This project was a full commercial renovation in Hove, transforming an existing retail unit into a high-end Reformer Pilates studio designed specifically for commercial fitness use. Working closely with the client, our brief was to deliver a calm, functional and premium studio environment while upgrading the building’s infrastructure to suit modern commercial requirements.
The property was fully stripped back to allow for a complete internal reconfiguration. As part of the works, ceiling heights were raised to improve spatial quality, accommodate new services, and enhance the overall feel of the studio. This enabled the installation of new suspended ceilings, carefully coordinated lighting zones and improved acoustic performance throughout the space.
Significant upgrades were carried out to the building’s mechanical and electrical systems, including the servicing and adjustment of the air conditioning system to suit the new layout and studio usage. This ensured effective climate control for commercial fitness classes while maintaining a discreet and minimal visual appearance.
Internally, the studio was finished with durable, high-quality materials appropriate for a commercial environment. These included parquet-style LVT flooring, bespoke joinery elements and full mirrored walls to enhance light, symmetry and spatial flow. WC and changing room facilities were fully refurbished, incorporating clean, minimalist finishes aligned with the studio’s brand identity.
In addition to the internal fit-out, the external shopfront was restored and upgraded as part of the works, improving street presence and reinforcing the studio’s visibility within Hove. The completed project delivers a refined, contemporary commercial fitness space that balances functionality, longevity and design — and stands as a strong example of our commercial renovation work in Hove.
