Interesting White Building : Shiro by 1980/Takuya Hosokai + Hiromasa Mori

In these days some architects can create amazing buildings, and to give an example here it is a building named Shiro, that is a hair salon in Fukui,Japan, made by architects 1980/Takuya Hosokai + Hiromasa Mori. The design is simple, and with a very eye-catching look. Great outlines, unusual angles with a little tension, and ’sharp’ is sure to add meaning to their hair dressing services! This building was finished in 2006 as the designers say, and I hope that today is not to dirty, because that white look can be destroyed very quickly but the level of pollution in these days.

Shiro means white in Japanese, in contrast to Kuro, which means black and which is also the name of the house by the same architects we published last week.
