The project
Light natural timber runs from the reception counter through the bulkhead lining to the custom workstations. Using one material throughout keeps a small salon calm and holds the space together.
Each workstation was designed as a custom piece, with concealed pull out storage and a ceiling mounted rail system allowing the layout to shift as needed.
Detail. Light timber runs from the reception counter through the bulkhead lining to the display joinery, which holds the space together.
