A beauty salon in a medical facility cures dreary hospital blues.
The special location for this project, a new and modern hospital in Mandaue City, Cebu, provided the inspiration for our design choices. The goal was to provide interiors that are well-lit, comfortable, and imbibe feelings of order and wellness to the clients. 
Self-image’s effect on health and recovery was a topic explored during our research. “…doctors and nurses are finding that paying attention to what might be seen as superficial concerns — hair and makeup — has a positive effect on patients, with beauty regimes being bright spots in what can be a dreary journey through radiation and other therapies. Because of these perceived benefits, programs focused on cosmetic solutions are spreading.” — from The Washington Post.
Natural wood finishes break the formality of space while soft drapes lend privacy and drama to an otherwise “cold” environment.
