Annapolis, MD

This project makes use of a challenging retail space along the heavily traveled West Street for a new salon.  Program requirements become concentrated objects within the irregular field with ranges of definition assigned to surfaces/edges based on proximity and use.  The ‘color lounge’ has a both/and quality as it deals with the waiting ‘while looking bit silly’ by both concealing the space from view of the rest of the interior while allowing a veiled connection with the exterior public space.  The veil is a color stranded screen constructed of bungee threaded on movable tracts.  These tracks located at the floor and ceiling slide to allow a range of opportunities for the concealment or exhibition of a guest.
