Hair Room TOARU / Ateliers Takahito Sekiguchi
This is a hair salon located on a local roadside. Cars come and go all day long on the front road, and most of the surrounding area is occupied by parking. But three-fourths of the city area is covered in forest, where forestry is flourishing and timber has long been transported by raft. Although the utilization of local resources is being promoted, the transition to wooden, non-residential, low-rise buildings has yet to progress.
