Atmosphere of the old house In order to continue the spirit of a 40 years old house, a pitched roof structure and the atmosphere of high-rise second-floor are maintained, keeping the light brought by the long windows, resetting the sunny courtyard and launching an organic placement in the narrow site.
Leisurely space level The old street house is a section by section sequence of spaces and salon’s space is staged like a lounge. The cast iron handrail on the first floor implies the existence of space on second floor; a set of gradient brown wavy shelves integrates counters, product cabinets and mirrors. The third layer of bead curtain creates a subtle sense of depth and the colorful dyes become the visual end scene. The atrium deliberately kept the mottled traces of the original brick wall, stepped on the pebbles that were once quietly lying under the old house and read the new story of the old house slowly.
The Conversation and Contrast in Its own history The newly installed wavy shelves, bead curtains, curved handrails and intentionally reserved building elements such as the old stucco walls, brick walls, pebbles of foundation and spotted wood beams are coexisting in this space, forming a “rough and delicate” contrast. It’s also an expression of both innovation and nostalgia.
