This salon has been designed as a space that maximizes the history of the region and the charm of the building, offering visitors a truly special experience. By using traditional earthen flooring as the main feature and applying a modern composition to the existing structure, we have created a space where the warmth of natural materials harmonizes with a sense of tranquility.Save this picture!The original building structure has been integrated as part of the design, with intentionally high ceilings and oversized fittings, creating a vertically expansive and open space. Natural light softly illuminates the interior, and the interplay of light and shadow throughout the day offers visitors a constantly evolving expression of the space.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!By exposing the existing structural framework and finishing all other surfaces with white earthen plaster, we have simplified the elements of the space, eliminating unnecessary distractions to create a comfortable environment where visitors can feel at ease. This simple yet serene design not only ensures functionality as a workspace but also provides a sense of calm and relaxation to all who enter.Save this picture!As a space deeply rooted in the community, this salon inherits the charm of a building cherished for generations while introducing new value and a sense of healing.
