Nailon Room by So Far Studio in Pangrati

A Compact Nail Studio in Pangrati

Located in Pangrati, Nailon Room by So Far Studio is a neighborhood nail studio developed within a compact space of just 20 sq.m. Rather than treating the limited area as a restriction, the project is conceived as a single atmospheric environment, where light, texture and spatial continuity define the experience of the interior.

The design focuses on softness and intimacy, creating a quiet pause within the rhythm of the city. Upon entry, the space is immediately shaped by a suspended textile installation at ceiling level, which introduces a sense of lightness and enclosure without reducing the clarity of the room.

A Suspended Textile Installation as Spatial Device

The translucent textile surface acts simultaneously as a light filter and a spatial device. It diffuses illumination across the interior, softening the atmosphere and transforming the perception of the room into something quieter, more immersive and almost scenographic.

This ceiling intervention becomes the defining element of the project. It gives the compact plan a sense of depth and continuity, while establishing an immediately recognizable identity for the studio.

Materials, Reflections and Pastel Tonalities

A restrained palette of cement plaster, plywood surfaces and pastel pistachio-toned details establishes a calm architectural language rooted in texture and tactility. Clean geometries and carefully balanced proportions reinforce the clarity of the interior, allowing the few material gestures to carry the atmosphere of the space.

Subtle reflections and layered transparencies continuously shift the perception of depth throughout the day. A large mirror positioned along the main axis visually expands the room, multiplying the presence of the textile installation and dissolving the physical limits of the compact plan.

A Linear Bar and Integrated Bench

The spatial organization is structured around a long linear bar element, which functions simultaneously as reception desk, manicure station and social threshold. This element concentrates activity and gives the small interior a clear functional order.

Opposite, a continuous built-in bench accommodates the waiting area, product display and pedicure station within a single integrated gesture. In this way, the different functions of the nail studio coexist without fragmenting the space.

Atmosphere Over Visual Excess

Rather than prioritizing capacity or visual excess, Nailon Room focuses on atmosphere, softness and sensory experience. Through light diffusion, muted tonalities and material continuity, the interior momentarily detaches visitors from the intensity of the city.

The result is an intimate and immersive environment, gently suspended between function and scenography. Within just 20 sq.m., the project creates a complete interior world defined by restraint, clarity and atmospheric precision.
