The Design

About Path of Daylight Interieurontwerp Kapsalon

Path of Daylight is een kapsalon interieur gelegen in Taichung City, Taiwan. Boswandelpaden vormen het centrale concept van het ontwerp. Zwarte hardware schetst abstracte lijnen die een blokhut in het bos suggereren. Witte kiezelstenen en groene planten zijn langs de gang geplaatst. Glas en spiegels reflecteren daglicht en creëren wisselend licht en schaduw. De ruimte is verdeeld in een publieke zone met een reserveringsbalie en drie privé-salonruimtes, genaamd urban gentlemen, socialites en modern metropolis. Koude tinten en zachte lichtroze tinten zijn toegepast in de ruimtes.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: With precise words of the designer, the client original hardware and glass materials are paired and redesigned with several new-added materials that outlined the space linear and echoed with the concept of the (forest paths.) Four design areas are divided: the public area and three boxes for salon use with different styles. To correspond with the client service purpose of the high-end hair salon, designed boxes named the (urban gentlemen,) the (socialites,) and the (modern metropolis) are created along with the hardware, glasses, and mirror materials that added the sense of texture.
Dimensions & Packaging: The indoor area is 100 ping, while the designing scope included the public space hallway, the reservation counter, and hair salon boxes in the private area.
Tags: forest paths, steady cold colors, elegant light-pink colors, natural daylight
Production Technology: Glasses, hardware, painted solid wood, mirrors, light screens, plastic tiles.
Design Challenge: According to the space observation, the designer came up with the (cabin in the woods) prototype. To fulfill the client spatial expectations of (metropolis fashion), which every high-end hair salon contains, the designer must get rid of the concrete, wooden house appearance; instead, precise angle calculations and construction methods are applied with black hardware to outline linear. The elements created a three-dimensional design and have delivered the (cabin in the woods) with an abstractive and reinterpreted style.
Research: The public area applied light color tones as the color theme, while light hardware is used to create non-equilateral solid geometries. A few inclined turnings are also applied to the hallway design; pure pebbles and greenery plants spread out wind and natural forest path. Mature and steady cold colors and soft, elegant light-pink colors are applied to the salon boxes; by combining materials that are in between virtual and real, such as mirrors and hardware, three themes: (urban gentlemen), the (socialites), and the (modern metropolis) are divided and created.
Inspiration: This project is a high-end salon space located in Taichung City. To create an overall sense of peace, natural and exquisite, the designer applied (forest paths) as the central concept; black hardware is used to outline the abstractive lines and create an abstract appearance of a fashionable (cabin in the woods.) Meanwhile, pure-white pebbles and greenery plantings are decorated aside to elaborate a relaxing and natural forest hallway. The glasses and mirrors have lightened the changes of shadows and lights through reflections, giving a sense of vividness into the space.
Project Duration: The project finished in March 2020 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: For the entrance design, the designer pieced ironware and light-glass materials to create lightness and transparency; it also echoes with the design concept of the cabin in the woods by merging daylight with the indoor traffic flow and the light-toned interior colors to create a peaceful vibe. Meanwhile, the spacious traffic flow of the entrance has also allowed customers to walk in and out freely; when it is raining outside, users are also able to drive their cars into the hallway, and visit the counter or the salon boxes across the driveway, bringing both aesthetic and functionality.
