Open Door Yoga Studio | Coconut Grove, FL

Project Overview

For the Open-Door Yoga Studio located in Grove Square, Coconut Grove, the interior build-out and construction would focus on optimizing the 1,396-square-foot space for functionality and aesthetics. Here’s a breakdown of the key areas:

Reception/Waiting Area: A welcoming entrance with calming design elements, minimalist furniture, and soft lighting to set the tone for the yoga experience.

Private Room: This space could be used for one-on-one sessions or as a meditation room. Soundproofing and serene decor would enhance the tranquility of this area.

Main Open Area: The largest portion of the studio, designed for group yoga classes, should feature durable, non-slip flooring, ample natural light, and excellent ventilation. Mirrored walls can be added for form correction and spaciousness.

Office/Storage Room: Functional and efficient, designed to hold essential equipment while providing workspace for management. Built-in storage would maximize space efficiency.

Spiral Staircase to Second Floor: Though the second floor is not in use yet, the spiral staircase acts as both a functional element and a design statement, allowing easy future expansion into the upstairs office.

Finishing touches like neutral colors, natural materials, and dimmable lighting would enhance the overall calming ambiance expected in a yoga studio.
