Rhino Gym

Rhino Gym began with the reinterpretation of an existing structure composed of two independent halls separated by concrete walls and structural limitations. Rather than introducing a new spatial form, the project focused on redefining the relationships between the existing spaces and transforming them into a unified and legible environment. Carefully positioned openings were introduced into the concrete walls to establish a direct connection between the two halls, while a central core consisting of the reception, management office, staircase, and café became the main organizer of circulation and functionality. Within a neutral industrial setting, two red volumes emerge as the project's defining elements; independent masses that accommodate managerial and service functions while acting as spatial landmarks that enhance orientation and visual identity.
