Hair Salon at the Golden Hall

This hair salon is located in the Golden Hall Shopping Centre in Athens, Greece. The deep and high space has a relatively small elevation, therefore the usual relationship of a shopfront between the inside and the outside space was rejected over completely opening the façade to welcome customers. The side walls are used to exhibit the products normally expected in the shopfront. The overall space is designed combining two elements: the existing shell, with an industrial character and refering to the construction phase, and the new shell, with its free forms and more refined materials, addressing the function of the shop.
