RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Moreover, iron piece lighting equipment and retro seats are selected to depict the vintage ambience. The dye conditioning and washing area at the back demonstrates a scruffy punk style with the metallic partitioning curtain and irregular hand painted wall, which further applied black leather seats and metallic countertop to present the micro fashion looks. A massive amount of scruffy texture is used with space and the illumination design, while the staircase of the old building extended this rugged style from the ground floor to the second floor.
CHALLENGE: The arrangement variation for the second-floor residential space is for the possibility of future extension in becoming a hair salon space; the overall utilized space to sculpt the venue, the master bedroom and the dining room/kitchen form a small-scale rest area through the combination of passageway and sofa, replacing the installation of door; the glossy coating on the new brick wall and the dim light create a cozy atmosphere.
