Concept Sketches

CONCEPT :

The symbolism of number Four:

Four represents the cross, the square, and the four quadrants of a circle. Respectively, the cross signifies integrity and plentifulness, the square is a symbol of stability and clarity, and the quadrant symbolises parts of the whole.

There are four basic elements (water, earth, wind and fire), which are used symbolically in the spa.

The symbolism of Four Nail Spa:

Four Nail Spa tells the story of integrated dichotomies in terms of:

Shapes: Rectilinear/Rigid and Curved/Organic

Materials: Rough/Natural and Polished/Industrial Atmosphere: Warm and Cold, Dry and Humid Social Spaces: Socio-fugal (encourages isolation) and socio-petal (encourages social interaction)

Four is designed as a welcoming, garden-like social experience that attracts youth to experience high-end services in a fresh and casual atmosphere. The softly backlit natural wood panels with the rough grey concrete flooring, which contrasts and compliments the highly polished White surfaces and transparent glass creating a scenery of ascetic modernism, while reminiscent of nature.

SUSTAINABILITY :

- Materials used were either recycled or are recyclable. Counters, furniture and add-ons are all demount-able and reusable.

- Non-allergic stucco was used on the walls.

- Water usage was studied to be streamlined and minimal.
