Project Brief

The interior design work, for the hair salon, took only 18 eighteen days to finish, which was of huge challenge. The design idea maintaining the style of originality, for the second store, was a big test.

Project Innovation/Need

The design elements of classical and punk intriguingly collide at the reception counter, where the vivid culture stone walls reveal the dignified atmosphere, the counter is furnished with stainless steels, and the back walls are decorated with wood cabinets. The reception area, unveiling the allurements of the classical punk, is ornamented with the exotic tiles that cordially reconcile the distinct styles exposed by the counter and walls.

Design Challenge

The exposed concrete ceilings, furnished with the iron pendant lamps and track lights, manifest the authentic punk ambience. The iron grilles widely adorned at the hairdressing tables, magazine racks and staircase consistently expand the coarse LOFT textures from the first to the second floors.

Sustainability

On the second floor, the hand-lacquered walls simulate the vintage effects of mottled walls. The lustrous glass bricks and vibrant culture stone walls, additionally, establish the space style. The tidy hairdressing tables and metal black seats develop the one-of-a-kind impression. The shampoo chairs embellished with the mirrors, silver-gray metal bricks and the black wood cabinets diffuse the delicate style of fashion. The aggressive design skills using divergent materials seek the balanced aesthetics that make the “Classical Punk” a distinguishing new hair salon.




This award celebrates the design process and product of planning, designing and constructing form, space and ambience that reflect functional, technical, social, and aesthetic considerations in commercial projects. Consideration given for material selection, technology, light and shadow.
