Tube

by

The project was aimed to create out of an old kitchen shop a functional hair salon, with a modest budget.

    • Principle use: Hair salon
    • Design/Supervision: Werner Maritsas
    • Location: Petroupoli, Athens – Greece
    • Total floor area: 78 m2
    • Design / Construction period: August 2009
    • Photo:W. Maritsas, I. Nikolareizi

The main idea was tunnel-like space divided by 3 layers.  To highlight this tube illusion a round double mirror was placed at the back of the salon, creating a stylish impression of depth. Complete renovation – study and construction-  completed in 40 days.
