This Federalist style wall
unit was built for a client who moved into a
condo where space is at a premium. It was
important that the unit be both functional and
attractive. To give the piece an original,
“built-in” look, we incorporated design features
and from a nearby fireplace mantel. The wood
used was a combination of birch veneer plywood
and poplar. The client chose the color scheme to
match the decor. Because of the enormous size of
the unit, it was designed and built in sections,
then assembled on site. A matching baseboard
molding completes the transition to the
room.
The base features sliding doors
instead of hinged doors to prevent intrusion
into the room, and two adjustable shelves on
each side. The doors can be removed to store
large objects. The top portion of the unit was
designed around a family portrait and features a
hidden curio light. Fully adjustable shelves
accommodate any size book or keepsake.
