Located in Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Sin Den was desgined by Klein Dytham Architecture. This project was carried out in the area for a young couple and a baby as their living space with their hair salon. This cutting-edge’ salon attracts those who have their own style and seeks a perfect hideaway.Maybe you’ve noticed that wall tattoos and stickers are not a very hot trend in interior design, and this black box with strong graphic images in white lines is a great example of innovation. From the exterior the house/salon is meant to stand out and draw attention to itself. Filling the 50 square meter site with what is essentially a black box, the designers were trying to create a strong graphic image on the otherwise simple and massive box – displaying the creativity and uniqueness of the home’s inhabitants. – Via – myninjaplease

Painted black, that’s real bold. I like it, but I would hate to be in there on a bright sunny day, i would think it would get really hot inside.
