Boutique and Barbershop | ATELIERDACOSTA
Boutique and Barbershop is a retail space designed by the architectural firm ATELIERDACOSTA. When we first visited the corner space and heard the program description from the client, a clear motto came: the program could quickly be settled by designing only a kind of a solo device, a cabinet, an apparatus of wood or/and metal, placed inside that space. The whole piece is the machine that concentrates the productiveness to serve the space it defines and where the consumption takes place.
