「Concoon」美容沙龙坐落于东京银座，该品牌成立于2000年，至今已有22年的历史。此次对沙龙接待空间的改造，旨在应对疫情的限制，为店铺打造一处通风良好，具有吸引力并易于顾客逗留的场所。

There is a beauty salon “Cocoon” in Ginza district in Tokyo that was founded in 2000. It has been open for 21 years. In the time of COVID restrictions, we were asked to create a space that would be well-ventilated and easy to stop by.

店铺位于银座8丁目高架桥下，即使是在银座区，这种商业空间也是十分罕见的。因此，设计师决定尝试一种新的设计，除了对「Concoon」自创业以来一直使用的柜台进行了重新布局外，还在临街立面上设置了一系列滑动门，以便顾客能够自由出入。实际上，设计师是将整个店铺的立面都转化为一系列滑动推拉门，每扇门的底部都设置有一个镂空的字母，镂空部分为玻璃，这种设置不仅创造出引人注目的入口形式，同时也向外界清晰地传达出店铺的信息。

The place is situated under railway viaduct that is a very rare place to have a store, even in Ginza district. We decided to try a new design by moving the counter that has been used since the establishment of “Cocoon”. We also installed the sliding door in order to enter the place from everywhere. Actually, by using the sliding door instead of building a facade and putting a transparent glass with the store name on the foot level, we managed to pass the information of the store and create an entrance.

此外，设计师还决定采用马赛克瓷砖装饰内墙，有趣的是，室内饰面并没有完全完工，而是需要由顾客亲自购买一块马赛克瓷砖贴在墙上，才算真正完成设计。设计师希望，在今后的20年中，这家店铺能够跟顾客们一起成长，共同书写新的历史篇章。

Moreover, we decided to decorate the inside walls with mosaic tiles, but we did not finish it. We decided to finish the design by asking customers to buy one mosaic tile and paste it to the wall.  We are full of hope that the 20 years history of this place will be passed further.
