Merging luxury retail, spa services and medical-grade cosmetic treatments in a 1,700-sq.-ft. space, this beauty clinic uses soft-edged transitions, big curves in plan and section, and a colour palette of muted terracotta, blush neutrals and soft whites to create a calming, non-intimidating atmosphere. Hand-troweled plaster surfaces and a semicircular seating banquette with tall, embracing sausage-roll upholstery add to the feeling of warmth. Guests are greeted by a sculptural Corian central island serving as reception desk, product testing zone, cash-wrap and event station. In lieu of signage, clear sightlines, spatial rhythm and visually contrasting materials empower guests to navigate the reception, consultation, treatment and retail areas. Ambient lighting from a stretched ceiling mimics daylight, cove lighting washes down wall planes and strategically placed spotlighting accentuates retail displays. Movable millwork and a range of lighting scenes support a range of programming, from skincare workshops to intimate gatherings.
