Yoga Studio

Design-Build Home Renovation

Challenges & Objectives

This project in Cabbagetown involved converting an existing mixed-use building into a stunning live/work yoga studio. The clients, both owners and teachers of the studio, envisioned a space that seamlessly blended their personal living area with a serene, functional yoga studio for their practice and teaching. Woodsmith Construction brought their vision to life, delivering a beautiful, tranquil space that the clients love.

This project required balancing the needs of a professional yoga studio with those of a comfortable living space:

 

  1. Multi-Purpose Design: Create a functional yoga studio and a cozy living area within the same building.
  2. Aesthetic and Atmosphere: Design a serene, calming environment that supports the yoga practice while integrating with the residential component.
  3. Efficient Use of Space: Maximize the utility of the existing mixed-use building to meet both personal and professional needs.
  4. Seamless Flow: Ensure a smooth transition between the live and work areas for a cohesive design.

 

Our objective was to deliver a space that supported the clients’ business while providing a beautiful and functional living environment.
