LIFE TIME
RIVER NORTH
An unparalleled healthy living resort destination in the heart of Chicago, IL - Opened February, 2022
where luxury meets lifestyle
The most complex design project in the history of Life Time’s portfolio - An eighth and ninth floor experience closely coordinated and integrated into the new construction of the fifth tallest tower in the Chicago skyline.
From fitness to pools, to dining and spa experiences, from lounges to offices, mechanical and operating spaces, this 126,000sf space included all of Life Time’s primary programs.
Playing off the aesthetic of the building’s architecture, this project showcased how Life Time can do more with less - Following a brand update and finish reduction, this design was an example of how Life Time can evolve and elevate its design standards to meet the desires of the environment.
LIFE TIME

where urban meets rejuvenation
Life Time Dumbo is a unique boutique health and wellness experience, intentionally crafted as a destination in the Front and York development in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY.
The design provides a serene member experience in the heart of a bustling city, inspired by the sleek modern design of the development itself, and the grit of its surrounding cityscape and urban setting.
The unique floor plan and space provided a multitude of design and coordination challenges for Life Time’s standard planning and programming, but in the end, the member experience and amenities were uncompromised.
