Extra rooms, basements or attics are ideal places to create small working out spaces or re-balancing yoga studios. With creativity, these “home gyms” can be fitted in private corners and flow with the surrounding rooms. Arcbazar, a Cambridge-based start-up company, offers an easy, affordable and convenient way to create beautiful and functional exercise rooms and helps homeowners make the best of small spaces.

Arcbazar addresses this home challenge by crowdsourcing architectural design. Every project is launched online and designers worldwide compete and submit solutions for the space. Homeowners around the globe are using Arcbazar for successful home remodeling, commercial and interior design projects. “We are bringing affordable but competitive high-quality design to small-scale home remodeling projects. Clients have used our website for renovating kitchens, bathrooms, basements, living paces, or just redoing hardscape and landscape,” says Imdat As, CEO of Arcbazar.com.”We want our clients to be able to create their dream spaces in an easy, affordable and fun way.”

Brad G, a homeowner from Indiana, needed to create a a multifunctional office & gym space in the basement of his house, while still keep using it as a cozy living space. He initiated a competition on Arcbazar and received seven design proposals, ultimately opting for a concept from Nemanja Kovacevic, a designer from Russia.
