Equinox

Over fifteen years, the work focused on translating a single brand ethos across an expanding range of typologies. From clubs and hotels to workplaces and residences, each project explored how design could support self-improvement through performance, recovery, and connection. The culmination was Hudson Yards: a vertically integrated ecosystem where hospitality, fitness, work, and lifestyle converged in a single building.

Where it started, the clubs

Selected highlights

The foundation was the clubs. More than 70 locations developed over fifteen years became a living laboratory for the Equinox brand, testing how design could shape performance, recovery, community, and daily ritual.
