The new 50,000sq ft Third Space Islington club opened its doors to members in January.

The club will be Third Space’s first family offering with a crèche, children’s play, children’s Natural Fitness Food, as well as two children’s studios.

The location of the facility in a sub basement (approx 11m underground) made the logistics of the project extremely challenging. The majority of the building materials were dropped into site via a small 3m x 1.5m hole or via a small goods lift.

Technical issues centred around the waterproofing of the 2 pools as well as maintaining the tanking system installed by the landlord to retain the ground water.

The finished product has been well received by the client, as well as by the 3000 members who signed up in anticipation of the stunning new facility.
