THE DESIGN CHASER

Basecamp Power Yoga by Studio 11:11

2.21.2020

For their lastest interior design project, Melbourne-based Studio 11:11 have transformed an Auckland, inner-city warehouse into a warm and inviting meeting ground for Basecamp Power Yoga. Celebrating the rawness of the existing architecture, merging old with new, Studio 11:11 have created a unique yoga studio with character; a perfectly imperfect space to practice.


Exploring Basecamp’s philosophy of creating a solid foundation in life, Studio 11:11 translated this into the architecture. Rising up from the ground level and aligning perfectly with the central axis of the existing roofline, a staircase leads up to the main studio representing a physical elevation. This transition zone allows the members to mentally and physically make the journey up to their mats for a heightened and focused experience.


Uneven and rough textures were used to form a perfect marriage between the existing and new built elements. Washed timber and textured wall render create an essential yet tactile palette, whilst exposed off-form concrete walls and custom hot-rolled steel elements bring a grounding strength back into this power yoga studio. Natural cork lines the main studio floor, bringing a warmth and softness to the surface under body during yoga practise, demonstrating a deep understanding of the impact of the built environment on our wellbeing.


Collaborating with local metal craftsman, SaintLeo, to create a sculptural coat rack, this provides a central focus in the beautiful entry space. A large raw basalt rock lies at the base with the seamless insertion of steel emerging from the natural stone to create a refined yet abstract furniture piece.


I love that this natural, raw feel carries through to the decor with rustic ceramics and textural furniture pieces. There's also a beautiful connection to the outdoor areas. Studio 11:11 have created an environment alive with tactility and natural materials whilst keeping the strength and gym-like foundations that reflect Basecamp’s core values of resilience, empowerment & adventure.
