In January of 2025 I began designing a barbershop located in downtown Philadelphia.
The renovation is currently in progress.
Roman’s Barbershop will open to the public on April 1st
I met Max and Phil in January of 2025.
They had decided to open their own shop and found a space at 2120 Walnut St.
The previous space was a massage & nail parlor and had been stripped to bare walls.
STORY
photos of the space, January 2025
I began by making construction drawings and look books, talking to local contractors to get bids for the work, and sourcing the materials and fixtures all within the client’s budget.
Demo began in February. After stripping the floors, removing a few walls, and adding plumbing - I began to select finishes for the space.
Construction lasted until the beginning of April - final finishes are currently being installed.
The furniture and fixtures for the space will be sourced from trips to flea markets and vintage marketplaces. Every object has a special story.
