Mood and ambience Two “markedly different yet personalised” changing areas for male and female members have been created by Craftsman Quality Lockers at Goodwood Health Club.
The company aimed to provide a specific mood and ambience rather than off-the-shelf solutions at the club, which is part of the Earl of March’s Goodwood estate in West Sussex.
The women’s changing area has been designed with a beach hut effect, using cool pastel shades, in contrast with the more ‘muscular’ black upholstery and metallic hues in the men’s changing room, according to Craftsman.
