In a corner of the urban area of ??Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, stands a glass house that looks full of literary and artistic atmosphere and looks very suitable as a cafe space. This is the 2014 BHIS company The work completed in 2016 has the simple beauty of modern architecture, combined with the warmth and simplicity of large-scale wooden furniture. This place, which is like an art space, is the beautiful hair salon "Slundre" that does not look like a hair salon at all.
"Slundre" means "slow and sure", just like you can smell the slow pace and elegant and confident atmosphere exuding here before you even step into this space. BHIS drew inspiration from the ceiling and some exposed steel frames of the original space, and presented the tall and large-capacity interior space in a three-dimensional "cutting" manner, making the interior space as sharp and angular as the cutting surface of a diamond. , avant-garde and modern, but also cleverly uses the tone and temperature of the wood, which greatly softens the sharpness caused by the cutting space, and at the same time separates the area according to various functional areas such as hair cutting, reading waiting area, and hair washing area.
Slundre Salon uses laminated veneer lumber (LVL) as the main building material. The structure that supports it is derived from the existing steel frame. Although the building looks flat from the outside, it looks mysterious inside. The small world is also composed of polyhedrons, which is very strange. BHIS has uniquely created Slundre into an art and cultural space. Watching the sunlight shining through the large wooden display windows makes the process of cutting hair and styling hair a sensory pleasure. If hair salons were all With such a layout, I think everyone will love to come!
