New Mexico Best of 2007/Mark Pardo Hair/Skin/Body

摘要

The 3,375-sq-ft salon/spa, in a strip shopping center in Albuquerque, fulfills three functions: as a street-visible retail store; an energetic salon; and a quiet and calming spa. The 420,000 dollars project began April 2007 and was completed May 2007. Distinct areas were created to provide acoustical and visual privacy for customers, while also encouraging flow between them. Textured materials were used to define the space with accompanying planes that encourage flow into the manicure/pedicure spa lounge and treatment areas. Materials included steel stud with gypsum board, porcelain tile, Italian laminate and three-dimensional wood paneling.
