The  salon’s original interior was dated, and the space plan needed updating to house the new concept, making our mission clear: open up the labyrinthine layout and infuse it with modern energy while keeping the building’s structure intact.

The entry now welcomes visitors with a dramatic two-story space, setting the tone for the entire experience. We stripped away walls to create flow, turning the triangular mezzanine windows into a focal point that bridges past and present and providing the inspiration behind the Base One identity.

Color and acoustics played crucial roles in our design strategy. Crisp white walls serve as a canvas, punctuated by natural woods and bold black accents. This neutral backdrop allows the founder’s vibrant artwork and a show-stopping mural hallway to guide guests from the entry lounge to the event space and patio. To tackle the acoustic challenges in the spacious main area, we implemented sound-absorbing elements, from plush furnishings to specially designed lighting fixtures, creating a space that feels both grand and intimate.
