About Island 헤어살롱

아일랜드(Island)는 165제곱미터 규모의 40년 된 주택 안에 조성된 헤어살롱이다. 리노베이션은 화려한 장식을 지양했다. 재활용된 장식용 원목이 실내 벽체를 대신하며 파티션 스크린 역할을 하여, 시선이 통하는 투과 효과와 더욱 밝은 공간, 그리고 단순하고 명확한 동선을 만들어낸다. 풍성한 녹색 잎과 덩굴 식물이 공간을 가득 채운다. 사이펀 원리를 응용한 중력식 관수 시스템이 기계식 관개 설비를 대신하여 열한 개의 수조에 물을 고르게 채우고, 물방울 떨어지는 소리를 더한다. 이 디자인은 도시적 환경 속으로 자연의 요소를 끌어들인다.

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.
