In this project, I was asked to suggest design improvements for Meilahden Liikuntakeskus and Unisport Meilahti. The goal was to make the spaces work better without changing the building structure too much. I focused mainly on two areas: the reception and the changing rooms.
My design was based on three main ideas: clarity, functionality, and inclusivity. I tried to keep the spaces simple and easy to use while also making sure they felt welcoming for everyone. The client approved the design, and it’s now planned to be built and used in the actual space.
