Golden A' Design Award Winner 2020
Saturated turquoise steel framework dominates the left visual corridor of John Sun and Renee Zhu's Beauty United Space Salon, establishing an immediate chromatic dialogue with the voluminous vermillion-orange curved enclosure positioned opposite, these complementary hues creating a vibrant split-complementary harmony against the neutral backdrop of white walls and polished gray flooring that anchors the composition's energetic palette. The compositional architecture employs a strong one-point linear perspective with the central corridor functioning as the primary vanishing point axis, drawing the eye through successive spatial zones articulated by the rhythmic repetition of turquoise vertical elements suspended from the exposed industrial ceiling infrastructure rendered in charcoal gray with visible mechanical systems and track lighting. The left zone features bench seating upholstered in teal leather exhibiting horizontal quilted texture, positioned beneath an overhead luggage rack system constructed of matching turquoise-painted tubular steel, this transportation vernacular suggesting transit waiting areas and establishing a conceptual narrative framework. The curved orange structure at right displays a smooth glossy surface with subtle specular highlights indicating lacquered or powder-coated finish, its barrel-vault form creating visual weight balanced against the linear geometry of the opposing shelving system. Spatial depth is articulated through overlapping planes including the speckled terrazzo or granite counter surface in the middle ground, triangular orange graphic elements suggesting directional wayfinding, and tropical foliage specimens providing organic textural contrast to the predominantly hard-surface material palette. The lighting paradigm combines ambient illumination from recessed ceiling fixtures with directional spots creating pools of warm-neutral illumination at approximately 4000K color temperature, generating soft shadows that model three-dimensional form without harsh contrast. Typographic elements integrated into the spatial design include dimensional lettering in sans-serif faces, contributing to the wayfinding system while reinforcing the transportation hub conceptual framework that transforms utilitarian beauty service into experiential journey.
The design uses abstract elements of bus to bring about more topics. The designers adopted the main colors of the brand visual identity to divide spaces so as to form a dynamic color collision. Moreover, personalized modern elements are extracted from "bus", helping to create eye-catching visual effect. Topical and interesting interactive spaces, store appliance attract customers who pursue innovative things. Meanwhile, related products are also displayed here, giving guests a new immersive experience and then better understanding the brand meaning.
