Taking up residence in the well renowned Habitat Byron Bay, Zanzi Hairdressing is a sustainable, plant based salon where visitors are treated to a holistic experience. The team use minimal plastics and chemicals. An impressive 95% of the salon waste is repurposed.
To compliment this ethos, the interior encompasses all natural and local materials. The bare bones of the building were left exposed to minimise unnecessary layers. Locally sourced plywood was assembled by local cabinetmakers. The easel-style hair stations are designed to be easily movable to create a flexible working space. Something that came in very handy during covid restrictions!
Open display shelves act as a screen between the entry and waiting area, allowing products to be viewed from both sides. A natural fibre pendant light sits proud over the front desk, while the general lighting is exposed tracks to keep wiring to a minimum.
Fresh and dried greenery softens the space and creates an ever-changing layer that supports the neighbouring retail offerings.
Jumble and stack is a Brisbane based studio focusing on interior architectural design and decoration of hospitality, residential and leisure spaces.
The founder of Jumble & Stack, Kim Burns, is recognised for her eclecticism and versatility. Every project has its own unique identity that is carefully tailored to each client. We place a lot of importance on individuality, timelessness, and respecting existing structure and surroundings.
Our favourite part of the design process is the challenge of coming up with practical solutions without compromising on aesthetics. We aim to provide not only visually pleasing spaces, but functional spaces that stretch past first impressions and into the everyday living and working realisms of a space.
