日语音素“en”的概念不仅指“美”，也指“圆”和“连”。设计理念的灵感来源于“en”这三种含义。

Concepts The Japanese phoneme “en” means not only “Beauty” but also “Circle” and “Connection”. The design concept is inspired by these three meanings of “en“.

-圆圈但是，为了满足函数的要求，创建了新的分区。所有的分区都是以圆形的形式组成，形成柔软的圆形内部空间，适合私人使用，如咨询、治疗、按摩和精华融合。圆空间的内表面用白色来表示一个纯空间。

-Circle- As the existing venue has a long history and the quality of space, most of existing structural elements were preserved. But new partitions were created to meet the requirements of functions. All of the partitions are composed in circle forms to create soft rounded internal spaces, which are suitable for private uses as counseling, treatment, massage and essence blending. The internal surfaces of the circle spaces are finished in white to express a pure space.

-连接-由圆圈分区切断的空间连接所有所需的功能。在现存的墙壁和完整的圆形隔断之间的剩余空间创造了一个几何好奇的形式和一个具有美学经验的原始循环。顾客不能直接进入每个服务房间，但必须沿着蜿蜒的道路走向目的地。这种让游客走来走去，提高他的期望值的方法，是典型的日本人的好客方式，就像传统的茶文化一样。

-Connection- The space cut off by the circle partitions connects all the required functions. This remaining space between the existing walls and the integrated circle partitions creates a geometrically curious form and an original circulation with an aesthetical experience. The customer cannot get into each service rooms directly, but must walk along a winding path toward the destination. This method that let the visitors walk along and enhance his expectation is typical Japanese way of hospitality, as in the traditional tea culture.

现有空间分为4间：地下室有石拱形空间的房间2间，底层用白色灰泥装饰的房间2间。每个房间都有不同规模的圆圈，以创建一个功能计划。房间1：入口和精品店，Rom 2：咨询和治疗空间，Rom 3：大厅和按摩空间，Room 4：产品展厅和混合柜台。通过每一步，客户深入到“恩”美的世界。

Composition The existing spaces were divided into 4 main rooms: 2 rooms with stone vaulted spaces in the basement and 2 rooms finished with white plaster on the ground floor. A different scale of circles is composed for each room to create a functional plan. Room1: the entrance and the boutique, Room2: the counseling and the treatment space, Room3: the hall and the massage space, Room4: the product gallery and the blending counter. By passing through each step, the customer gets deeply into the world of “en” beauty.

展示这个品牌令人印象深刻的地方是展示它的所有产品。这让人想起了酒窖里的兴奋。展示产品的灵感来自法国酿酒厂的储藏方法。每个瓶子分别展示与特殊照明。这些储藏箱是用日本泡桐木制成的，也被堆放起来，以营造一种地窖的气氛。

Display The impressive point of this brand is to exhibit all its products. This reminds the excitement in a wine cellar. The display of products is inspired by the method of storage of French wineries. Each bottle is displayed separately with special lighting. The boxes for storage, which were made with Japanese paulownia wood, are also stacked and displayed to create a cellar atmosphere.
