Thinking Outside the Box - FITHOME

Do you ever want to swing from a chandelier?  Imagine stainless steel bars with LED lights so you could swing from your living room to your kitchen, or go up and down your stairs. Why not? Design it so you can. Whatever your lifestyle, if you can imagine it, we can design and build it.
 
We often have special requests from clients to customize areas of the home to suit their lifestyle. Whether its a dumbwaiter in between kitchens or mirror TVs in the bath, mediation areas, secret passages or hiding sentimental messages in the graphics of room, we often need to "think outside the box" and be creative.
 
We put the task to our team members, if you could redesign the way we live, in any room, what would you do?  Partner,  Anthony Di Sarra, took on the challenge of the home gym...

After designing home gyms I’ve noticed that the location is always in the basement back corner or in garage sort of hidden. Why do we have to hide our exercising ways and equipment? I believe fitness should be focal point and most relevant design features in a home alongside structural elements.Why does it have to be in a room in the basement? How could we incorporate it throughout the home and make fitness a part of everyday life?

 

Imagine if......

• Couches  doubled as a gluts hamstring developer, shoulder press, arm station, front leg curl and reverse, bands can be used for resistance training, all from the comfort of your living room.
• Hide a cable crossover unit in the walls so hundreds of exercises are at your disposal.
• Add a leg press or hack squat station as a piece of furniture? We are more inclined to exercise when all we have to do is get up. Going to the gym takes dedication which most people lack, so bring the gym to you? Health comes first.
• Install a rug sized treadmill in front of kitchen sink or stove which can be set at a snail paced walk vs standing in one spot “still” and adding pressure on all joints while washing dishes or cooking.
• Have us design a pivot mechanism with hydraulic lift on your bed so it can be used as an inversion table which will strengthen back and legs also alleviating stress and pain on our brains and lower back. 

All it takes is a little imagination, and design expertise - we can do anything!
