SportCity Wonderwoods + Utrecht

A nature-infused modern gym.

About the project

Where nature moves you

In the heart of Utrecht, SportCity finds its home in Wonderwoods, a vertical forest where 365 trees and over 75,000 shrubs and bushes climb toward the skyline. We wanted the interior design of SportCity to reflect the architecture outside of this so called 'Vertical Forest' by Stefano Boeri Architetti and MVSA Architects.

We are very proud to say that we have desigend nearly all SportCity locations across the Netherlands.

Green at heart

Warm wood tones run throughout the interior, picking up the colours of the trees and shrubs outside and translating the landscape into the space. Tactile finishes and softly rounded furniture forms add a sense of touch and comfort, as if the forest has quietly settled into every corner. Slender wooden fins line the walls and ceiling, rising vertically like trunks in a grove. They create depth, filter light and guide movement through the club.

Architecture, interior and greenery begin to move in the same rhythm, blurring the boundary between inside and out and allowing the club to feel like an extension of Wonderwoods itself.
