The architectural practice "Nysa" was commissioned to design a contemporary beauty center in the Ambelokipi district of Athens, conceived as an environment where body care and architecture come together, offering not only beauty services but also an experience of everyday luxury.
Light is the project's defining element, shaping the atmosphere through the way it diffuses across the space and subtly delineates the different functional areas by means of large reflective and transparent surfaces.
Qoopwas commissioned to fabricate a series of bespoke architectural elements throughout the project, while responding to the central design intention: the dialogue between transparent and reflective surfaces through their respective constructional expression.
For all internal glazed partitions and steel-framed openings, the Ottostumm Mogs W20 & W40 systems were selected. Maximum transparency is achieved through slender steel profiles of minimal dimensions, while their mechanical components occupy the smallest possible area, allowing uninterrupted visual continuity throughout the space.
For all reflective surfaces, custom-formed sheet metal panels were developed. The double-outline steel frame, combined with integrated lighting and a light-toned finish, visually dissolves the volume and reshapes the spatial atmosphere.
The scope of qoop's work included: (a) internal steel-framed glazed partitions and screens, (b) custom interior doors of various types, and (c) steel frames for the reflective wall surfaces.
