Leisure & Fitness

Spaces built for wet, warm and heavy use

Fitness clubs, spas, golf and outdoor entertainment facilities.

Leisure buildings are technically demanding in ways that are invisible when they work. Humidity, ventilation, acoustics, heavy point loads from equipment and finishes that survive constant wet use all have to be designed for from the outset.

Member journey matters commercially: the route from entrance through changing to the gym floor determines whether a club feels busy or crowded at peak.

Our leisure work includes a fitness club, the spa hotel at Khorfakkan and a transformed outdoor entertainment area at Easton Golf Club in Norfolk.

BIID design stages

  1. 1

    Feasibility & Design Concept

    The objective of this phase is to evaluate the conceptual design requirements of the project, prepare and present design concepts for preliminary review and approval.

  2. 2

    Spatial Coordination

    The design concept is more developed and drawn from the approved preliminary concepts presented. Documents are prepared which include initial space and furniture plans, lighting concepts, and concept for colors, materials and finishes, and the selection of ideal furnishings.

  3. 3

    Technical Information & Documentation

    This phase is an extension where all architectural documents and preliminary furniture specification are prepared for approval and implementation. The following will be drawn to be incorporated in an architectural documentation package. The plans submitted are not intended to be architectural permit plans, which would be submitted to the Building Reg department. They are to be used by the client, contractors for design intent, non-structural layout, and fixture locations only.

  4. 4

    Furniture, Fixture, Equipment & Materials Purchasing

    In this part of the phase we will create all the purchase orders for the FF&E and materials from the specifications written and issue and track vendor production. We will purchase all FF&E for the project.

  5. 5

    Project Administration

    Coordinate and review drawings with contractors.; Maintain project schedules.; Review all bids and pricing.

Leisure & Fitness Design — Frequently Asked Questions

Do you design spa and wet areas?

Yes. Wet areas need a coordinated approach to tanking, drainage, ventilation and humidity control — it is the area where problems are most expensive to fix later.
