Description
Under new management, the revamp of an established Barbershop in Enmore wanted to do more. The new owners picked up on the lack of a relaxing coffee shop on the western end of Enmore Road, and came up with the idea of a barbershop cafe .
The small 40m2 shop has been split to run independently as a coffee shop for passers by, while functioning as a traditional barbershop for regular and new customers.
Questions and Answers
What was the brief?
The brief was two fold. Revamp and renew the dated interior of the established barbershop, and capatilise on the lack of coffee in the immediate area to help establish the new shop as a relaxing hub for locals and passers by.
What were the key challenges?
The key challenge was the restricted space and timing.
The brief required to retain the number of barber chairs for regular customers, while including the cafe. The new owners took a lead role in establising the brief as well as project management during construction to ensure the shop was reopened after a short Christmas closure.
Who are the clients and what's interesting about them?
The clients went 'all-in' with this project. They were extremely hands-on and headed in all aspects of the design and construction process. They spent countless hours pouring over plans to ensure that the design met their brief, they met with graphic designers to establish a brand and image, and traveled all over Sydney to hand select materials, finishes and trades.
