The brief for the Urbana laser hair removal clinic was to create a space unlike anything else on the market. The objectives were to be unique, incorporate an original design and ultimately to create a warmer, more inviting space that clients could be at ease in. KLD proposed a polished industrial design with a contemporary feel.
The idea of the polished design was to bring the industrial design look up a notch, creating a contemporary, clean and high-end look, as distinguished from a purely industrial look, that may be a bit more casual and informal. The client wanted to ensure that the customer felt at ease throughout their visit, but also inspired and impressed by a luxurious and well-presented space.
The proposed design included seven therapy rooms, two consultation rooms, a reception/ waiting area and retail display. A detailed design which emphasised creativity and design excellence throughout was presented to the client.
Materials used included corten steel, marble, white architectural grade concrete, brass and oak. Lush planting was used to soften the space with delicate lighting to contrast the structured, architectural design. Several design features make this particularly exemplary.
Each therapy room was a highly considered user experience for customers as well as therapists. Bins were built behind joinery, concealed by timber but accessible to the therapist. A sink in the hallway was hidden behind a timber clad wall, which allowed the therapist to discreetly dispose of laser machine waste.
The new design has catapulted the brand to be a more striking, noticeable shop front, delivered an improved holistic experience and increased sales and bookings.
