About W Plus Friseursalon

W Plus ist ein Friseursalon in einer Wohngasse im Ostbezirk von Taipeh, Taiwan. Das Interieur ist, basierend auf einem Laborgarten-Konzept, in drei aufeinanderfolgenden Ebenen angeordnet. Eine deckenhohe Glasfassade öffnet den Salon nach außen, während eine Betonplattform am Eingang einen begrünten Innengarten trägt. Eine mit runden Öffnungen versehene Zementwand unterteilt die Räume und hält den Blick zugleich offen. Grauer Bodenbelag, eine Arbeitsfläche aus Edelstahl sowie recycelte Materialien verleihen dem 196 Quadratmeter großen Raum eine kühle Farbgebung. Der Raum eignet sich zudem für Ausstellungen, Vorträge und Veranstaltungen.

Production Technology
A floor-to-ceiling glass curtain is used for the exterior walls of the salon. The interactions between indoor and outdoor sceneries create a broad, boundless view. When people walk into the entrance, they are greeted with an indoor green garden on a concrete platform. The concrete platform hides the cultivating sight with a sense of natural penetration. There is also a cement wall screen serving as a room divider, and that wall is filled with round holes, creating a penetrating and enticing view through the holes.
Design Challenge
The experimental spatial concept conveys the philosophy of the client, W Plus Salon, which is to make the space continuously improve, and to prompt the borders of different fields to vanish and then stimulate the new possibility.
Research
Everything in the entire space spreads a slightly cool color, with the flooring and the concrete platform having a consistent grey and rough texture, the reception counter and stainless steel work-surface with a cold grey tone, echoing the cold white lighting and the geometric mirror on the wall. The floating plant area scattered at the outdoor balcony is paved with abandoned cement pipes, sand, and gravel, while indoor materials are mostly made of recycled and renewed products.
Inspiration
Haircut is a homonym of subtraction in Mandarin, and this brings out the design concept for this project- subtracting what is unnecessary to give a new look with a beautiful addition relationship. The W Plus Salon space emphasizes the evolution from subtraction to addition, fully elucidating its new brands spirit after its nine years in brewing.
Project Duration
The project finished in June 2020 in Taipei, Taiwan.
Operation Flow
There is no obvious boundary in the space; however, each area is individual but connective harmoniously at the same time, presenting a conceptual experimental space. The space is not only for hair salon, but for exhibition, presentation, party, lecture, or anything that can take place in it.
