Appreciation towards Yasunari Tsukada design for providing the following description:

这所位于日本大阪的美发沙龙拥有一个细长的空间，深度达到28米，宽度只有4.4米。建筑师有效的利用这个长宽比相当有差距的空间，制造了各种功能场所。

The name of this beauty salon was inspired by the owner’s passionate desire to turn it into a destination for “the last word in beauty”. Although the design was first completed about five years ago, the previous premises soon grew to feel a little cramped due to the rapidly expanding size of the team, which prompted the owner to move to a new and larger location.

抽象纯白色空间中排放着原木家具，建筑师沿着墙面打造了一个储物格。镜子，照明灯具，美发用品主要在这一面上各就各位。

这个清爽的空间是建筑师同业主共同讨论的结果，期望业主在开业五年后，第一次扩大自己店面时的这个全新的设计，能成为其事业发展的推力。

The rented unit that the owner had prepared as the new platform for his venture was a slender, elongated space measuring 28m deep, with a frontage of 4.4m. Taking advantage of this narrow frontage, we configured each of the spaces in a straightforward manner by taking cues from the existing frame and contours of the property. In addition, by making efficient use of the length of the unit, we were able to maintain a certain distance between each space while connecting them seamlessly to each other. Keeping the number of partitions to an absolute minimum and painting the entire space white achieved a feeling of abstraction, as well as a sense of giving equal importance to both the new and old materials that comprise the walls, ceilings, and floors. The result was an interior that gave pride of place to the people and objects within it.

The styling space is where the owner’s particular obsessions and passions came to the fore. He requested that we incorporate various functional elements into the mirrored surfaces (for storing or hanging objects). In response, we wondered if we could create flexible, extensible walls without imposing any limitations on their functionality. In concrete terms, our solution involved building three-dimensional lattice screens resembling parts of a jungle gym that function as architectural pieces of furniture. These screens were created using only a structural framework, with no particular significance attached to the form of the lattice itself. When lighting fixtures, glass panels, hooks and other objects are attached, however, the lattice begins to take on a new dimension. Affixing glass panels turns them into display shelves, or tables for the use of customers. Just imagine the transformations that these lattice screens will undergo, thanks to the multiple efforts and innovations of the staff…

Our heated, passionate discussions with the owner gave us real food for thought. Over the course of many meetings, our plans and designs continued to evolve and change repeatedly. Before long, we found ourselves starting to enjoy the progress of these changes. Thus was born a space that would serve as a base for the owner and his team to communicate their ideas and thoughts to their clients, promising the start of a new phase in its evolution and growth.

Designer Philosophy -Thinking through things: 

I am a designer. My work involves designing interiors, spaces, architecture, furniture and other objects. Although they’re just titles and designations, the act of referring to yourself as an interior designer or an architect seems to imply that you’re prioritizing one thing over another. So I’ve decided to simply call myself a “designer”. The scope of what I design isn’t fixed. I think about all things and objects on the same plane as possible targets for design, and constantly think about what it means to “design” something. Personally, I feel that design is a heuristic act that involves creating and discovering new objects and things. Thinking that something is wrong or mistaken, or that something ought to be, or about whether something is really the case – I’m constantly turning these things around in my head, trying to get a different handle on things, or attempting to find a different sort of value within them. This, to me, is what it means to be new or innovative. In order to live rich and fulfilling everyday lives, we need to familiarize ourselves with new value systems, worldviews, and ways of accepting things. By making and crafting objects, I hope to be able to offer people a diverse range of new values.
