2. CONCEPT
WARRIOR ONE STUDIO, BY GOLDEN
The studio founder said of the design, ““I wanted
the space to resonate with shavasana, and give
a person a sense of calmness and grounding
through the visual and physical elements in the
space,” (Levy, N. 2020). Here Studio is decorated
with white calming walls and an abundance of
gridded store space, perfect for the necessary
yoga equipment – A technique I will be Mirroring
in Feeling O’Canine The Now Studio features
Anthracite coated surfaces and black wooden
floors, creating a “cosy/cocoon-like” space perfect
for meditation of hot yoga.
Warrior one Studio based in Melbourne, was
designed by Interior design Firm who in designing
the space were inspired by the ocean. The yoga
studio features muted tones like those in the design
for Feeling O’Canine to encourage a connection to
the earth. The space focuses on texture, creating
a sensory experience through the feeling of the
materials used as opposed to the look of them.
This is due to yoga being centred around how the
poses and posturers feel to the individual and not
how they look to others. This is a concept that
could work well in feeling o canine due to dogs
being colour blind it is the other senses that will
have more effect on their experience in the space.
The design is fitted with day beds to encourage full
relaxation before and after yoga classes, I like the
concept behind this and like the idea of the users
of the space having several options of how they
want to sit and what type of experience they want
it to be (de Klee, K. 2018).

The concertina doors, can be used to open up the
space or secure it, a technique that I would like
to mimic with the outside, allowing the doors to
open to the outside becoming an indoor/outdoor
space, giving occupants choice of where to sit. I
have shown in Figure 30, the 24 metre long bench
with is located in the changing room and described
as the backbone of the building.
