THE THREADING STUDIO, SOUTHLAKE, TX
Multiple Award Winner: 2022 Dallas Design Ovation Awards, Retail - 2nd Place, 2022 Celebrating Design Texas, Retail - 2nd Place
Curved architectural elements are used to create soft lines that add character and dimension to create a feminine space (for the overwhelmingly female clientele). These curvilinear elements help demarcate and highlight different areas while seamlessly binding them together. The main example of this is the studio station feature wall and ceiling, where multiple barrel vaults are used to create a rhythmic pattern in ceiling which then are translated on the wall to create demarcated functional backdrop for each individual station which houses the mirrors, while together they create a beautifully composed feature space.
Arch which plays an important role in brow shaping is used as an architectural element to carve out and define areas like the the reception, entrance picture wall along with some doorways. Further use of bold curved elements is found throughout the space, to either present product display, in cove ceilings or in light fixtures to continue the theme. These curved carved out spaces are further accentuated with use of blush color, which then also complements the sea green color from the logo.
To create a look of sophisticated luxury, gold accents are distributed throughout the space along with leather veneer for reception table, shimmering wallpaper at the entrance wall, velvet chairs, marble look like tile for floor and custom painted wall art. A framed wall flanked by lights is created behind waiting in studio section for the owner to display pictures of their work on their celebrity clientele. Lighting through varied light fixtures further compliments the space by creating an enticing environment. Overall the space was created for a modern distinctive experience, which would leave a lasting impression on the visitors’ mind.
