This project takes the idea of a “mullet strategy,” where a design conforms to normative forms and proportions at its public face and reverts to a more dynamic spatial logic on its private face and reverses it to draw in visitors. A dramatically lit, eye-catching retail space for Dermalogica, an award-winning skincare line, leads to a series of private therapy rooms in back. The retail space is a tall, faceted enclosure of triangular panels surfaced in troweled concrete, visible to passers-by through storefront windows. (Barker Freeman Design Office)
