Elliott Reeve hair salon,

Wellington Street, Northampton

Client: Paul Elliott and Susan Reeve
Contractors: PPS Maintenance
Completion: September 2003

This former office building was converted into a small 'walk-in' hair salon which caters for both female and male clients. The project also encompassed the creation of the 'ER' brand.

The salon is split into two sections on a 60-40 split to cater for the different users and although this split is emphasized on the planning, both areas retain a similar aesthetic and feel.

...a central, circular reception area acts as a control point, from which all the functions emerge...

Despite the split, the backwash area is unisex and a small retail area also caters for all.
