The Design
About Mook Salon
Bu salonun iç mekanı farklı ifadelere sahip meşe ağacından oluşmaktadır. Meşe ağacının düzgünsüzlüğü dışarıdan gelen ışığı emerek ona derinlik kazandırır ve odanın derinliklerine nüfuz etmesini sağlar. İç mekan da dışarıya doğru uzanarak bir mağara izlenimi veriyor, iç ve dış mekan bir bütün olarak tasarlandı. Cam cephe, salonun şehirdeki etkinliğini yansıtarak insanların hareketini tasarımın bir parçası haline getiriyor.

- 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. - Dimensions & Packaging

- 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.
