Afterglow Yoga Studio.
Health and fitness in The Beaches
Located in the Beaches neighbourhood of Toronto, Afterglow is more than just a yoga and fitness studio.
The design of the space focuses on community, health, mindfulness, and inspiration, by creating an open and inviting, light-filled environment for visitors to relax, exercise, and unwind. There are even community spaces to hang out before and after classes: a tea bar, retail space, and lounge area.
The material palette combines the natural and the modern, to create a bright, welcoming, and natural environment. Sustainable features include materials that are recycled and do not off-gas, efficient lighting, reversible ceiling fans with natural cross-ventilation, and on-demand water heating.
With its friendly and knowledgeable owners, great location, and welcoming design, Afterglow Yoga Studio promises to be a staple in the Beaches area for years to come.

From the client
“Working with Paul and Steve was an amazing experience. It was seamless, even though some of the timing with the city or landlords didn’t always go as planned. I would highly recommend them for any architecture as well as design”
