Transforming a law office into a modern wellness destination

When Lake Oswego, Oregon-based Summer Aesthetics set out to expand, they needed a space that would reflect its growth but offer client comfort. They found a third-floor suite that had previously housed a drab law office that offered little in the way of design and the vibe they were looking for. Other than the existing front door and exterior windows, everything had to be reimagined to create a modern environment that aligned with the company’s vision.

The project goals were set: to build a space that felt light, airy, and contemporary while supporting staff and providing a premium customer experience.

“In clinical and healthcare settings looking clean and sterile without looking sterile is always the challenge,” said Summer.

The lobby was designed to make a strong impression, anchored by black walnut cabinetry and a gray stone reception desk. In contrast, the treatment rooms focused on calmness and functionality, with materials chosen to withstand frequent cleaning and maintain a professional appearance.

The Kokeena Connection

Kokeena was key in bringing that vision to life. By combining IKEA cabinet boxes with Kokeena’s custom finishes, Summer Aesthetics kept costs down and invested in high-end materials where they would have the most impact.

“IKEA boxes can’t be beat cost wise,” said Summer. They allowed us to spend the money on high-end materials on the exteriors, too.”

Originally Black matte cabinetry was specified and through the planning process replaced with a lighter wood-grained laminate to eliminate issues with fingerprints and to ensure durability under daily use.

“Kokeena helped out with lots of samples to test this out on. We also need them fairly scrubbable in that area and a wood grained laminate did the trick,” said Summer.

Results: New design and better spaces

The result was a complete transformation of the old stuffy law office into a modern, functional space that improved both staff workflow and the client experience.

Today, the new Summer Aesthetics location is thriving. The space feels modern, clean, and professional without being too sterile. The design improves both the client experience and staff workflow, with special touches

“The whole space is amazing and fully booked with clients,” added Summer.
