Salon O / Takao Shiotsuka Atelier

Nov 2008

It is a hairsalon built in the suburbs. A mountain type design code is repeated from facade and an opening to interior design. This brings the visual effect as an icon to construction. “Paper-cutting” will be a motif if it says.
It seems to assemble space while connecting the paper which clipped out a chevron figure. A repetition of the same figure produces the delicate deviation from the every day required of a hair salon. And it gives the whole building fictiveness.

Ugly… it would be like living in a sterile barn. This house would be appropriate if horses were inhabiting it
I would agree with the statement above if it were a house. However, since it’s a retail space, I think the minimalism is nice. I like how the building reads very flat.
Nice work can any one tell me what the exterior cladding system is ? metal panel of some sort?
