# Copper Castles Archivision Hirotani Studio Beauty Parlour in Tokyo By Alex Scott | Published 2010-01-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archivision-hirotani-studio References: [loudreams](http://www.loudreams.com/2010/01/07/fujitsubo-archivision-hirotani-studio/#more-13005) & [archivision-hs.co.jp](http://www.archivision-hs.co.jp/)  I always enjoy walking downtown in my home city and seeing a new store open that defies the conventional means of consumer architecture, whether it’s a clothing store shaped like a jagged piece of metal or a restaurant that resembles a Lego structure built by an eight year old. The Archivision Hirotani Studio beauty parlor trumps anything I have seen before however. With the exterior plated with solid copper, the Archivision Hirotani Studio looks more like a military stronghold than a place to get a manicure. The next time you find yourself in need of a facial when you’re in Tokyo, make sure you stop here. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Warehouse Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volga-house.md) - [Openly Outdoor Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallflower-architecture.md) - [Hyper Angled Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angled-architecture.md) - [Japanese Linear Lodges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plus-house1.md) - [New Urbanist Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lorcan-oherlihy.md) - [Otherwordly Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otherworldly-architecture.md) - [Propeller-Like Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-amsterdam-plein-pavillion.md) - [Ribbon-Wrapped Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ron-arad-design-museum.md) - [Tide-Inspired Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suncheon-international-wetlands.md) - [Copper Clad Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/copper-clad-house.md)
