mook hair salon

It is a hair salon on the ground floor of a building in Nakazakicho, Osaka. Nakazakicho is a town consisted of Nagaya (Japanese style terraced house) and low-rise apartment, and those narrow curved alleyways are functioning as the connection of the people and local community, The building of the hair salon as well is facing those gently-curved alleyway, and we consisted the space design as making a cave towards the front street, as the entrance facade would seem to be blend in with the street and the scenery of the diverse town. Inside cave, those rough oak panels beautifully deliver the outside light as lines. Mirrors are in unique shape as height, width, and depth, to correspond the uneven expressions on the oak wall.
