Even the road in this village is only 4.5 m. wide which limited an one way transportation, every house was built with 8-10m. setback in the front ,for being a yard and growing a big tree for shading, as a green corridor. This characteristic of this village was always used as a place where neighbors are gathering and the kids are playing under a big tree.

Designing phase started when the owner decided to keep an open space in the front, to be a green area. So the whole setback area was designed as a multipurpose area which can be used for parking up to 4 cars. Grass pave was installed for the floor to absorb the rain water. Next to the parking, sliding lath fence is constructed, invites a friendly atmosphere, as well as an eyes on street while people from inside and outside can see each other through the fence which makes a whole community become more livable.

Form and features of O-ART-IM House are simply, while a gable roof and wooden wall are designed imitate the old house’s style. The technique of Overlapping each floor one by one, giving a sense of widen space from a setback rule. A Overlapping part can be used to protect a lower floor from the rain, also used as a terrace for an upper floor.

This is a relocation project for a salon we designed previously. This is the youngest and most lively of the salon’s locations. The staff has curated a collection of books to showcase their ideas and personalities.

The name “vinyl’s mix” reflects the owner’s idea of integrating music, art and other forms of cultural expression into a hair salon. The library represents this ideal.

The premises have a narrow façade flanked by utility meters, and windows facing the cement block wall of the adjacent property. Rough surroundings reflect the raw, unpolished charm and undiscovered potential of the staff. We chose to make use of those features rather than hide them for an energetic vibe.

Steel beams crisscrossing the ceiling became a grid for lighting fixtures. Water pipes running just below the ceiling are repurposed as supports for a bar to hang garments on. The redesigned interior has plenty of textured materials to harmonize with the existing rough, unfinished space, expressing the essence of the salon.

To emphasize the depth of the space, the entrance is a glass sliding door with large, unobstructed panes. Dividers inside are high enough that customers do not feel prying eyes from outside, while still sharing the energy of the space with passersby.
