Smartass Warsaw is the first Smartass club on the Polish market, located in the modern center of Warsaw on the 0 floor of the luxury residential complex “Mennica Residence”. The club has a separate entrance from the street and covers an area of 900 m².

In designing this space, the Smartass Design team set out to not only create a club sports atmosphere, but also to introduce Polish audiences to Smartass's unique approach to healthy eating. Unfortunately, it was not possible to make a full-fledged restaurant in the chosen room according to the norms, so a new format was born - Smartass Cafe.

Smartass Cafe is an establishment with balanced and healthy fast food and drinks in a take-away format. The cafe is located at the front of the club, and the bar is the first point of contact for visitors.

The cafe area has four main parts: a bar and an area for issuing orders, bar tables, an area with sofas and a classic seating area. The design of the cafe is made in a combination of a cold shade of metal and warm shades of terracotta. The wavy metal panels blend harmoniously with the red clay porcelain in the kitchen and the open parts of the walls that have survived from the developer. To enhance the color harmony, the walls of the cafe are also painted in shades of terracotta.

The bar counter, the floor in the cafe area and the walls with sofas are decorated with elongated tiles, which adds rhythm to the space and clearly separates the cafe from the sports part of the club. Special attention is paid to lighting: wall sconces made of curved metal in combination with vertical LED tubes create a warm and cozy atmosphere.

The reception of the club is the second key point for visitors. Its design repeats the smooth shapes of the bar counter of the cafe. The black case made of painted MDF is decorated with LED lines that go from bright white to rich dark blue.

Opposite the reception is a minimalist merch area harmoniously integrated with wavy metal panels. The same panels serve as decor in the transit areas of the club, specifically in the corridors, complemented by mirrors and bra-tubes in blue and orange, which give the space a futuristic look. The corridors also have a drinking water area and towel racks.

The club offers five halls for group training: Barre, Boxing, Games, Reformer and Cycling. Each hall has a unique atmosphere that influences the emotional state of the clients thanks to colored lighting scenarios aimed at creating the right mood and supporting the training process.

After a workout, guests can recover in two massage rooms. Wall sconces and hidden furniture lighting are used to create the most relaxing atmosphere. Printed wallpaper with a branded design in light colors makes the space cozy and cozy.
