THE MAKING OF INTERVAL
A salon
imagined.
Concept by Creek Studio. An independent hair salon for Kensington, made to explore the space between appointments.
The fiction.
Interval does not exist as a trading salon. All people, experience, services, prices, premises and contact details are part of the concept. No appointment is reserved by the booking demonstration.
The address is fictional. The phone number is from Ofcom’s drama range. The proposed email domain is not represented as owned or monitored.
The images.
All photography is AI-generated with OpenAI image generation. No photograph documents a real salon, a real stylist or a treatment outcome.
The short motion studies are animated from generated stills. The colour interval comparison illustrates a design idea; it does not predict how anyone’s hair will grow.
This edition adds three monochrome editorial photographs: a campaign portrait, a sculptural bob and the established salon interior. The earlier generated studies remain in the lookbook and artist portfolios; colour is retained where it explains a tonal result.
The identity & type.
The expanded serif wordmark and split-I monogram use a deliberate pause as their identifying detail. It was developed as original vector artwork from licensed type outlines.
Source Serif 4 is by Frank Grießhammer, Adobe Originals. Source Sans 3 is by Paul D. Hunt, Adobe Originals. The site uses Adobe’s open-source releases under the SIL Open Font License.
The place.
The illustrated map is drawn from © OpenStreetMap contributors data, available under the Open Database Licence. The salon marker is approximate and fictional.
Area facts were checked against TfL, Historic Royal Palaces, the Design Museum and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Follow the source links on the Visit page for current details.
The build.
A hand-built Astro website, with semantic HTML, local responsive images and a keyboard-accessible booking demonstration. Lenis supplies scroll inertia; GSAP, ScrollTrigger and SplitText reveal masked lines. A draggable lookbook, spring cursor and layered artist portfolios respond to input. A lightweight SVG turbulence tile supplies the grain texture. Motion is reduced when your device requests it.
No website templates, UI kits, fabricated reviews, awards or product partnerships are used.
