Once the research phase was completed, the design team was responsible for finding unity between the instances and the suggestions collected. In addition, these elements had to be “embroidered” together with the customer’s desires and the technical needs required by the activity. The goal was to translate everything into a harmonious, aesthetically interesting and not at all predictable space.

If the plunge into history during the research phase was a moment of fascination, the realization phase was for ACS Architecture Lab the most experimental one. Colours, lights and materials had to be inserted coherently in a space that gave them the right architectural connotation. To this end, every single element, from furniture to the finest finishes, has been studied, designed, sampled and eventually manufactured. This was not a simple phase, especially when it comes to finding a compromise between the client’s wishes and the architect’s vision. In this case, the most critical point was the dialogue with the customer about the choice of a white wood panelling, necessary in order to balance the blue of the walls but initially considered not suitable for a barber shop according to the client's opinion.
