Flip Layout:The space is a 60-square-meter square area. The client hopes to accommodate five nail stations and three eyelash stations while also having a small office space and a storage area. Additionally, they wish to ensure that there is no direct line of sight and minimal disturbance between the nail and eyelash areas.In order to achieve that, we broke the existing framework and rotated the original layout by 60 degrees. Ingeniously, we redirected the line of sight of eyelash clients towards the window, and the void created by the rotation accommodated the auxiliary functions perfectly. The rotation of the floor plan gives this originally straightforward space a "maze-like clarity." Two slanted walls define the entrance space, making the customers cannot immediately grasp the scale and space of the interior. Stepping inside, a geometric beauty brought by the linear spatial syntax, while the central node device, placed at the visual focal point, forms a clear guiding path.



Spatial Order:The green panels define the space but do not fully separate it. Together with the silver-gray curtains hanging from the ceiling, they create the fundamental structure of the space.

The occupancy of volume is the perception of spatial envelopment. The meandering walls along the edges dissolve the original square space, creating an entirely new environment that offers customers a spatial experience entirely different from traditional flat coordinates.The rod installation is an adjustment to the spatial density. The placement of rods at the intersection of pathways, in turn, increases the depth of the space.



Space Time Mirror:Mirrors along one-third of the wall in a circular pattern together with the full-light film ceiling make the boundaries between ceiling and walls disappear. It creates a feeling that the sight line can extend infinitely.Mirrors, panels, and curtains together create a multi-layered virtual space. This kaleidoscopic visual illusion extends the visitors' experience from the real world into the virtual world, giving rise to a multi-screen play in space.
