Built, 2017
MIMStudios was asked to remodel and design the new X-it Beauty Salon on Rupert Street.
The space compromises of a narrow high ceiling entrance area which directly leads you from the busy Rupert Street market area into an exciting yet calming space.
A undulating timber ceiling installation creates a warm and welcoming space. The hanging sections provide the space with indirect light as well as hide and make all installation and ventilation running along the ceiling space easily accessible.
A small alcove niche was transformed in a built-in reception desk to leave keep the narrow space free for circulation.
Downstairs a sufficient layout for 3 treatment rooms are all featuring brick walls and simple details to give the clients a calming and restorative experience.
Client Testimonial:
“I was relocating my business into smaller premises due to ever rising rents in central London. I was at a complete loss as to how I was going to make the site look not only good but an improvement on the bigger one we left. I instructed MIMStudios to help.
Firstly they organised the complete layout and liaised with the build team throughout. They also presented several design ideas for the entrance and helped us to choose all the best lighting solutions for the treatment rooms and entrance area possible within our budget. They were professional and prompt throughout. I could never have have got the "look" along with the standard of finish without them. MIMStudios is a great architecture and design studio who possess strong innovative ideas. They are very hands on and I highly recommend them. “
