Ten Health and Fitness, Nine Elms
Common Ground Workshop has completed a striking project for one of London’s premier boutique fitness providers, delivering yoga and pilates studios in Nine Elms alongside PT and retail spaces across two levels at Embassy Gardens, by Ballymore.
Located prominently on the vibrant Union Square, this site marks the latest addition to the award-winning operator Ten Health and Fitness’s expanding portfolio, offering a unique health and lifestyle destination within this rapidly developing South-West London neighbourhood.
The design thoughtfully maximizes the existing double-height retail volume, centering the programme around a full-height atrium that acts as a dynamic focal point. The space seamlessly integrates retail PT areas, private therapy rooms, a Pilates studio, and male/female changing facilities, flowing naturally from the ground floor to the first-floor mezzanine level.
The material palette is deliberately minimal yet tactile, featuring warm maple wall panelling and glazed window framing that visually connects the two levels. These elements are accentuated with mid-green painted timber joinery and ceramic stone tiling, creating a calm and refined atmosphere. Natural light floods the interior through the central atrium, functioning as a lantern that illuminates and energizes the surrounding functional spaces.
