Studio design/Spatial Planning Services
Our Process: Tailored Studio Spatial Planning at Reformly
At Reformly, we pride ourselves on delivering carefully considered spatial designs that combine functionality with aesthetic appeal. Our process is designed to guide you step-by-step, ensuring that your Pilates studio (whether for commercial use or home practice) is both beautiful and efficient. Here’s how we work with you:
1. Initial Consultation
We start by understanding your vision, goals, and space requirements. Whether you’re opening a new studio or updating an existing one, we’ll discuss:
- The size and layout of your space
- Your brand identity and desired aesthetic
- Your target clientele and class structure
- Key features you want to include, like reformer beds, storage areas, reception, and waiting lounges
This initial conversation sets the foundation for everything we create, ensuring we align with your style and functional needs.
2. Custom Studio Layout Design
With the information gathered, our team begins working on your custom floor plan. We’ll create a layout that carefully positions:
- Reformer beds (based on your space and client needs)
- Reception areas for seamless client entry
- Waiting lounge or seating to create a relaxing experience
- Storage zones for equipment and props that keep your space tidy
We focus on space optimisation, ensuring flow between areas, appropriate client movement, and sufficient space for instructors to work comfortably. We also ensure that every area is thoughtfully arranged to maximise comfort, functionality, and safety.
3. Interior Concept Design
With the floor plan in place, we turn our attention to the aesthetic. Using our design expertise (Bachelor of Design), we help guide:
- Colour palette selection to align with your brand identity and create a calm, inviting atmosphere (e.g., neutral tones like soft greys, whites, and beiges)
- Material recommendations for flooring, finishes, and walls that reflect your desired feel (e.g., natural wood finishes, matte textures, etc.)
- Styling ideas for decor, including wall art, mirrors, lighting placement, and custom branding elements
We aim for a cohesive and elevated design that supports both the atmosphere and functionality of the space.
4. 2D CAD-Style Drawing Delivery
Once we have your layout and concept ready, we provide you with a 2D CAD-style drawing. This includes:
- Clear, detailed visual plans of your entire studio layout
- Precise measurements and equipment placement
- Zones marked for reception, reformers, storage, and lounge areas
This drawing is professionally formatted in a PDF or CAD-style format, which you can use for your fit-out team, builder, or stylist. It helps you visualise your space and provides all the information needed to bring it to life.
5. Functionality & Flow Recommendations
Our process doesn’t just focus on aesthetics — we ensure that your studio flows smoothly and works efficiently for both instructors and clients. Our team provides valuable functionality advice, including:
- How clients will move through the space, from entry to exit
- Optimal spacing between reformers to ensure safety and comfort
- Instructor walkways and sightlines for class management
- Storage placement to maintain a tidy, clean, and calming environment
- Advice on lighting, acoustics, and airflow to enhance the overall client experience
We make sure every detail contributes to a seamless and professional environment, ensuring your space is as functional as it is beautiful.
6. Final Adjustments and Collaboration
Once you receive your layout and design, we invite feedback and make any necessary adjustments. Whether you need to tweak the layout, adjust colours, or refine storage placements, we work collaboratively to ensure the final result is exactly what you need.
7. Bringing Your Vision to Life
With your completed design and layout in hand, you’ll be ready to move forward with the construction or fit-out process. If you need additional guidance, we can connect you with trusted contractors, builders, or stylists to help execute the plan.
At Reformly, we believe that your Pilates studio should be more than just a place to work out — it should be a space that feels welcoming, functional, and aligned with your brand. Our streamlined, collaborative process ensures that your studio is carefully designed and perfectly suited to your business needs.
Let us help you turn your dream Pilates studio into reality, with thoughtful design every step of the way.
