The Design

About Island Función Principal: Salón de Peiteado

Island é un salón de peiteado situado nunha casa de corenta anos de 165 metros cadrados. A reforma evita a decoración elaborada. Troncos decorativos reciclados substitúen os muros interiores e actúan como biombos separadores, creando un efecto de transparencia, unha estancia máis luminosa e un fluxo sinxelo e claro. Abundante follaxe verde e plantas trepadoras enchen o espazo. Un sistema de rega por gravidade baseado na teoría do sifón substitúe a irrigación mecánica, enchendo once depósitos de xeito uniforme e engadindo o son da auga a pingar. O deseño trae elementos naturais a un contorno urbano.

Unique Properties: No fancy decoration is used in the renovation of this 40-year-old house with 165 square meter in size. A huge amount of green foliage is planted and decorative logs are used as divider screens in accordance with the space in order to create a simple and clear flow.
Dimensions & Packaging: 165 ㎡
Tags: Beauty，SPA，Planting，Hair Salon
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.

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.
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.
