Project: New leisure centre for hotel
Location: Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

The new health and fitness club provides leisure facilities for hotel residents and 800 club members; following successful completion, the project formed the basis for a standard accommodation brief for leisure centre design for Queens Moat Houses: the first five centres were completed during 1998.

The striking use of materials and colour to ensure a strong visual impact is balanced by a compact scale and maximum use of transparent enclosures. Internally, the club includes a swimming pool, spa bath, sauna and steam rooms, a gymnasium, an aerobics studio, sun beds and beauty treatment rooms.
