A contemporary personal training studio in the heart of old Franklin Village… Kim Dent x Campion Platt x Casey Levy collaborated on a tailored mix of restored details while incorporating the modernity of the present. The team and Driven founder Lisa Macdonald honored the space’s treasured past with minimal facade changes, maintaining the street’s old-fashioned charm.
Prior to the brownstone’s full interior redesign, Kim collaborated with Lisa back when the fitness studio started upstairs. Lisa aimed to create a studio to comfort rather than intimidate: Kim took on this challenge by creating a light-filled environment that mimicked the comfort of one’s own home. She restored the Franklin brownstone’s tin ceiling tiles and farmhouse wood floors…
The massive success of the studio thereafter led to Lisa taking over the whole building. The second phase redesign brought in Campion’s architectural expertise, with an open floor-plan reception, training area, and cerused wooden lockers. A Pilates room, massage spa, and infrared sauna are among the gems of this serene space.
Concept boards for work in progress.
