The design by Taller de Arquitectura y Dise\u00f1o, led by Daniela Bucio Sistos, draws from the name \u2018ROCA,\u2019 using mineral tones and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/marble-and-stone-design\/\">stone<\/a><\/strong> materials as the primary language while incorporating lighter elements that reflect movement and fluidity.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/facades\/\">facade<\/a><\/strong> is defined by granite, marked by an incision shaped as the pilates studio\u2019s logo. Entry occurs through an opening, leading visitors into a reception space anchored by a large piece of Michoac\u00e1n cantera stone. This stone element extends through the lobby, where it transforms into a bar finished with tile, creating the impression of a mineral embedded within rock. The reception contrasts solidity with lightness through the use of fabric curtains that span much of the space. Their movement introduces softness and dynamism, evoking the qualities of Pilates practice.<\/p>\n<p>all images courtesy of Taller de Arquitectura y Dise\u00f1o<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Mineral tones and stone define the material palette<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/tallerad.mx\/\">design team<\/a><\/strong> at Taller de Arquitectura y Dise\u00f1o organizes the program into four main areas. The lobby includes a bar that serves both as a hostess station and caf\u00e9, complemented by a communal seating area and integrated restroom core. The practice spaces consist of three rooms, one for mat exercises, one for Cadillac equipment, and one for reformers, each designed for specific training requirements.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Circulation is defined by a wide corridor that connects the reception with the studios. This passage benefits from natural light provided by preexisting windows. Circular openings are introduced along the corridor\u2019s wall to align with structural bays, generating a visual rhythm and strengthening the relationship between interior and light. On the opposite side, the wall transitions into a half-vaulted ceiling, creating a sense of enclosure. Each studio entrance is framed by a border of tile and accented by a line of light, reinforcing continuity and guiding users through the space. ROCA Pilates Studio establishes a dialogue between the permanence of stone and the transience of fabric, balancing weight and lightness while creating an environment suited to both practice and community.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>ROCA Pilates Studio is located in Morelia, Michoac\u00e1n, Mexico<\/p>\n<p>the project reimagines an existing structure as a Pilates studio<\/p>\n<p>Taller de Arquitectura y Dise\u00f1o, led by Daniela Bucio Sistos, designed the space<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the concept draws on the name \u2018ROCA,\u2019 meaning rock<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>mineral tones and stone define the material palette<\/p>\n<p>light fabric curtains contrast with the solidity of stone<\/p>\n<p>curtains introduce softness and movement into the space<\/p>\n<p>circular openings align with the structural bays to create rhythm<\/p>\n<p>tile cladding carries the mineral texture into the internal spaces<\/p>\n<p>each entrance is framed with tile and illuminated by a line of light<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>three dedicated practice rooms accommodate mat, Cadillac, and reformer exercises<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0ROCA Casa de Pilates<\/p>\n<p><strong>architects: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/tallerad.mx\/\">Daniela Bucio Sistos \u2013 Taller de Arquitectura y Dise\u00f1o<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/danielabsistos\/\">@danielabsistos<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Morelia, Michoac\u00e1n, Mexico<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/granite-fabric-interplay-solidity-fluidity-roca-pilates-studio-mexico-taller-de-arquitectura-diseno-daniela-bucio-sistos-09-07-2025\/\">granite and fabric shape an interplay of solidity and fluidity at roca pilates studio in mexico<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ROCA reimagines an existing structure as a Pilates studio \u00a0 Located in Morelia, Michoac\u00e1n, Mexico, ROCA Pilates Studio is a renovation project that integrates architectural expression with the practice of Pilates.
