior narrative
Kitchen / Relax Zone
A show kitchen designed as a small chef’s tableConnected to a piano / relaxation areaFlexible partitioning allows both open and private use
2nd Floor | Performance Space
The entrance begins with a vaulted waiting area, creating a transitional moment before entering the main space.
Patterned tiles + arched doors
Subtle Romanesque atmosphere
Inside, a 5.50-meter double volume space unfolds:
Functions as a “performance arena”
Playful wall design and arched openings
Flexible glass room for yoga, dance, and private classes
Dynamic lighting enhances movement and mood
Mezzanine | Social & Underground Atmosphere
A mezzanine level overlooks the main studio:
Designed as a social and relaxation space
Vaulted ceilings with tile and stone finishes
Creates an underground, immersive atmosphere
The highlight:A dramatic staircase connecting to the third floor—a visual moment often described as a “Stairway to Heaven.”
3rd Floor | Private Living Space
A calm contrast to the energy below:
Modern, minimal design
Grey-black palette with muted teal accents
Warmth introduced through teak wood flooring
Clean-lined furniture with dark wood textures
Construction Reality
Work-in-progress phases confirm that the concept translates seamlessly into built form:
Curved geometries
Material textures
Spatial planning aligned with the original vision
Key Takeaways for Multi-Level Yoga / Fitness Studios
Always verify setback, openings, and ventilation constraints first
Plan circulation and service zones efficiently to maximize usable space
The pre-class experience (waiting area) is as important as the studio itself
Movement-based spaces must consider:
Ceiling height
Structural support points
Anti-slip flooring
Comfortable, non-glare lighting
