Unique Properties

Since the owner prefers an elegant and clean environment, the designer avoided gaps and joints exposed in the overall design. Many ingenuities are secretly placed to deliver an invisible aesthetic, such as the continuous artificial stone walls and the prominent ceramic floorings that lower the number of gaps created by the patchwork of materials. At the same time, a sufficient storage room is hidden behind closed cabinets to maintain a fresh expression and a comfortable atmosphere.

Dimensions & Packaging

The project is equipped with an initial advantage of natural lightings. The interior is set up with energy-saving LED lights in white and paired with lamps to achieve a high overall saturation; meanwhile, the white colors, the reflection of the mirrors, and polished materials are used to give the interior brightness and unique lighting effects during the day and the night. The designer has combined the large windows with mirrors and stainless-steel frames to replicate the interior and exterior that delivers a new and abstract design effect.

Production Technology

Continuing the aesthetic concept of preserved white, plain stone materials, tiles, mirrors, metals, and piano lacquers are decorated throughout the overall space; the flooring is extended with plain-white and marble-grained ceramic floorings. At the same time, walls of artificial stones are paced to echo with the piano lacquers of cabinets and doors, and the mirrors and colorful eco tiles are used to give the space an elegant sense. Overall is combined with conditions of easy-to-clean, durable, convenient for saloon operating while upholding aesthetic and a timeless style.

Design Challenge

Since the interior flooring is mainly paced with large-scale ceramic panels, the submission for personnel, traffic rights of way, and the safety for hanging are all critical considerations of this project. To take the safety of the upper floors and the difficulty of construction into account, special fasteners were designed to fix them while maintaining a smooth shape. The designer has overcome all challenges one by one, reflecting the ultimate perfection of craftsmanship from the details.

Project Duration

The project is located in Zhongshan District, Taipei City, Taiwan, and is finished in October 2020 after a five-month construction period starting in May 2020.

Operation Flow

The change of hairstyle is no longer a regular task in life; it is a lifestyle that combines attitude and spiritual desire by unique designs. To create an expansive and exclusive environment, the designer designed a cross-shaped traffic flow and used diamond shapes to form the styling area, the columns, mirrors, the lightings of the ceiling, and the lines. At the same time, the four seats are planned individually to maximize the spacing effect; the arrangement gives customers a relaxing environment without interfering with each other while providing hair stylists with their exclusive work area.

Research

The 60-ping base space is transformed from a 40-year-old old house to a clean, simple, and gorgeous hair salon. The low-chroma whites and polished materials have given users a warm and clean impression; meanwhile, the interior is decorated with metallic hardware, selected lightings, and leather chairs to form a refined and elegant style. The ceiling is intentionally wreathed with cross-divided mirrors and diamond-shaped lighting circuits to provide a flowing visual experience and eliminate the pressure brought by the column beams.

Inspiration

Pursuing the original charm of beauty, the founder of leading saloon group in Taiwan has returned to Taipei from decades of residence in South Africa with a passion for hairdressing and a new search in the profession. The designer of this project hoped to bring out the authenticity of hairdressers and visualize the concepts into the space with plainness. Based on the design concept of pure white and reserved white, a snowy dreamland-like space is built to practice simplicity through the mix-and-match of explicit materials, metal, and mirrors.
