We reimagined the traditional hair salon as a 2,000 sf innovative space to intrigue younger clients, centered on a "smooth wrapper"—a smart wall system integrating lighting, HVAC, sound, and storage. This smart wrapper modulates wall surfaces, reconfiguring the space into a sculpted void that breaks from conventional salon layouts.
Starting at the facade, folded bluestone with mitered edges wraps large glass planes (including a frameless glass door) with Aida’s sandblasted logo, acting as an urban interface.
As Interior Design’s Henry Urbach noted, the facade serves as a "transparent volumetric intermediary between city and interior"—collapsing public and private spaces for a distinctive experience.
