"We design rooms people actually train in."
A $38K valuation lift on every unit.
Meridian Custom Homes — 14-unit spec development, Southlake
Meridian had been finishing basements as generic "bonus rooms." We respecified three distinct training configurations across the development — a strength-focused layout, a mobility and recovery suite, and a compact cardio bay — each calibrated to the 900–1,100 sq ft available. The appraisers came back with consistent $38K premiums per unit over comparables without designed gym spaces.
"I used to specify a gym and hope the client used it. Now I specify a Forge room and know they will."
An 11×14 spare room became a fully programmed studio.
Holloway Architectural Studio — Private residence, Cherry Creek
The brief was a guest room that "also has some fitness equipment." After a movement assessment of the client — a 52-year-old orthopedic surgeon who trains five days a week — we specified a strength and mobility layout using ceiling-mounted suspension anchors, a compact power rack on wheels, and recessed equipment storage behind flush-panel cabinetry. The guest bed folds into the wall. The room now has a 96% weekly utilization rate.
"The $38K per unit isn't marketing copy. It's what the appraiser put in writing, twice."
200 units. One specification. Zero compromises.
Vantage Group Residential — Brickell high-rise, Phase I & II
Vantage needed a fitness amenity package that would differentiate their Brickell tower from three competing developments within two blocks. Rather than a shared gym floor, we designed a per-unit "wellness closet" specification — a 6×9 pass-through zone off the primary suite that could be configured as a recovery station, a compact strength bay, or a meditation and movement space depending on the unit type. The feature is now in the sales brochure as a named amenity: The Forge Bay.
