LS3P 

Location: Charlotte, NC

This addition and renovation project for an iconic Y unified a series of ad hoc renovations and clarified the sprawling existing circulation. A double-height central spine creates a light-filled, open gallery and visually connects the major activity spaces. The overall aesthetic is simple, clean, and modernist, with references to the neighborhood’s historic brick mills and industrial buildings; the design retains exposed brick, wood, and concrete structural elements wherever possible, and voluminous, flexible spaces accommodate evolving needs as fitness trends change over time. A rooftop track and training space with skyline views has become a popular workout and meeting destination.
