This dynamic 1800SF salon studio
is located in an old warehouse
building at Seaboard Station in
downtown Raleigh, NC. Working
with interior designer Chad
Jeffrey Smith and the salon
owners as part of the design and
fabrication team, we found every
way possible to bring and open
and collaborative sensibility to
this space. The plan takes
advantage of the daylight at the
front half of the space by
locating the entry and waiting
area near the full height
storefront glass. Walls were
very carefully located to create
the required level of privacy
while maximizing openness,
minimizing costs and prominently
featuring sales merchandise.
Almost all casework is an IKEA
product modified to a new
purpose and much of the interior
landscape was created by the
interior design team using found
objects as art. Existing
ceiling heights were maintained
to maximize the volume of the
space while the lighting was
designed to balance the scale
and provide an effective working
environment.
