nilli beauty salon go back to all projects

nilly beaty salon: Reflection of the ambience and plants

In facing somewhere on the top floor, we enclosed it with greenery and engaged the user’s senses by placing mirrors inside, creating a green reflection from both inside and outside to distract attention from spatial limitations. In this women’s beauty salon, we selected a distinct color to create an atmosphere that aligns with nature of its function.

This project was presented to us as an existing business unit located on the second floor, characterized by an irregular layout and low ceiling heights. The previous owner had undertaken some modifications, including the installation of a modest kitchen. The client expressed a desire to repurpose existing elements to minimize costs.

They requested the design of diverse spaces to accommodate various functions, including a welcoming lobby with a seating area and balcony, two hair styling stations, a bed for eyebrow treatments, five manicure stations, two pedicure areas, as well as staff and client dressing rooms, and a management desk.

Our primary focus was to address the challenges presented by the irregular floor plan, particularly the three central columns. We strategically defined the layout of the spaces in a longitudinal arrangement to optimize functionality and flow.

In Iran, due to the prevailing Islamic laws requiring the preservation of modesty for Muslim women, we needed to reduce direct visibility to the outside. Considering the existing glass facade, which had two black composite strips at the top and bottom, we applied a pattern of black metal sheets and combined it with bamboo plants. This not only helped control the view and ensure security but also created a more distinctive facade.
