建筑师在美发区的中心设置了一个“镜面魔方”，连续的镜面部分弯曲、部分平整，当客人站在不同的位置时，镜面会映射出不同的人像和环境，带来千差万别的感受。美发沙龙的主要视觉点缀之一位于接待区，客人在入口前的弧形镜面上看到被扭曲和放大的景象，可让进店的顾客瞬间感到惊艳。接待台由现浇混凝土制成，在视觉上类似于石块，与镜面墙体形成强烈反差。然而，接待台单一的外观并不会妨碍其丰富的功能性：它具有桌面和插入式连接点，以确保完整的工作空间。

 Through the path inside the hairdressing space and thanks to a Mirror Cube, with continuous mirrored surface, convex and flat areas. The project aims to generate different sensations in the visitor, depending on their position and the reflected image that can be obtained of themselves itself and their environment in each moment. One of the main visual accents of the salon is located in the reception area and the user will see a distorted and enlarged reality during the journey from the entrance, which creates an instant wow-effect in visitors. The reception counter is made of cast-in-situ concrete and visually resembles a stone block, making strong contrast of  the continuous mirror wall. However, the monolithic look of the reception does not impede its functionality – it has a desktop and plug-in connection spots to ensure a fully functional workspace.

工程最主要的工作是建造空间中部的“镜面魔方”，外侧是镜面内侧采用黑色木饰面。魔方集合了丰富的功能空间，包含接待台和储物柜、咖啡吧、VIP美发室、VIP洗发室、储藏室。这片巨大的镜面打破了空间的界限，为人们带来了丰富的感知，其本身敦实的体量感和不锈钢镜面肌理之间形成了奇妙的矛盾性和超现实感。

The main effort is centered on the construction of the Mirror Cube, which is made by mirror on the outside and black wood veneer on the inside. The Mirror Cube with rich functional spaces contains reception & closet, coffee bar, vip hair styling, vip hair wash, storage, delimiting the space and at the same time expanding the perception of it. The massive volume of the Cube coated by polished stainless steel makes one feel surreal and paradoxical.
