Love and Other: A Modern and Exquisite Pilates Studio

Transforming Lives Through Fitness and Style

Inspired by the transformative power of love and the desire to create a unique fitness experience, Yong Zhang, the renowned designer behind Touch Design, has crafted a one-of-a-kind Pilates studio in Tianjin. Breaking away from the conventional gym design, Love and Other is a fusion of primitive, natural, and modern elements, offering a space that not only strengthens the body but also uplifts the spirit.

The uniqueness of Love and Other lies in its meticulous attention to detail and the use of exquisite materials. Stainless steel, known for its elegance and durability, takes center stage in the design, creating a sleek and contemporary ambiance. The exposed white ceilings and panDOMO floor further enhance the studio's modern aesthetic, providing a serene and inviting atmosphere for trainers.

Spanning 300 square meters, Love and Other is more than just a fitness center. It encompasses various areas dedicated to rest, dressing, storage, and even a vegetarian beverage section. The thoughtful inclusion of these spaces ensures that visitors not only engage in physical exercise but also find solace and relaxation amidst their training sessions.

One of the standout features of Love and Other is the clever use of mirrors. Strategically placed on necessary walls, these super-sized mirrors amplify the sense of space and create a visually captivating experience. The reflection of the mirrors adds depth and intensity to the entire studio, making every workout session an immersive and empowering journey.

Throughout the design process, Yong Zhang and the Touch Design team faced numerous challenges. However, their unwavering commitment to creating a space that exudes light and brightness led them to overcome these obstacles. The result is a Pilates studio that not only looks pristine but also radiates a sense of energy and vitality.

Love and Other was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2020, recognizing its outstanding creativity and ingenuity. This accolade is a testament to the studio's ability to seamlessly blend art, science, design, and technology, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for its patrons.

Step into Love and Other, and experience a Pilates studio like no other. Let the power of fitness and style transform your body and uplift your soul.
