CLINIQUE LA VALLEE - INSTITUT LA VALLEE

On the ground floor, Clinique La Vallée also features a beauty institute bringing together a hair salon, nail care and treatment spaces. This complementary programme extends the clinic’s broader approach to well-being, placing health and self-care within a more holistic framework.

The architectural identity of the clinic is immediately recognisable through its generous, flowing curves. Light wood remains the project’s unifying material, here paired with a leather-effect veneer that introduces an additional note of sophistication. Together, these materials enrich the bespoke joinery while maintaining a soft, luminous and calming palette.

A long sequence of custom-made joinery gradually accompanies the different functions of the institute. It begins with a wardrobe area for clients, continues through the shampoo zone and leads to the pedicure area, organised around a treatment table.

At the centre of the space, a bespoke unit helps structure the layout while preserving the privacy of the pedicure area. Acting simultaneously as a screen, storage element and display feature, it presents the different treatment ranges available for purchase.

The hairdressing area occupies the heart of the institute. Large freestanding XXL mirrors punctuate the space, preserving a strong sense of visual fluidity without the need for conventional partitions.

Finally, behind the reception area, the color bar is conceived both as a workspace and as a place for interaction. It allows staff to prepare treatments and products while maintaining a direct connection with clients, whether seated at the counter or in a more relaxed sofa area. The result is an environment that is professional, elegant and welcoming.
