About Whyte Woolf Fitness Club
Whyte Woolf is a fitness club interior located in Dalian. The project covers 1700 square meters inside a building with church form architecture. The original ceiling was fully preserved and then painted with murals that use anatomy as their subject, replacing traditional mythological scenes with a modern visual language. Terrazzo, steel plate, aluminium alloy and hollow sheet are the main materials. The intent is to keep the spirit of the traditional form while creating a clearly different interior experience.

Breakthroughs don't mean giving up traditional things, but retaining important parts to change.
