FF Studio
This project transforms a 500 sqm former factory into a contemporary dance centre, featuring three studios. The design reimagines the open-plan industrial shell, placing the reception and student lounge at the centre to optimise circulation, privacy, and natural light distribution throughout the space.
Adaptive Reuse with Light Strategy
Given the original space had only one façade of floor-to-ceiling windows, the design introduces central corridors and uses full-height glass partitions to bring natural light into each studio while maintaining visual separation. A refined material palette, like natural maple textures, warm-toned flooring, and artistically painted walls creates an atmosphere that is both elegant and dynamic.
