Art Arquitectos designed this project for a Paul
Mitchell salon, at Houston Texas. The low walls of this beauty salon bring out
the depth of the space it’s housed in. The stone slab, which has been painted
dark gray, is laid bare before the premises to provide a backdrop against which
the round white soffits hanging over specific areas stand out. The haircut
stations are semi-open and arranged in a circle around the focal point of the
salon, which is where products on sale are displayed to the clientele. The hair
wash area is also semi-open, albeit with a little more intimacy, and one area,
akin to a spa, is completely sealed off.
