The hinc Hair Salon / Hitotomori Architects + arinco architects

This project is the interior design of a hair salon renovated from the first floor of a Showa-era retro building near Noda Station in Osaka. The existing triangular floor plan, high ceilings, reinforced concrete columns, and beams with haunches had aged beautifully over time. Some might call it deterioration, while others may describe it as beauty cultivated by time. We shared this intrinsic beauty with the client and planned the space with minimal intervention to preserve this beautiful structure as much as possible.
