*두바이 바버샵, 미니멀한 미학이 돋보이는 이용원-[ Tarik Zaharna ] Clean-Cut Minimalism and Tradition at AKIN Barber & Shop in Dubai

Anarchitect는 Tarik Zaharna와 콜라보를 통해 남성들을 위한 이용실을 디자인하였다.

디자인은 러프한 콘크리트 표면에 와이어 트레이와 서비스 파이프를 통해 조성하였다. 가벼운 무게의 해변 구조를 암시하는 이 목재 프레임은 기능적 공간과 이용관련 사품을 올려 놓을 수 있는 선반들을 구성하고 있다.

커스텀 디자인한 가죽 의자와 건물 로비에서 보이는 청동 AKIN 로고가 매우 모던하면서도 미니멀한 미학이 돋보이는 이용실의 전통을 이었다.

 

Designed by local architectural studio Anarchitect in collaboration with Tarik Zaharna {Tzed Architects}, AKIN’s takes a contemporary, clean-cut approach to men’s grooming combining an urban, industrial vibe with hand-crafted, tactile architecture. The design retains the existing cell of the space with its rough concrete surfaces, wire trays and service pipes, while inserting a second, permeable layer in the form of a solid ash frame inside. Alluding to lightweight beach structures, this wooden framework demarcates the functional space and supports display shelving for grooming products. The result of this space-within-a-space concept is to maximise the shop’s volume, all the while creating a sense of lightness and spaciousness - also enhanced by the diffused daylight filtering through the translucent glazing elevation behind the barber zone.

As the architects only had a limited 35-square-metre space to work with, every aspect of the shop has been carefully thought out. One such example is how the shop’s entrance has been set back from the building’s lobby which allows for more optimised circulation on the one hand while providing a “buffer zone” allowing for discreet views of the barbers at work from the lobby.

The interior’s elements which have been custom designed and handmade in the UAE further convey the interplay between the industrial, the urban and the hand-crafted through the use and detailing of primary materials such as powder-coated aluminium panels that fill the open grain wooden joinery, Corian sinks that sit atop blond wooden shelves and black & white hexagonal mosaic tiles, defining the barbering zone, abut the parquet floor of the waiting and merchandize areas. Meanwhile, the use of mosaic, the custom-designed leather barber stations and the inset brushed-brass AKIN logo in the building’s lobby are a nod to the barbering tradition in an otherwise quite modern and minimal aesthetic.
