Birds Barbershop / Domain—

Austin, TX / Retail, Barbershop

This Birds Barbershop Domain is located on Rock Rose, which is celebrated as a piece of Austin’s long-time local establishments all coming together to create their own individual, architectural statements on one section of streetscape. The assigned space was small and narrow, however, it presented a great opportunity to set itself apart visually and spatially from every other shop on the street.

With only an 18-foot wide storefront to work with, we chose to wrap the entire exterior facade in artificial turf, which played well with our chosen “Preppy Yard Game” theme and made a graphic impact compared to the other storefronts.

The interior of Birds Barbershop Domain was just wide enough to space plan a center aisle with barber chairs on both sides, while having fun with interior color, wallpaper, yard game props and lighting.

Functionally, the finished project provided the efficiency needed for the stylists, as well as maintained Birds Barbershop’s identity and playfulness of urban streetscape and art.
