HIVE SALON STUDIOS - GASKINS
Hive Salons at Gaskins is a tenant improvement project of approximately 5,825 SF of an existing 17,135 SF one-story, steel frame office building built in 1987. The design includes 20 independent salon studios that share communal areas such as lounge spaces, a break room, kitchenette, laundry room and restrooms. A new fenced, outdoor patio space faces the existing courtyard and tree line. A dated, existing exterior entry canopy was stripped down to the existing primary structural elements and renovated with more modern details. Each salon receives natural light; salons along the perimeter of the project have large storefront windows and salons in the center of the building have large skylight wells. Within the main lobby / lounge area, a large mural wraps the curved walls of the central salon block. The existing roof deck, roof joists, and mechanical equipment is painted a distinct, warm mid-tone red to contrast the curving, soft white walls of the salons.
