Salon Mittermeier, Hair Salon by Xarchitekten

Mittermeier hair salon in Linz by Austrian architects Xarchitekten features a facade with a “three-dimensional architectural wave”

By looking different from each viewpoint in the street, the three-dimensional wave proves attractive to passers-by.

The appearance of the flowing hair as well as the above inscription, were incorporated into the façade in a way that maintains the relationship with the building’s axes. In this way it harmonises extremely well with the generally uniform environment.

Laminated sheets, arranged vertically with varied spacing and at a right angle to the façade, were used as the material for the (hair) wave. The shapes of the individual sheets were created by a 3D construction process. The shapes were formed using a waterjet cutter. The context of the implementation also includes the colours of the laminated sheets; a golden shade literally swaying between blond and brunette. An integrated handrail in the entrance of the façade demonstrates that despite attaching importance to the basic concept, the function has always been taken into account.
