KAMIYUBI HIROSHIMA

The interior design for the Hiroshima store of Kamiyubi, a body care massage studio for professional athletes, demanded a sense of luxury on a low budget. To meet this challenge, the studio's design conveys the powerful essence of massages aimed at professional athletes through a linear layout, while the flexibility of the massages is represented by wave-like patterns on the wall surfaces. Furthermore, the decision to structure the floor plan with straight lines, limit the number of materials used, and opt for readily available and inexpensive materials contributes to cost reduction. Additionally, considering the business type, where clients typically focus on the ceiling and floor, the design minimizes potential distractions by limiting the number of lights and focusing on indirect lighting. This approach not only reduces costs but also maintains the intended aesthetic.
