Doran Construction worked with the owner of Salon Lili to transform a vacant gas station at the end of an aging strip mall into a vibrant beauty salon. Using an inside-out approach, the construction team was able to identify the key materials and spaces needed to meet the clients wish for unique “moments of space” including a signature mirror-ball inspired lobby and tranquil garden space for salon clients. Key challenges included the demolition of the existing gas station, dilapidated HVAC and wall systems and introduction of custom-designed materials into the new space.
