Third Space

www.thirdspace.london/

a London luxury-gym chain that frames fitness as culture, full-bleed cinematic photography of athletes in near-black studios lit by neon, a GTSectra serif display with the word "for" set in italic against Circular sans, and a single calm 0.3s opacity fade carrying a tall 6116px scroll of dark photographic cards.

Do / Don't

Reference it for

  • A premium, place-based brand (gym, spa, members' club, hospitality group) that needs to feel aspirational and editorial, not like a sign-up funnel.
  • A near-monochrome dark system: white and rgb(208,208,208) grey text over black / rgb(30,30,30) / rgb(42,42,42), with colour only ever borrowed from photography.
  • A serif-display + geometric-sans pairing (GTSectra-class serif at 300 weight, ~66/50/35px, with one word set in italic) over a Circular-class workhorse sans.
  • A single repeated dark card unit (16px radius, photo fill, pill tag top-left, circular "+" expander bottom-right) that carries clubs, classes and wellness across a 6116px scroll.
  • A restrained 0.3s opacity-fade discipline (cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)) that lets cinematic imagery, not motion theatre, set the pace.

Do not copy

  • GTSectra Fine and Circular are licensed retail faces; map to a high-contrast display serif (Canela, Ogg, GT Sectra alternatives) plus a geometric sans (Mona Sans, Geist, a Circular-class face you have a licence for).
  • The hero is a commissioned location shoot (credited @RichMaciverPhoto); the dark-gym-plus-neon look is load-bearing and bespoke, do not fake it with stock.
  • The "III" Roman-numeral mark and "THIRD SPACE" wordmark are brand identity; rebuild a client's own mark, do not borrow the lockup.
  • The full operator stack (WordPress Pegasus theme, HubSpot forms, CookieYes, Veriff ID, Adyen checkout, Google Maps club locator) is real plumbing for a multi-club business; borrow the dark editorial surface, not the integrations.
