the space*studio

"The Lagoon" hair and beauty salon,

Alcester, Warwickshire

Client: Doug Curtis
Contractors: client's own
Completion: February 2003

The scheme is housed in a converted barn which was full of character.

The brief was to create a prestigious studio which embodies the company's ethos and approach to customers whilst maintaining the aesthetic of the original architecture but enhance it with contemporary elements.

The aim was to create an oasis and retreat of unexpected luxury, which unfolds with drama and intrigue as the visitor progresses through the space.

The space includes both hair and beauty facilities in a spacious, light, airy, textured, and occasionally colourful space.

...oasis and retreat of unexpected luxury...

The design emphasis was on quality materials which bring a strong natural beauty to the space and a sense of elegance whilst clearly defining the relationship of the old and the new.
