A lounge with a curved sofa and a coffee bar feature in this hair salon in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood, which Ruud van Oosterhout has designed for two sisters. The Dutch designer overhauled a part of a former soda factory to create the 4,500-square-foot salon, named Rob Peetoom Williamsburg. The outpost marks the first in New York for the Dutch hair company founded by Rob Peetoom. Van Oosterhout has designed almost all of Rob Peetoom's locations, which include spots in the Netherlands and Bali.

Medical facilities must be sterile, but that doesn’t mean their design needs to be. Case in point: the ReFuture Clinic in Kiev, Ukraine, a 2,900-square-foot esthetic clinic with interiors by locally-based YoDezeen.
“We were inspired by new technologies both in architecture and in medicine,” says Artem Zverev, YoDezeen’s CEO and chief architect of the project. A green wall in reception replaces the standard pile of thumbed-over magazines, and Nazar Bilyk’s “Rain” sculpture nearby offers further soothing.

213 Hospitality gambled on downtown Los Angeles early on, opening spots including the Golden Gopher, Seven Grand, and the Varnish between 2004 and 2009. And 213’s latest project, built within a 1939 landmark designed by John and Donald Parkinson, is one loaded with civic importance. Impressed by the firm’s track record, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority approached the group to renovate and revive what had been the Fred Harvey Room restaurant (designed, in fact, by Mary Colter) and an adjacent, more intimate bar in Union Station—a space whose use for years had been limited to private events and film production.

Entrepreneur
The success of a business is due in large part to the personalities of the people who run it. You can have the most amazing, innovative ideas, but if you have a toxic personality that repels even your most loyal customers and most diligent employees, you may be singlehandedly costing your business time and money.
As a manager or leader in your business, it’s important to recognize that you wield influence over your company, and much of that impact comes from how you communicate and interact with others.

Others gather as frequently as monthly. The most common reason given for meeting often is, "We’ve always done it this way." Other rationales: "We like each other and the meeting facilitates the board’s networking." And, "If we don’t meet monthly the directors will forget what we are working on."
