YUMEA
Pilates Studio
Yumea goes beyond the traditional definition of a Pilates studio to offer a space that truly converses with the senses. Designed as a seamless journey, the architecture guides the body and mind through a transition from deep relaxation to active power, using the principles of neuro-architecture to shape how the environment is felt.
Upon entering, the space acts as a decompression chamber. The harshness of the city fades away, replaced by organic curves and fluid lines that instinctively signal safety to the brain. We balanced the grounding weight of green granite and marble with the warmth of wood to create an atmosphere that feels both solid and soft. In the lounge areas, light filters through linen fabrics and suspended furniture seems to defy gravity, creating a sense of levitation that helps lower stress levels immediately.
Moving into the practice zones, the design becomes a tool for focus. In one area, rippling fabric ceilings mimic the flow of water, synchronizing the architecture with the body’s movement, while elsewhere, immersive nature-inspired murals help reduce mental fatigue. The experience peaks in a studio drenched in monochrome terracotta. This bold use of warm, saturated color isn't just aesthetic; it shifts the perception of the room to energize the space and boost physical vitality. At Yumea, every texture and beam of light is chosen to help align the body and the mind.
