Strata Springscape

The Strata Springscape beauty salon is surrounded by a world of strata and springs. The entire space is embedded with elements inspired by strata, soil, springs, and water streams. Fragments of strata and spring motifs can be seen dancing on the ceiling next to floating fountain-like mirrors. The walls are finished with blue gradations that resemble water streams reflected in a fountain, and with a texture evocative of stone gravel in a geological formation. This creates an environment full of diverse rhythms of shadows and reflections, thereby magnifying the joy of those who pass through it.

The Cabin Symphonic

The concept behind this interior design was to create a captivating and modern atmosphere while preserving the original authenticity of the space. The design incorporated curved shapes and handpicked materials inspired by midcentury modern architecture, which provided an appealing contrast to the cozy yet rustic feel of a log cabin. The redesign of the building's layout involved significant changes to both the structure and construction, resulting in more interior openings, larger glazed areas such as the full-width window in the living room, and an overall optimization for multi-family use.
