A coherent image can be found throughout the space in the form of a chic interior, defined by wood finishes and metal textures that evokes a sense of warmth. The space makes use of the aforementioned materials by incorporating them into the design of a custom-made divider feature, hold by a support, clad in woodgrain laminates. The unique structure was designed and constructed with the purpose of privacy in mind, covered by frosted glass panels.

The existing arch ceiling structure is projected by washed-light to helps to draw the eye upwards, which makes the ceiling look higher and an entire space feels bigger. A form of an arch is repeatedly used as a resemblance of a nail, that brings out feminine features of the space.
