A young group of entrepreneurs, came to us with the concept of starting a noodle restaurant.  The brief - a friendly, energetic, and dynamic atmosphere. The challenge - a super small budget.

Glamour Nail & Beauty Salon was designed around the idea of being transported to a pampering paradise. The client required an interior that provided a stark contrast to the exterior and masked the hustle and bustle outside. The design needed to ensure visibility from the street to attract spontaneous clients, while the spatial planning had to accommodate a kitchenette, accessible bathroom, two private beauty rooms, and dedicated areas for manicures, pedicures, and a client waiting area within a limited 76m² space. Through careful planning, we were able to meet all the client's needs.

The design emphasises the contrast between rough, raw materials and soft, elegant furnishings. We incorporated concrete plaster render and organic brick white-faced tiles, softened with boucle fabric on the waiting area chairs, soft pink sheer privacy curtains, and mushroom-coloured custom joinery.
