Athletics Performance Center Santa Monica

The APC (Athletic Performance Center) has been set up by Red Bull to help athletes get a better understanding of how their body and mind works and also how if they change their habits, they can reach peak performance using the latest in R&D technology for physical and mental performance. The existing office facility in Santa Monica was repurposed for podium athletes, providing space for physical training, injury rehabilitation, and mental performance training.

Part of the DNA of the APC is a very distinctive architectural language, that was adapted to fit West Coast Culture. Black metal mesh, black metal, pine wood, black tartan and soaped elm give the new APC a unique sports look. Combined with cacti and local murals to create the characteristic West Coast look together with neon lights to speak to the inherent high energy output of athletes. Project Size: 1000m2
