Designing a multisensory wellness environment

In Toronto’s East End, Solis Movement has opened a new studio, offering a refined setting for high-intensity hot yoga and Reformer Pilates.
Designed by boutique firm Simone Ferkul Projects, from the moment one steps inside, they are greeted with a skylight carved into the ceiling.
The studio features a palette of warm, sun-washed neutrals. A monolithic reception desk anchors the open lobby, with soft, illuminated niches that integrate into the custom millwork.

The Reformer Pilates studio opens as a light-filled volume, framed by expansive perimeter windows that bring daylight into the space. Sculpted ceiling details and warm, sun-washed finishes match the material palette of the rest of the studio.
Designed for high-intensity practice, the hot yoga studio, known as the Sun Room, features infrared heating panels in the ceiling.
The result of Simone Ferkul Projects’ efforts is a studio that feels both grounded and elevated; a place where calm and discipline coexist.
