The springs should provide clear feedback, the frame should remain steady, and every adjustment should support confident movement through a broad repertoire.
At The Pilates Architects, we build professional Pilates towers and Cadillac equipment in Canoe, British Columbia. Our collection includes a standalone Cadillac, a Wall Tower with Raised Mat, a Reformer–Tower and a Reformer/Cadillac Convertible. Each configuration offers a different relationship between repertoire, space and versatility—without compromising the quality of the movement experience.
Springs create possibility, but only when the apparatus gives them a stable and thoughtfully organized foundation.
Our tower and Cadillac equipment is designed around the way resistance travels through the body, the adjustments instructors make throughout a session, and the confidence required for both foundational and advanced work.
The result is professional Pilates equipment that feels grounded, responsive and ready for real teaching.
Tower and Cadillac work depends on the relationship between the spring attachment, the body and the supporting surface.
Every change in spring position, resistance and direction alters the experience of the exercise. The apparatus must allow that resistance to feel clear and purposeful rather than unpredictable.
We consider the equipment as a complete movement system so practitioners can organize around the springs with greater confidence and precision.
The breadth of the tower and Cadillac repertoire places many different demands on the equipment.
A stable structure helps the practitioner feel secure during supine, seated, kneeling, standing and elevated work. That dependability matters in every session and becomes essential in a professional studio where the apparatus may support many different clients throughout the day.
Different bodies, exercises and teaching approaches require different spring relationships.
Attachment points, bars, straps and supporting surfaces should be intuitive to work with and straightforward to adjust. The equipment should support the instructor’s decisions without interrupting the rhythm of the session.
These details help teachers create a more appropriate experience for the individual in front of them.
More exercise possibilities are only valuable when the equipment remains practical and intuitive to use.
Our collection offers several ways to access tower and Cadillac programming, from a dedicated Cadillac to space-conscious wall and convertible configurations. The right choice depends on the repertoire you teach, the space available and whether you also need reformer functionality.
Our equipment is shaped by firsthand teaching experience.
Years inside Pilates studios have taught us where transitions should feel effortless, which adjustments instructors reach for most often and how small equipment details can affect the quality of movement. That experience guides how we design, test and refine every apparatus we build.
Our standard tower and Cadillac configurations are designed as complete pieces of professional Pilates equipment.
Customization is available, but it is not required to experience the quality of our apparatus. Materials, proportions, components and included accessories are selected to create a complete and rewarding movement experience. Whether you choose a standard configuration or a more personalized build, the same attention to movement, craftsmanship and quality goes into your equipment.
The Cadillac—also known as a trapeze table—supports an exceptionally broad spring-based repertoire.
Its raised working surface and surrounding frame give teachers and practitioners room to explore supported movement, strengthening, articulation, mobility and more advanced exercise progressions within one dedicated apparatus.
A standalone Cadillac is an excellent choice for professional studios that want the complete diversity and presence of traditional Cadillac work.
The Wall Tower with Raised Mat brings an extensive spring and mat repertoire into a more space-conscious footprint than a freestanding Cadillac.
It offers a supportive raised working surface alongside tower springs and bars, making it a valuable option for private sessions, mat-based programming and studios that must use their floor space thoughtfully.
A wall tower can also be a strong choice for a dedicated home Pilates space when a full Cadillac is not practical.

The Reformer–Tower combines traditional reformer work with the spring possibilities of a Pilates tower.
Its convertible design gives studios and home practitioners access to reformer, tower and mat-based programming within one coordinated footprint. It is particularly valuable when versatility and efficient use of space are equally important.
The Reformer–Tower is a strong choice for instructors who want to move between different types of spring work without dedicating separate areas to a reformer and tower.
The Reformer/Cadillac Convertible offers the broadest range of movement possibilities within our collection.
It brings together a complete Pilates reformer and Cadillac system, making it well suited to studios, instructors and private practitioners who want extensive programming without purchasing two entirely separate frames.
This apparatus is designed for people who want the versatility of reformer and Cadillac work while making deliberate use of their available space.

Before choosing a tower or Cadillac configuration, consider:
A dedicated Cadillac provides the complete experience of a freestanding trapeze table.
A Wall Tower with Raised Mat offers extensive tower and mat possibilities within a smaller footprint. A Reformer–Tower or Reformer/Cadillac Convertible may be the better choice when several types of programming must exist within the same equipment area.
If you are planning a new studio or expanding an existing one, send us your room dimensions and tell us how you teach. We can help you compare the available configurations.
Tower and Cadillac equipment can support an extraordinarily rich home practice, but the room must be evaluated carefully.
Measure the complete operating area rather than only the equipment’s footprint. Check the ceiling height and allow enough clearance for spring work, standing exercises, leg extensions and movement around the apparatus.
Consider whether you want dedicated tower or Cadillac work, or a combination system that also includes a reformer. Your experience, preferred repertoire and access to qualified instruction should also inform the decision.
If your room serves more than one purpose, think about how accessories will be organized and whether the equipment will need to change configuration between sessions.
Tell us about your space, experience and movement goals, and we can help you compare the options.
