Working it all out...

There’s no denying that life has changed for many of us over the last couple of years, and our day-to-day needs are different now to ever before. The same can be said about what we need from our homes, which have become far more dynamic spaces than we have previously required. Where working-from-home became the norm, so did working-out, and we have been creatively weaving fitness & well-being into so many of our recent residential projects. Following the temporary closure of gyms, spas and pools last year, many people have decided to continue their new fitness routines at home. The demand for home gym and spa installations has soared, and we love to see it! From fully equipped gyms to home saunas, lagoon pools to yoga & meditation rooms - FOC has been tasked with creating just about everything wellness related. Whether you’re an early morning yogi or a night-swimmer, where better to fulfill your fitness needs than in the comfort of your own home?

At FOC, we believe that your home is your sanctuary - a place to relax, recharge and take care of yourself. This principle underpins everything that we design, and this theme should carry through your whole property. Each room and every element within should be carefully considered to meet all of your personal needs; practical and luxurious, functional and beautiful. From enriching culinary spaces to soft, serene bedrooms where you can get the perfect night’s sleep - your home should take care of you too. When it comes to health & well-being, where better to start than in your very own fitness suite? Garden Gym, Plunge Pool or Spin Studio; if you want it - FOC can make it happen.

There are many factors to consider of course, when planning a home gym. A primary concern for many is a lack of space - we understand that not everyone has a whole room that can be dedicated to this end. This is where our creativity comes out to play - utilising the space you have available cleverly and ‘thinking outside the box room’ is our specialty. We work with what you have, from garages to gardens to maximise the efficiency of the space you have and make your home work for you. For a lot of people, the notion of exercising at home stirs up images of a drab, windowless room in the basement, or a treadmill in front of the T.V. that sometimes doubles as a clotheshorse, and that is why many people dismiss the idea. We believe that every space should be beautiful and purposeful - your wellbeing should not be an afterthought, and we aim to create something special every time. Enhancing your focus and motivation is key to keeping fit, therefore considering important interior design factors such as lighting, air flow, flooring, sound and ambience, as well as architectural factors like ceiling height and aspect have a potentially great impact on your workout routine, and all of these things can be perfected to your desire with a gym in your home. From glittering grout in your pool to add some sparkle to your swim, to stylish soundproofing panels in your spin studio; balancing aesthetic with function is the basis of good design. Exercise is challenging enough, so we want you to love the space that you’re doing it in! 

Now, if just reading about working out exhausts you, maybe relaxation & meditation is more your style? why not explore the idea of a luxurious lagoon pool? We work with a wide range of suppliers who can help create a perfectly natural looking oasis with breezy palms, or an outdoor sauna so you can be at one with nature while you melt your cares away. It doesn’t have to be all hard work, and we have a stunning solution for all of your well-being wants.
