STATUS
Built
YEAR
2013
A growing client base coupled with a need to offer an enhanced retail component prompted a well established salon + spa to relocate to a high-profile urban core storefront location. This project therefore consists of a complete interior renovation of an extant early 20th century brick & mortar building, located in the historic downtown business district of San Luis Obispo.
With the functional and aesthetic needs of the client fully programmed and vetted, the design teams’ efforts focused on developing a retail vernacular that leveraged the energy of the salon’s hip and modern business culture while extracting historic elements of the existing masonry structure. The resultant vocabulary merges the warmth of clay brick walls and existing concrete floors with the modern-industrial sensibilities of the owner, yielding organic yet urban design elements and materials throughout the reinvented space. The multi-function “front of house” areas of retail and service are organized via employment of a unifying asymmetrical architectural soffit, constructed from variegated walnut slats and reclaimed barn-timbers salvaged from a recently deconstructed barn. With its curving structure and undulating canopy, the soffit helps organize and manage an otherwise impersonal voluminous shell, yielding intimate work areas for both stylists and clients alike.
Additional aspects of this material convergence were achieved via implementation of a custom fabricated “chalk-board” cash-wrap as well as individual galvanized “floating” workstations, which appear to levitate off the ground while simultaneously embracing their reclaimed timber column support.
