Modo Yoga – Hot Yoga Studio

Brand identity and research drove our iterative design process for this sustainable hot yoga studio in Portland, Oregon.

Modo Yoga Portland hired Propel Studio to design their new commercial tenant interior in an existing mixed-use building. Utilizing the Modo Yoga branding and drawing inspiration for the movement and flow of yoga poses lead to the curvilinear pattern of the 75′ long feature wall installation. The wall is multi-functional, acting as signage and identity for the studio, while offering functional elements like retail display, seating, the front reception area, and vertical gardens.

The studio is based on an ethos of sustainability and this came through in our commercial interior design in a variety of ways. We specified sustainably harvested and locally sourced wood where available. Low flow fixtures were used in the locker rooms. Radiant heating panels efficiently provide heat in the studios, while energy efficient lighting was used throughout. The large living room in the front of the studio makes use of abundant daylight through the storefront windows to Grand Avenue.
