“They turned our unfinished basement into a gym our son uses every single day. The design fit the room perfectly.”
Custom sensory gyms, designed and installed
Your space.
Their sensory gym.
Different by Design designs, builds, and installs custom sensory gyms for homes, clinics, and schools. Every gym is planned around your room and the kids who will use it, from the first conversation to the finished install.
Different feels good here
Every child moves differently. Every gym should too.
No two rooms, and no two kids, are the same. We start with your space and the people who will use it, then design climbing, swinging, balance, and calming areas that make sense together. Then we build it and install it, so all you have to do is open the door.

From first call to installOur process
Walk through the four steps that take a project from an empty room to a finished gym.
Room to belong
Every child deserves room to be themselves.
Whether it starts with a climb or a quiet moment, a well-designed gym gives each child room to explore in their own way.

“From the first conversation to install day, they handled everything. The kids walked in and knew exactly what to do.”
How it works
From an empty room to a finished gym.
We handle the whole project, from the first conversation through design, build, and installation. Here is how it comes together.
Start with the room
Every gym starts with your space.
Some projects begin with a basement and a rough idea. Others begin with a clinic floor plan and a therapy schedule. Both are the right place to start.
- 01
Consultation
Tell us about your room, who will use it, and what kind of movement matters most. We talk through goals, constraints, and what is possible.
- 02
Measure and plan
Share dimensions, photos, and a short video of the room. We map ceiling height, doorways, and everything the layout has to work around.
- 03
Design
We design a custom layout for your space and show you how each zone fits, then refine it with you until it feels right.
- 04
Build and install
We build your gym and install it in your space. When we leave, the room is ready to use.
