54 D IN MANHATTAN- GYM

The ambitious collaboration between design architect Thirwall, and Mija Architecture, the executive architect.

Mija Architecture LLC played a pivotal role in the successful realization of the 54D fitness gym project. Their collective expertise and seamless coordination were instrumental in bringing the project to life.

The gym on West 25th Street in Manhattan marked 54D’s inaugural location in a multi-story building and a high-density urban area. This site served as a prototype for future similar locations. Despite facing restrictions imposed by the landlord, the architect managed to maintain the existing full-height glazed storefront exterior wall, thereby enabling clear views into the studio space and establishing a prominent presence within the neighborhood.

Mija Architecture and Thirwall collaborated closely to develop construction details that effectively contained noise within the studio. This ensured compliance with the stringent sound transmission regulations of the New York City Building Code.

Upon entering the gym, visitors are greeted by a glass and aluminum frame storefront that leads into an initial 850-square-foot lobby area. This area encompasses a reception desk, a small merchandising section, and a social area. Two double-loaded corridors extend from the lobby, leading to the 2,500-square-foot training room at the rear. The right corridor features recovery and massage rooms equipped with Human Touch massage chairs and Game Ready hot and cold compression boots. Along the left corridor, a glass-walled manager’s office faces the lobby, while nutritionists’ offices, locker rooms, and a media room for member interviews and progress reviews are thoughtfully integrated.
