HIIT: A Blend of Street Culture and Interior Design

Revolutionizing Urban Space with the Inspiration of the Roman Colosseum

Designed by Hihope Zhu, the HIIT Training Center is a unique blend of street culture and interior design, inspired by the grandeur of the Roman Colosseum. This innovative design has been awarded the Silver A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award in 2020, marking its excellence in creativity and innovation.

The HIIT Training Center is a testament to the power of inspiration. When Hihope Zhu first stepped into the blank room that would become the center, he was struck by a vision of the Roman Colosseum. Zhu saw parallels between the challenges of business competition in today's civilized world and the ancient Roman era. The design of the HIIT Training Center is a reflection of this vision, embodying the spirit of competition and the struggle against oneself.

What sets this design apart is its seamless integration of urban space indoors, breaking traditional boundaries and sparking new discussions about urban life and lifestyle in space design. The smooth lines and steady texture not only give the design rich layers but also represent the spiritual orientation and aesthetic interest of modern people. The design is a fusion of art and industrial style, achieved through the use of raw materials like metal and stone.

The layout of the HIIT Training Center is intensive and mobile, designed to meet functional requirements. The space is divided into various sections, including a water bar area, leisure area, classroom, changing room, physical examination room, gymnastics room, and VIP room. Each section is separated using ingenious virtual and real methods, creating a sense of contrast and conflict between dynamic and static elements.

The design of the HIIT Training Center was not without its challenges. The spatial efficiency was a core part of the project, requiring careful consideration of spatial layout and superposition use from the rational consumer demand. Despite these challenges, the design team, including Jane Fang and Jinbin Wu, successfully created a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Overall, the HIIT Training Center is a remarkable example of innovative design. It is a space that encourages its users to challenge themselves, to compete, and to strive for excellence. It is a space that is not just a training center, but a reflection of the spirit of competition and the struggle against oneself. With its unique blend of street culture and interior design, the HIIT Training Center is truly a revolutionary space.
