About Mook Салон

Ентеријер овог салона је састављен од храстовог дрвета разноврсног израза. Неравнина храста упија светлост споља, дајући јој дубину и омогућавајући јој да продре дубоко у просторију. Унутрашњост се такође протеже ка споља, дајући утисак пећине, при чему су ентеријер и екстеријер дизајнирани као једно. Стаклена фасада одражава активност салона у граду, чинећи кретање људи дијелом дизајна.

Unique Properties
It is a hair salon on the ground floor of a building in Nakazakicho,
Nakazakicho is a town consisted of terraced house and low-rise apartment, and those narrow curved alleyways are functioning as the connection of the people and local community, The building of the hair salon as well is facing those gently-curved alleyway, and we consisted the space design as making a cave towards the front street, as the facade would seem to be blend in with the street, and the scenery of the diverse town.

Production Technology
For the renovation of the building, we started by creating cavities from the street to the back of the building to allow light to pass through.
These cavities are covered with oak panels to soften and control the light a little, and to direct it from the street to the back of the building.
Design Challenge
The uneven oak was difficult to work with. The varying thicknesses, lengths and smoothness of the wood made it time consuming to construct. However, the hard work was worth it and the joy of completion was fantastic.
Research
Introduction of light in the city centre: the creation of a light cave from the street to the back of the building, bringing light into the ground floor rooms of the normally dark city centre.
Embracing diversity: By arranging the uneven pre-sawn oak, we have succeeded in expressing the natural beauty of unevenness.
Inspiration
The space is consisted of the untimbered oak panels which each has uneven face, The uneven look of the oak is a testament to the diversity of people who visit and operate the shop.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2014 in Osaka and finished in August 2015
Operation Flow
Operation by salon owner and staff. 5 mirrors.
Patents
