About Island Primary Function: Salon sa Buhok

Ang Island usa ka salon sa buhok nga nahimutang sulod sa usa ka kwarenta anyos nga balay nga adunay 165 metro kwadrado. Ang renobasyon naglikay sa detalyado nga dekorasyon. Ang gi-recycle nga dekoratibong mga troso mipuli sa mga bungbong sa sulod ug naglihok isip mga divider screen, nga naghimo og see-through nga epekto, mas hayag nga kwarto, ug yano ug klaro nga daloy. Ang daghang lunhaw nga mga dahon ug nagakatkat nga mga tanom nagpuno sa espasyo. Usa ka sistema sa pagbisibis nga gipadagan sa grabidad base sa teorya sa siphon mipuli sa mekanikal nga irigasyon, nga nagpuno sa napulog-usa ka tangke nga pantay ug nagdugang sa tingog sa nagtulo nga tubig. Ang disenyo nagdala sa natural nga mga elemento ngadto sa urban nga palibot.

Production Technology
Recycled decorative logs are used to partition the space, and walls are abandoned to enhance the flow of the space with the see-through effect created by the logs. It is, therefore, brighter and breaths a new trend into the space.
Simple physics is applied to the watering system. Energy-consumed and difficult to maintain mechanical irrigation is replaced. Meanwhile, the space is filled with the sound of dripping water with help of gravity-powered watering system.
Design Challenge
The scene of dense tropical greenery and climbing plants is moved into the interior space. One can see the abundant green foliage, smell the plants and listen to the sound of dripping water and be temporarily rid of the fuss in the city and eventually reach a harmonious balance between nature and city.

Research
Using siphon theory where air pressure pushes down on water and water fills up 11 tanks evenly in the corners until water supply is stopped.
Decorative logs are tied and wrapped with cotton and linen fabric to allow water to be evenly distributed to the logs thus climbing plants can absorb water evenly.
An urban space is enriched with nature elements and a simple physical principle.
Inspiration
Birds sing, water flows, wood and plants release the fragrance of nature. A place, filled with greenery and vitality, differentiates itself from the rest of hair salons and reinterpret the spatial concept.
Project Duration
The project started in November 2019 and finished in December 2019 in Taipei.
Operation Flow
It is intended to introduce nature elements into an urban space with simplicity principle and thus provides another form of design theory.
