架构师提供的文本描述。围绕着水的主题，我们设计了一家名为ARKHE的美容院(指古代认为水是一切创造的源泉)的美容院。

Text description provided by the architects. We designed a beauty salon named ARKHE (refers to the ancient belief that water is the source of all creation) around the theme of water.

这是一个由原材料的魅力构成的空间，因此，通过铝的使用和材料的美，我们创造了一个充满短暂和不断变化的光的空间，就像光在水面上的反射一样。

This is a space made up by the charm of its raw materials, thus, by using aluminum and bringing out the beauty of the material ,we bring into existence a space filled with transient and ever-changing light, like the reflection of light on the surface of water.

“再生铝板”用来表达水和头发的流动，反射轻柔的光线，就像水面上闪烁的光，在空间中充满优雅和性感的曲线。

”Recycled aluminum sheet " was used to express the flow of water and hair, reflecting the airily soft light, like sparkling light on water’s surface, and filling the space with elegant and sensual curves.

墙壁被画在银色的阴影中，模仿水面上光线的反射。

The walls are painted in a silver shade that mimics the glimmering reflection of light on the surface of water.

铝的流量自由变化，同时提供适合每个区域的功能和氛围：一个流动柔和的空间和一个用于理发区的高天花板空间；一个具有硬电流的空间和中间过道区域的高度差变化空间，以及一个用于等待区域的天花板较低的空间。

The aluminum’s flow changes freely while providing a function and atmosphere suited to each area:a space with a gentle flow and a high ceiling for the haircutting area; a space with a stiff current and changes in height difference for the center aisle area and a space with a low ceiling for the waiting area.

这样就可以根据观众的位置和时间的推移，细致地感知白天光线的变化(从白天的明亮的白色到晚上更感性的蓝色和紫色)，并体验到一个具有短暂而多样的氛围的空间。

This allows to minutely perceive the changes in light throughout the day(from bright white during the day to more emotional  blue and purple hues by night),according to the viewer’s location and the passage of time, as well as to experience a space with transient and diverse atmospheres.

水是所有生命的源泉，这个空间投射出一个清晰的形象，作为美容院追求美的起源。

Water is the source of all life, and this space projects an image of clarity as a beauty salon in pursuit of the origin of beauty.

此外，由于可持续方面的空间具有奇异性，我们采用了铝制天花板零件的装配方法，以便在将业务转移到不同的位置时能够拆卸和重新安装。在此过程中，我们设计了一种有效降低移动成本的方法。

Sustainable Aspects  Moreover, since they give the space its singularity, we adapted the assembly method of the aluminum ceiling parts so as to be able to disassemble and reinstall them when moving the business to a different location. In doing so, we devised a way to effectively reduce the costs of moving
