The Institute for Health Medical Center is located within the Terme di Chianciano and was established as a space dedicated to health, prevention, and functional recovery.
Originally managed by UPMC – University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, an international leader in the field of medicine and prevention, the center integrates medical services, physiotherapy, physical activity, and wellness programs into a person-centered well-being journey.
The facility combines a specialist approach with the thermal dimension of Chianciano, offering an environment dedicated to rehabilitation, movement, and body care, where physical activity, recovery, and prevention dialogue with the thermal spa experience.
The Client needed to create a gym within the Terme di Chianciano, in the province of Siena, dedicated to the innovative metabolic and cardiac rehabilitation program of the UPMC Institute for Health.
The project spans 5,920 sq ft and includes an equipment room, a group class studio, and a personal training room, organized to accommodate physical activity, functional recovery, and prevention programs.
The goal was to create a rehabilitation center far removed from the aseptic, medical image traditionally associated with healthcare environments, favoring a welcoming and refined atmosphere closer to the aesthetic of a fitness boutique.
The interior design starts with the UPMC brand’s purple color, harmonized with a palette of neutral tones. The spaces are characterized by black-and-white murals of movie stars who frequented the Chianciano Film Festival, introduced as a decorative element that establishes identity and a connection to the local area.
