Illusion and physicality

It is difficult to explain about Bay Road Hair Studio, because it is a simple concept for an ambitious program in a tiny space.  Or maybe it can be summarised into one question:

"How do we make a tiny space feel bigger?"

We created an illusion of ever continuous space as one enters into the space by repeating the same "frame" in the centre of the space.  The frames form into a tunnel, which continues into the mirror at the end...

The frames house different functions: cashier, nail booth, photo booth, shampoo space division...
Hence the tunnel they created is in fact an "organising spine" for the salon.  It also divides the salon into sections for a boutique atmosphere.
The functions physically define the illusion; the illusion physically divides the space....

...I can keep going....
