Jolly Beauty Salon
We decided to break the silence and present our new project — Jolly Beauty Salon in Kyiv.
The salon is temporarily closed because of the war, but soon it will open its doors again. And each of us should find strength to continue our job and move towards our bright future.
The employer aimed at a comforting environment — a beautiful oasis of self care. Natural materials, raw textures, soft color palette and wavy shapes of the decorative elements call to mind the image of a sandy beach. Vintage furniture, wooden details and lighting design create coziness inside of a clean minimalist interior.
The object, which previously served as a hairdressing salon, is located on the 1st floor of the 1950s building on the Lesya Ukrainka Boulevard in the business center of the city. Exterior blends with the historic character of the building, its color and style. The facade was cleaned from signboards and graffiti, to emphasize the visual rhythm of the object. The renovation of the space and the entrance group took 6 months.
喬麗美髮沙龍
這個新項目已停滯一段時間，現在我們將正式向大家公開——位於基輔的喬麗美髮沙龍。
由於戰爭的因素，沙龍暫時歇業，我們相信每個人都會找到力量、繼續往前進，邁向光明的未來，這裡很快的就能開始重新營業。
業主的目標在創造一個舒適的環境，一個美麗愛自己的綠洲。天然建材、原始質感、柔和的色調和波浪形狀的裝飾元素，讓人不禁聯想到沙灘上海浪的畫面，復古家具、木質細節和照明設計，在乾淨簡約的室內營造出極簡、舒適感。
這個項目過去是一家美髮沙龍，位於基輔商業區萊西亞烏克蘭大道上一棟1950年代的建築物一樓。外觀與建築物的歷史特色、色彩和風格融合在一起，立面被清理了招牌和塗鴉，以強調重整後的視覺節奏，僅僅是空間和入口處的重新設計，便耗時了六個月工程期之久。
The main wall is decorated with a natural stone — red travertine, which was frosted by hand to color pale pink. The edges were also treated by hand to create a natural-looking effect. This is not just an aesthetical, but also a functional solution, since the stone protects the wall from dirt in the bottom zone. The footrests are made from stainless steel and twisted straight into the travertine itself, on the previously installed pins.
以天然石材紅色石灰華為主牆面，經由手工磨砂處理，視覺上呈現了淺粉色效果，邊緣也以手工處理，營造出一種自然的效果。這是美化處理的手法，也是一種既實用且有功能性的解決方案，因為石材可以保護牆面底部範圍，避免受汙垢的影響，這次我們使用不鏽鋼製成的踢腳板，並安裝在先前的銷釘上，直接嵌入石灰華。
One of the main accents in the interior is the illuminated ceiling, which opens to the mirror. The latter visually expands the area, where we have the maximum quantity of functions on the minimum quantity of square meters. The ceiling is made of net with warm and cold diodes, mimicking the natural daylight effect. The net is covered with PVC canvas, and the precise contour is created with the black framing details. The ceiling level gets lower on either side of the lightbox — the ventilation and air conditioning system is hidden in this niche. Actually, the ventilation solution was one of the most challenging in the whole project. Still, we used the “thin gap” technique, and our engineers managed to efficiently set the indoor climate, considering all the limitations.
室內設計的主要亮點之一是照明的天花板與大面落地明鏡垂直相接。這面鏡子在視覺上擴大了空間，我們在有限的空間裡創造視覺放大的效果。而帶有冷色和暖色二極管的格型天花板，可以根據不同的時間進行調整，營造出類似自然日光的效果，上面覆蓋著PVC帆布，黑色邊框細節創造了精準的輪廓。燈箱的兩側，天花板高度降低——通風和空調系統則隱藏在這個凹槽中。實際上，另一個具有挑戰性的就是空調佈局改善通風，儘管如此，我們使用了「薄間縫」技術，在設想各種限制的情況下，有效的安排室內空調，工程師成功調節室內空氣流通，克服所了有限制。
We paid special attention to the process of design and realization of the entrance group. Since the salon is located above the ground on the hill, our target was to develop a comfortable entrance with a staircase wide enough. Furthermore, a staircase should not disturb the movement of pedestrians. We came up with the idea of a staircase and awning with no visible fasteners. Our constructor developed the cantilever staircase and the platform, covered with travertine. We were searching for this material all over Ukraine, and we succeeded at the last moment, just in time.
在這個項目實施的過程，入口處的設計一直是我們最關注的焦點。由於沙龍入口位於山坡的地面之上，因此規劃一個舒適的入口及足夠寬度的樓梯是我們的目標。此外，我們認為樓梯不應干擾行人的走路動線，最後提出了隱化固定件的樓梯和雨遮的想法。最終，施工人員實現了懸臂式樓梯和平台，為此，我們成功的在烏克蘭尋找到這種建材並以這個石灰華來堆砌。
