The project is occupying a new retail building in the New York borough Brooklyn. The small budged was stretched by utilizing most of the existing features of the raw space. By cutting open the floor to the basement and inserting a stair the space was opened to two levels. The existing concrete floors have been posted and waxed. The existing structural metal ceilings have been sanded and painted white. The layout is organized around the shop windows that are facing the busy retail street corner of Bedford Avenue and Grand Street. To bring in the natural light to the work areas the space is opened up to bring in as much natural light to both floors as possible.

The materials are chosen save cost and resources. the blonde birch wood is a minimal contrast to the white painted surfaces, concrete and steel. The floor is kept wide and open in oder to male it easy to clean. The coloring stations are downstair to give more privacy to the more vulnerable process of the salon activity. The hair dressing stations and welcome desk are upstairs near the entrance to enable communication with the street. All materials were chosen to create low cost and low CO2 emission.
