Chrystalline Architects have designed a lovely dark and sexy hair spa in Indonesia called Hairu. They offer massage and treatment for hair loss. I love their use of wooden slatting as a screening device. On the inside the white curtains keeps things nice, light and airy. Found via ArchDaily. I can’t find Hairu’s Website if … Read more
