Appreciation towards Moriyuki Ochiai Architects for providing the following description:

ARKHE美容美发店以水为题，运用铝材造就出仿佛波光粼粼的天花吊顶。优雅感性的曲线是水与风的协奏曲。银色的墙壁，仿佛也披上水面的微光。

We designed a beauty salon named ARKHE (refers to the ancient belief that water is the source of all creation) around the theme of water.

This is a space made up by the charm of its raw materials, thus, by using aluminum and bringing out the beauty of the material ,we bring into existence a space filled with transient and ever-changing light, like the reflection of light on the surface of water.

“Recycled aluminum sheet ” was used to express the flow of water and hair, reflecting the airily soft light, like sparkling light on water’s surface, and filling the space with elegant and sensual curves.

The walls are painted in a silver shade that mimics the glimmering reflection of light on the surface of water.

自由流动的铝天花适合室内各个区域。白天空间是明亮的白色，到了夜晚，空间的色调渐渐变为蓝色与紫色。变化的一天中，理发店不间断的拥有不同的光影氛围。水是生命之源，ARKHE美容美发店鲜明的体现这一主题。

此外这些铝天花可以方便的分别拆卸并重新安装到其它地方，具有可持续发展价值。

The aluminum’s flow changes freely while providing a function and atmosphere suited to each area: a space with a gentle flow and a high ceiling for the haircutting area; a space with a stiff current and changes in height difference for the center aisle area and a space with a low ceiling for the waiting area.

This allows to minutely perceive the changes in light throughout the day(from bright white during the day to more emotional  blue and purple hues by night),according to the viewer’s location and the passage of time, as well as to experience a space with transient and diverse atmospheres.

Water is the source of all life, and this space projects an image of clarity as a beauty salon in pursuit of the origin of beauty.

– Sustainable Aspects –
Moreover, since they give the space its singularity, we adapted the assembly method of
the aluminum ceiling parts so as to be able to disassemble and reinstall them when
moving the business to a different location. In doing so, we devised a way to effectively
reduce the costs of moving
