蜡革命，一家位于墨西哥的新的连锁企业，雇佣我们设计他们在墨西哥城的高档社区Polanco的第二家分店。为了建立一个新的标准，他们认为在脱毛艺术，他们寻求为他们的精品店沙龙设计的空间，将与他们的服务一样独特。

Wax Revolution, a new epilation chain based in Mexico, hired us for the design of their second branch in the upscale neighborhood of Polanco in Mexico City. With the goal of setting a new standard on what they regard as artistry in hair removal, they sought for designed spaces for their boutique salons that would be as unique as their services.

位于50年代翻修后的一座大楼的半地下室里，这是一个狭小、黑暗、潮湿和被严重忽视的空间，几乎完全不为公众所知，但考虑到它位于社区的主要街道之一，它为潜在客户提供了一个独特的机会。

Located in a semi basement of what used to be part of the parking of a refurbished building from the 50s the site was a narrow, dark, humid and terribly neglected space that was almost completely concealed from the public eye, but given its location in one of the main avenues of the neighborhood it represented a unique opportunity in terms of potential clients.

第一个挑战是让一个原本看不见的空间声名狼藉，为此，我们提出了一种由一系列黑色钢框架组成的多面结构，从街道下降到沙龙，就像地铁入口一样，从而使这个地点明显地展现在大量的人们漫步和驾车经过的人群中。品牌标志是固定在最上面的框架，它的两个侧面倾斜到一个45°的角度，以使标志的最大能见度的路人。

The first challenge was to give notoriety to an otherwise invisible space, for this we proposed a faceted structure made from a sequence of black steel frames descending from the street to the salon in a similar fashion to a subway entrance thus making the site evident to the enormous traffic of people strolling and driving by. The brand sign is fixed from the uppermost frame with its two lateral faces tilted to a 45° angle to allow maximum visibility of the logo to the passersby.

在会场入口处，一条又长又窄的走廊变成了沙龙的接待处。使用前台，其面从正门流向大厅尽头，作为房间的主要特征元素，透视被拉长和扭曲，使其具有最需要的空间感。天花板极低的高度是通过使用镜子和黑色改变的，这使人失去了对房间实际尺寸的参考。

At the entrance of the site a long and narrow corridor was converted into the reception of the salon. Using the front desk, with its faceted faces that flow from the main door towards the end of the hall, as the main feature element of the room the perspective is elongated and distorted giving it a most needed sense of spatiality. The extremely low height of the ceiling is altered by the use of mirrors and the color black, which makes one lose reference to the actual dimensions of the room.

一系列货架被用来展示在蜡革命中销售的各种产品，其中包括马林·戈茨(Mallin Goetz)、加州巴克斯特(Baxter)、雪莓(斯诺)、乌斯鲁航空(Uslu Airlines)和瑞士鲁比斯(Rubis)等品牌，这些产品在等待预约时成为

A series of shelves are used to display the various products sold at Wax Revolution which include brands such as Mallin + Goetz, Baxter of California, Snowberry, Uslu Airlines and Rubis Switzerland which become a visual focus point when waiting for an appointment.

后墙是展示特色菜和包裹的黑板，滑动门引导游客进入通往个别服务舱的走廊。每个小木屋都由颜色来分配和识别，颜色可以通过环氧树脂地板上相应的线条来定位。灯被固定在墙上，作为一个45°和90°角的连续条带，作为从空间的低天花板上释放高度的一种方法。

The back wall serves as a chalkboard where the specials and packages are displayed and a sliding door directs the visitor to the corridor that leads to the individual service cabins. Each cabin is assigned and identified by a color which can be located by following the corresponding lines on the epoxy resin floor. The lights are fixed to the wall as a continuous strip with 45° and 90° angles as a way to liberate height from the low ceiling of the space.

位于走廊尽头的一间蓝色小木屋被用作额头棒，并配有可调节的理发师椅。位于对面的是客户的洗手间，淋浴间配有黄色和蓝色的玻璃瓷砖以及工作人员浴室。

A small open blue cabin located at the end of the corridor is used as a brow bar with an adjustable barber’s chair. Located on the opposite side are the client’s restroom and shower with yellow and blue glass tiles along with the staff bathroom.

当沿着额头杆后的走廊右转时，三个主木屋第一次显露出来。形成了一个多面的体积，扩大了走廊的视觉效果，他们被彩色镜子覆盖，以迷人的效果将视图、颜色和灯光放大到无穷大。这些镜子用同样的颜色着色球体，但鉴于这种颜色的脆弱性，它被一种定制的涂料覆盖着，这是西尔皮尔工业公司专门为这个项目研发的，为它提供了必要的阻力，便于维护。

When turning right following the corridor after the brow bar the three main cabins are revealed for the first time. Formed as faceted volumes that expand the visuals of the corridors they are covered with colored mirrors that multiply the views, colors and lights to infinity in a mesmerizing effect. These mirrors are colored with the same tint used to color spheres, but given the fragility of that tint it is covered with a custom made coating that was researched and developed specifically for this project by Sylpyl Industries giving it the necessary resistance for easy maintenance.

与场地其他部分相比，绿色和黄色小木屋的面积增加了明显的高度，这种高度感被明显地延续到位于较低部分的粉红色小木屋，这是由于分面卷的连续性。

The area of the green and yellow cabins gains noticeable height in comparison to the rest of the site and this sense of height is perceptually continued to the pink cabin, which is located in the lower part, by the continuity of the faceted volumes.

每个舱室外部的灯泡，连接到内部的灯，指示它们是否在使用。在木屋内，所有的操作家具都是白色的，而固定的元素与木屋的颜色是相同的。地板上覆盖着天然的油毡，以提供最好的卫生和耐用性。

A light bulb in the exterior of each cabin, which is connected to the light in the interior, indicates if they are in use. Inside the cabins all the operational furniture is colored white while the fixed elements are integrated in the same color as the cabins. The floor is covered with natural linoleum to provide the best levels of hygiene and durability.

五颜六色的小木屋及其不同的几何图形为客户提供了独特的体验，每次参观沙龙都是如此。

The colored cabins and their varying geometry guarantee a unique experience for the clientele with each visit to the salon.
