Architects Studio C102 have completed the fit-out of the first 8,000sqft 1Rebel, a new luxury boutique brand of gyms located in St Mary’s Axe, London. Originally conceived as an office, the building has been stripped down and reconfigured into a contemporary, industrial space which is balanced in luxury and theatrical glamour.

Spread across two floors Studio C102 began by exposing the architectural elements of the building to reveal the concrete ceiling, ductwork and pipes. This unfinished look sits alongside reclaimed industrial light fittings from a communist-era Polish ceramics factory and a 1960’s German cargo ship, and is mixed with unembellished raw materials such as unsealed steel which over time will gain a rusty patina.

The shop front entrance to the gym stands at street level and leads you to the reception area and retail zone, where luxury sportswear hangs from a bespoke Kee-Klamp clothes rail which snakes its way from the ceiling to the floor. A Roots & Bulbs juice bar, designed by k-studio is situated at the entrance and provides welcome refreshments for the gyms’ guests.
