Opened in 2018, Paramount Recreation Club is the opposite of a musty old gym. A playful rooftop landscape puts leisure at the heart of wellness.

Mala designed a series of outdoor and indoor fitness and food spaces, working closely with Architects Herbert & Mason and place strategists Rightangle. Pavilions, furniture, terrazzo paving and shallow-profile rooftop planting come together as a vibrant escape from the city streets below. A field of custom parasols tip their hat to the Californian heritage of the former Paramount Pictures 1940s headquarters, now home to Paramount House Hotel, Golden Age Cinema and PCP Coffee amongst others.
