Trio of L.A. Neighborhood Gyms Shares Sustainable Form
Koning Eizenberg’s design prototype creates three green city gyms
Over the last six years, California-based Koning Eizenberg has designed three green full-court gymnasiums in LA neighborhoods, all now open. Each gym shares sustainable design components, such as clerestory windows for natural light and colorful block patterns to prevent graffiti. The three green gyms are based on one prototype, with the third gym becoming a larger variation highlighted by the removal of pilasters for more open space.
