Construction on this first FitSpace home is nearly complete. As an architect and endurance athlete, I've designed several prototype homes that merge architecture and interior design with active living. This project is a realization of this conceptual approach to design. The owners of this home are exceptional distance runners, currently running a marathon every month. In addition, they've completed many ultra-running events and are Ironman triathletes. For clients like these, an 'off-the-shelf' house just doesn't work. The design relates to an overall context mapping that identifies running, cycling, rowing, swimming, and other training opportunities. The home includes spatial organization and relationships that encourage range of motion, strength and flexibility. The house also incorporates equipment storage solutions and addresses the transition from rest to workout.
