KNOW MORE ABOUT THE DESIGNERS:
Be it designing a commercial, residential or any other given space, the designing should be more focused on creating a functional environment that optimizes available space and is specific to the needs of the client or the end users.

INTRODUCTION
The client came to us with a specific requirement, he wanted a theme that can highlight the history of hairdressing. Also the site was located in one of the heritage buildings in south Bombay. So, after one-to-one interaction with the client and a few observations on site we decided to have a quirky vintage theme for this salon and spa project. Throughout this project we have tried to give a vintage vibe to the space through architectural elements, material finishes and decorative accessories.
PLANNING
The site had three different levels the ground floor, the basement and the mezzanine. The core idea was to use these levels for the bifurcation of spaces according to various activities in a salon and to create a space which is functional. In a Salon and spa its very important to segregate activities that can create nuisance to clients taking services. The zoning of areas was done in such a way that the first level had all the complementary and high energy activities like hair styling, coloring, mens grooming and reception desk. The mezzanine level had the semi relaxing activities like pedicure, hairwash and special hair spa treatment room. The basement was planned exclusively for relaxing activities like body massage and facials.
