The Opportunity

This client was renovating a well-dressed bungalow with loads of detailed character. They wanted a stylish functional wall-length entertainment unit made for their living room wall.  A wall unit incorporating a TV screen, shelving and storage at different junctions.

The Action

The space wasn’t one that suited square modern lines, so Joey took a Californian style arts and crafts approach to the design task.

Keeping the design simple and functional but adding ‘art n crafts’ mouldings to the top and bottom of the wall unit.

3D modelling was drawn up to present to the client showing precise dimensions.

Custom made sections were built and installed accurately and efficiently.

The Result

A simple but elegant design that stood out as the feature of the room.  A wall-length timber entertainment unit that is well suited to the period of the house itself.
