EXTENDED USE / HONOR

Project: Xenon International – School of Hair Design
Owner: Xenon International School of Hair Design
Firm: RDG Planning & Design
Photographer: Tom Kessler, Omaha, Nebraska

A School for Hair Design needed a new facility to accommodate a larger student population. The clients also wanted to re-define their image as a cutting edge school, able to attract the best students. The architect was charged with the overall visual look and concept behind this new design. Based on the tight construction schedule and budget the project was design-build.

Jury Comments: “This is an inventive project – just right for its purpose and students. The creation of calm space with the translucent panels is a nice contrast to the edgy salon. The architect was quite inventive with his/her use of materials.”
