English	This is the hair salon located on the roadside. We thought about architecturally recombining the activity elements of the hair salon, townscape, and objects. Cut spaces with large mirrors (RC walls) exceeded human scale are arranged in a staggered manner, and large wooden counters (CLT roofs) are placed between them. By replacing the timber that was once washed away with roofs and incorporating the reflections of cars on the roadside, the flowing landscape of the past and present is superimposed on the architecture. The small activity elements of the hair salon create a natural architecture in which objects are mixed in a multilayered manner.
Native	区画整理に伴い建替が必要になった、地方のロードサイドに建つ美容院である。前面道路は終日車が往来し周りは駐車場が多くを占めるが、市域の3/4を森林に覆われる地域であり、林業が盛んで昔から木材（西川材）を筏で流送していた。地域資源の利活用が推進されているが、非住宅低層建築物の木造木質化は進んでいない。クライアントからは、明るく広いスペースとウイルス対策に有効な換気性能、それを担保するサスティナブルな建築が求められた。これら多様な状況が自然に建ち現れたような空間をつくれないか、建築の意匠や形式から離れ、美容院の活動やまちの風景、モノコトを建築的に組み換えることから考えていった。ヒューマンスケールを超える大きな鏡（RC壁）をもつ2.3m角のカットスペースをずらしながら配置し、間に大きな木机（CLT屋根）を架けていく。それらはアングルとビスだけのまさに家具と同じ簡易的構法で接合し、RC壁は面外荷重に対応、CLT屋根は梁のない長スパンの架構をつくる。防耐火条件や環境性能に適材適所に対応し、重量や熱負荷、コストを抑えながら木目を最大限に表す。屋根の間からは間接光が差込み、屋根伝いに流れる風が髪を巻き上げることなく有効な重力換気を促す。内外に連続する植栽は反射で増幅され、緑に包まれた環境をつくる。かつて流送した木材を屋根に、ロードサイドの車を反射で取込み、今昔の流れる風景を建物に重ねる。美容院の小さな活動要素が意味や用途、スケールを超えて建ち現れ、モノコトが多層的に混成する自然な建築を創造した。
