Design & Build
We were tasked by a musician client to create a truly remarkable, multi-functional wooden cabinet design. Spanning an impressive 6-meter-long wall and reaching a height of 4.5 meters, this cabinet presents a unique challenge due to the presence of 2 AC split units and 3 structural beams intricately integrated into the wall.
The client’s vision for this cabinet is twofold: to provide functional storage features, including a concealed TV compartment, while showcasing a distinct design. Inspired by the iconic Fender Stratocaster guitar, the cabinet’s overall shape mimics the guitar's unique contours, highlighted by an oak veneer niche elegantly wrapped in glossy white wood. Covering a vast area of 5 meters wide and 3.5 meters high, this thoughtfully designed cabinet contains a meticulously crafted set of storage boxes offering ample space for the owner’s belongings.
Additionally, the protected boxes cleverly house two AC split units, lined with moisture-resistant wood and shielded by sturdy metal plates. Considering the placement of the AC units at the top of the cabinet, accessibility posed a challenge. Therefore, we designed two drawers equipped with steps, allowing easy access to the upper section for maintenance purposes and effortless reach to the upper cabinets. Adding another layer of versatility, the long drawer discreetly conceals an impressive 3-meter-wide projector screen, providing the owner with an enchanting audio-visual experience.
