The Design

About Sooyou 美容沙龙室内设计

Sooyou是位于中国哈尔滨的一家美容沙龙，主要面向女性顾客。室内设计从人体细胞不断裂变的意象中汲取灵感，通过几何形态与简洁线条将其转化为空间结构。直线与曲线相互结合，勾勒出大体量的几何块面，这些结构的裂变在动线上营造出丰富多变的体验，同时也保障了私密性。深灰与黑色调因一抹红色而变得生动。450平方米的空间运用了水泥漆、毛毡、墙面饰面与石材板等材料。

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: As the largest organ of human body, skin is the interface between the physical body and the outside world. Cells are constantly dying, and new ones are being made simultaneously, to maintain the healthy state of the body.
The design firm drew inspiration from the constant fission of cells in human body, and translated it into spatial structures via geometric shapes and basic lines. The "fission" of structures creates rich experiences along the circulations while also providing privacy.
Dimensions & Packaging: Area: 450 sqm
Main materials: cement paint, felt, wall finishes, stone panels
Tags: Beauty salon, AD ARCHITECTURE, Dark, Cell, Xie Peihe, Art
Production Technology: The overall space is dominated by dark hues, with the areas illuminated as spatial highlights. Shadows extend along the edges of light, leaving infinite room for imagination. The shift of brightness and darkness at different layers stimulates emotional liberation, and offers calming and free experiences throughout the space.
Gray and black shades set the overall tone of the space, which is highlighted and enlivened by a red hue.
Design Challenge: Due to the limited budget, the designers chose to use wooden splints to realize the complex spatial form and structures, which required high degree of accuracy of size, positions and proportions. Moreover, because of COVID-19, the design team was not able to instruct the construction work on site, but simply communicated with workers through video to control the whole construction process, which posed a big challenge to the execution of design solutions.
Research: The project is a pioneering experiment that AD ARCHITECTURE carried out in commercial space design. It breaks conventional order, and injects mysterious and fun characters into the space. The designers drew on the fission and motion of cells to conceive this differentiated space, and finally produced abstract bionic aesthetic.
Inspiration: Situated at Qunli New District, Harbin, China, the project is a beauty salon that mainly targets female consumers. The entrance wall echoes the arcs of the architecture with its curved shape, creates a unique perspective to look inside, and indicates a sense of mystery in the space.
The spatial design is aimed at evoking certain underlying body memories of people.
Project Duration: Start time: January 2020
Completion time: July 2020
Location: Harbin, China
Operation Flow: This is a beauty salon, in the space, straight lines and curves are combined to outline large geometric blocks, and the cool concrete generates dramatic visual effects. Lines stretch and interweave, indicating the fluidity of human cells. As the customers slowly move within the space, the contrast of the static and dynamic will become more apparent.
