MT Fashion Center Hair Style Technical Training

Golden A' Design Award Winner 2020

T&P Architectural Design Studio's Hair Style Technical Training center employs spatial symbolism that transforms a functional educational environment into an initiatory threshold between ordinary existence and elevated aesthetic consciousness. The pervasive whiteness of the undulating walls carries deep archetypal resonance with purification rituals, tabula rasa states of becoming, and the liminal spaces of transformation found across cultural traditions from baptismal fonts to meditation chambers. The organic biomorphic curves suggest the maternal vessel, the cocoon, or the chrysalis, spaces of protected metamorphosis where one form dissolves to allow another to emerge, an apt metaphor for an environment dedicated to personal transformation through beauty practices. The mirror ceiling installation operates as a symbolic aperture between realms, where fragmented reflections multiply identity and perspective while the surrounding feather clouds evoke ascension imagery, angelic presence, and the lightness associated with spiritual elevation across numerous traditions. The calligraphic floor markings introduce the symbolism of the gesture, the spontaneous creative act that leaves permanent trace, suggesting the artistic intuition that distinguishes mastery from mere technique in hair styling practice. The preserved moss island functions as an axis mundi, a point of grounding earth energy within the ethereal white space, maintaining connection to natural growth cycles and organic processes even within the highly constructed environment. The birch grove visible through the archway carries rich symbolic associations with renewal, new beginnings, and the sacred groves of numerous traditions, while the distinctive white bark with dark markings mirrors the palette of the interior itself. The gold cylindrical tables introduce solar symbolism and material preciousness, elevating everyday functions to ceremonial status. Collectively, the space reads as a contemporary temple of transformation where the ancient human desire for beauty and renewal finds expression through the sophisticated vocabulary of parametric design and material innovation.

MT Fashion Center is a member-only interior space used for meetings, modeling training, catwalk shows and private image creation. The design links five areas through curved surfaces made of glass reinforced gypsum, which recall melting glaciers. Walls and ceilings merge, so the boundaries between rooms appear to dissolve. The floor is finished with epoxy paint in the style of Chinese ink painting, and the pattern runs through the whole space like flowing water. Chiffon hides the technical equipment in the workshop ceiling. The project covers 270 square meters.
