Masquespacio presents its latest design for King Kong Club, the studio’s first project in Salzburg, Austria.


The project was a commission to design the new generation fitness club, which focuses on four different group workout concepts: LIFT, the strength-training concept; RUSH, the bootcamp-based HIIT concept; BAGS, the boxing-focused concept; and finally FLOW, the yoga based training concept.


Max Schirnhofer, the founder of King Kong Club, had the initial idea to open a new club that was inspired by a mix of 80s techno style and Cyberpunk. In addition to these aesthetics, Masquespacio proposed incorporating more hints of futurism that is oriented to the modern building itself, adding an innovative and sophisticated touch to the space. The result is a façade showcasing an impactful play of lights which catches the attention of every passer-by, whilst the interior invites you in to discover more and creates a feeling of stepping into the future. The reception, which sits at the entrance, connects directly to the bar and hangout area behind it, composed of a range of seats and pots that were custom-made out of air conditioning pipes.


Take in the view as you walk up the stairs to the first floor where the training rooms are situated. The glow of neon lights shine out from the doors along the corridors, guiding you to the real action. In the four workout rooms, we dive straight into the world of retro 80s techno clubs and get that Cyberpunk feeling. Once your training is complete, you move into the changing rooms where, once again, you get the feeling of stepping into the future. 


In conclusion, the new King Kong Club in Salzburg continuously plays with a contrast between the future and the retro neon world from the 80s, taking its community on a vibrant and singular journey from the moment they arrive until the moment they leave.

Masquespacio presenta su último diseño para King Kong Club, su primer proyecto en Salzburgo, Austria.


El proyecto que consiste en el diseño de un gimnasio de nueva generación con que se enfoca en 4 diferentes conceptos de entrenamiento: LIFT, entrenamiento de fuerza, RUSH, basado en el concepto HIIT, BAGS, enfocado en el boxeo y FLOW para el yoga, inicia desde el deseo de su fundador Max Schirnhofer de abrir su nuevo club inspirado en las discotecas de techno de los años 80 y el ciberpunk. Además, Masquespacio le propuso llevar esa línea estética con un toque futurista que le pudiera aportar al espacio un aire más innovador y sofisticado.


Así la fachada ya nos crea un impactante juego de luces, mientras que el interior te atrae a entrar y descubrir lo que ocurre en el espacio, generándote la sensación de estar entrando en el futuro. La recepción que se encuentra aquí conecta directamente con el bar trasero que se compone de una serie de asientos y maceteros diseñados a medida de tubos de aire acondicionado.


Subimos por las escaleras a la primera planta en la que se encuentran las salas de entrenamiento. Luces neón que empiezan a aparecer en el pasillo te llevan a la verdadera acción. Aquí en las salas de boxeo, entrenamiento HIIT y yoga es donde hemos entrado en el mundo de las discotecas de techno y el ciberpunk de los años 80. Después de finalizar el entrenamiento en los vestuarios volvemos a entrar a un mundo futurista.


Podemos concluir aquí como el nuevo club de King Kong en Salzburgo juega continuamente con ese contraste entre el futuro y el mundo ciberpunk techno de los 80 llevando a su comunidad a vivir una experiencia vibrante y singular.
