English	As you walk slowly into the room, you’ll find the unpolished structure that is spread with the Japanese traditional color: knojyo, with the darkest hues being kept for the ceiling while the warm tones of the sand color are used on the walls, and the floor is featured with the light brown color of teak, thus creating a very unique visual experience that seems like a space being separated into the night sky and the earth. This also contributes to creating a calm, tranquil environment for clients to receive hair services.
Native	優雅和諧地在世界上找到自己的歸屬之處。一天之中最忙碌的時間裡，暫時擱下工作，在這裡度過一段平靜的時光。有別於一般硬派的既有印象，主理人希望可以打造優雅放鬆的Barber Shop場域；外牆碳化木立面肌理沉穩並安靜的引導視覺聚焦於此，退縮傾斜的立面藉由開口、透明性、座椅及尺度變化為駐足的客人創造彈性的使用行為與視覺經驗。緩步走進室內空間，未加修飾的結構體以大面積的紺青色(KONJYO)為背景，刻意將深沉的色調安排在天花板，而溫暖淨亮的沙色與柚木色調分布在壁面及地坪之上，彷若如同夜空與大地一分為二的配置呈現與以往不同的空間經驗，同時也創造讓身處其中的使用者心緒靜謐穩定且穩潤放鬆的理容氛圍。藉著純粹的背景將干擾視覺的線條抹除，點綴黃銅色的檯面、線條、五金及燈飾，讓視覺更加鮮明富有立體感，落地窗引進了市中心難得的綠意，隨著開放及私密區域的漸進式安排，強化空間的深度，也帶給使用者優雅、放鬆的空間感受。
