ANYK Design Blends Luxury and Sweat for Prestigious Sitaras Fitness Facility

January 29, 2007 (New York, NY): ANYK, renowned New York-based Interior Architecture & Design firm, announces the completion and grand opening of Sitaras Fitness in Midtown Manhattan. ANYK blends modern utility and refined contemporary luxury to achieve owner and fitness expert John Sitaras’ vision for this stylish training facility.

The ANYK team, lead by principals Anurag Nema and Orit Kaufman, was commissioned by Sitaras to create a “no frills” environment that focused on serious exercise yet evoked a sense of understated elegance to appeal to his upscale, professional clientele. To achieve this, ANYK combined a clean, modern design with a rich palette of materials: chocolate-brown oak, deep cream colors, textured porcelain tiles, light blue glass accents and blue leather seating. “The main exercise floor has clean lines, natural light and open ceilings, to encourage clients to focus on the equipment and task at hand, the workout,” Nema explains. “The locker rooms and reception areas provide a sense of luxury and sophistication.”

While sophisticated materials and top of the line equipment were used throughout the entire facility, ANYK also placed additional amenities in the ladies’ locker room to give Sitaras’ female clientele a little extra pampering. Recessed banquette seats wrapped in soft blue leather and separated by solid wood lockers provide a comfortable, private refuge after a tough workout session.

“The space had to match the constant reach for perfection and dedication to personal improvement that is shared by Sitaras and his clients,” Nema states. “We combined a design that focused on form and function with materials of the highest quality and elegance to give the Sitaras Fitness facility a feeling of luxurious functionality.”
