In 2018, a barbershop underwent a creative transformation into a delightful ice cream shop, showcasing how smart design and 3D modeling can reimagine a space. The project involved thorough site analysis, client consultations, and detailed architectural planning. The design optimized the flow of customers and staff while creating a fun, vibrant atmosphere through carefully chosen lighting, color schemes, and materials. The shop's layout was designed to enhance the customer experience, incorporating efficient storage, seating arrangements, and points of sale, all while adhering to Ontario Building Code (OBC) regulations and sustainable design principles.
The design philosophy centered around crafting a lively, welcoming space that resonates with the joy of an ice cream shop. Key elements included space utilization, the use of natural light, and meticulous 3D modeling to visualize and refine the layout. The design process went through phases of conceptualization, 3D modeling, blueprint development, and material selection, ensuring every detail contributed to the shop's functionality and aesthetic appeal. The successful conversion not only met the client’s expectations but also resulted in a memorable, functional space that reflects the charm of a modern ice cream parlor.
