Island
Hair Salon for YHS DESIGN
It's used in the renovation of this 40-year-old house with 165 square meter in size. A huge amount of green foliage is planted and decorative logs are used as divider screens in accordance with the space in order to create a simple and clear flow. Siphon watering system works by the force of gravity and the speed of water flowing through tubes. As water is pushed down by air pressure, the lower part of the siphon is heavier than the upper parts thus the force of gravity pulls the heavy side down and takes the water through the tubes. Plants are therefore watered.

Production Technology
Recycled decorative logs are used to partition the space, and walls are abandoned to enhance the flow of the space with the see-through effect created by the logs. It is, therefore, brighter and breaths a new trend into the space. Simple physics is applied to the watering system. Energy-consumed and difficult to maintain mechanical irrigation is replaced. Meanwhile, the space is filled with the sound of dripping water with help of gravity-powered watering system.
Design Challenge
The scene of dense tropical greenery and climbing plants is moved into the interior space. One can see the abundant green foliage, smell the plants and listen to the sound of dripping water and be temporarily rid of the fuss in the city and eventually reach a harmonious balance between nature and city.

Project Duration
The project started in November 2019 and finished in December 2019 in Taipei.
Operation Flow
It is intended to introduce nature elements into an urban space with simplicity principle and thus provides another form of design theory.
Research
Using siphon theory where air pressure pushes down on water and water fills up 11 tanks evenly in the corners until water supply is stopped. Decorative logs are tied and wrapped with cotton and linen fabric to allow water to be evenly distributed to the logs thus climbing plants can absorb water evenly. An urban space is enriched with nature elements and a simple physical principle.
Inspiration
Birds sing, water flows, wood and plants release the fragrance of nature. A place, filled with greenery and vitality, differentiates itself from the rest of hair salons and reinterpret the spatial concept.
