Nail bar and spa bright, warm, elegant

Nu Nail Bar and Spa is a CNH Architects project at the Miracle Mile Shopping Center in St. Louis Park.

“The gold and crystal accents really gave the sense of luxury and elegance that was originally envisioned,” said Senior Project Designer Al Tsai with CNH Architects.

Encompassing more than 3,700 square-feet, it offers 24 stations for manicures, 23 for pedicures, eight drying stations and four eyelash stations.

The chamber and its members are very proud of owner Tom Tran and his new business, said Laura Roehl, director of member relations with Twin West Chamber of Commerce. Staff in black uniforms cared for customers during a grand opening event with a full menu of spa services. And, Tran led guests on a tour of each area, explaining how the spaces would be used, Tsai explained.

He personally likes the fireplaces which anchor the spaces and the video walls. Tsai congratulated Tran for his hard work and determination and said it was a pleasure to serve his design needs. “He was very easy to work with.”

Staff said they were really impressed with the facility and grateful for so much room to move around, as well as the storage and prep space in the “back of the house,” Tsai explained.

BURNSVILLE FIRE STATION NO. 1

CNH’s largest fire station to date, the City of Burnsville’s Fire Station No. 1 is home to a crew of all full-time firefighters and more than 44,000 SF with 10 apparatus bays. Firefighter safety was one of nine top priorities for the station. Multiple contamination zones and a designated de-contamination area will allow firefighters to keep contaminated equipment and clothing in the apparatus bay until decontaminated. Another priority in the design was firefighter mental health. A warning system that slowly ramps up with alert tones and lighting while only alerting responding staff ensures firefighters are not awoken in an abrupt manner. The station includes areas for relaxation with different lighting to promote natural sleep rhythms, as well as a yoga studio and meditation garden. Extensive firefighter training features including Firefighter 1 and advanced training elements are another highlight of the station.
