Lean Studio | PLANTEA

The space, located in a historic building in the center of Madrid, hosts an activity that requires isolation and calm within a noisy and chaotic environment.
Three areas can be distinguished: reception, changing rooms, and the dance studio.
In each of them, the materials, microcement and linoleum on the floors, lime paint and microcement on the walls, adapted to their respective functions, come together in a single color palette and create a sophisticated and serene atmosphere.
Several skylights recreate natural light, which is enhanced by wall sconces and lamps. The counter, mirror, shelves, sinks, fountain, benches, and other objects, carefully designed by Plantea, complete and reinforce the sought-after sense of tranquility, just as a flower completes the vase prepared to receive it.

"On some occasions, in this type of space, the architect’s intervention places the focus on the space itself. Materials are chosen in an attempt to construct a striking and memorable image. In our architecture, the inhabitant—the user—is always placed at the center. What is built becomes a neutral backdrop against which life, both physical and emotional condition, is, or at least is intended to be, in some way elevated. "(Lorenzo Gil Guinea, partner).
