Here is another home work station that I designed and built for some nice people in Coral Gables, Florida. In this case it is painted a low sheen, brilliant white. The customer specified to include louvers to match those in the room already. This image shows the wall unit behind the clients desk, with added display ...

This is a little project which I was very happy to resolve for the customer. I was referred to this couple by an old customer who owned a sailboat. Boat interiors always need clever ways to use very limited space inside. Before these glass shelves and accent lights existed, the customer had two dead space ...

With this bathroom remodeling project, the interior designer, Paradigm Interiors, wanted the cabinet suspended off the floor and the drain pipe exposed. There are only 2 cabinets with a shelf and drawer connecting them. Yes, there is a 3rd drawer in the middle that is fitted around the pipe. I installed a strong board from wall to ...

The customer who called my workshop for this project is retired and loves to read. I know this because 6 years before I had built 18ft long, floor to ceiling bookcases for him. He buys a lot of books. The only problem with that is there's only so much wall space in his condominium for ...

The wall unit sets back into the alcove and projects into the room only slightly. Its white painted wood design is elegant and yet is all about functionality. Around the flat screen TV are the items the owner likes to see always and the television is secondary to them. Same goes for the unattractive electronic ...

This kitchen is part of a major house remodelling and renovation managed by Brahma Construction Co. of Miami Beach. The challange for this space was its long and narrow shape and because it had only two small windows. To add light we built the floor-to-ceiling cabinet with fluted glass doors lights one side of the ...

This piece, a set of storage cabinets and drink mixing place to the side of the dinner table, has a way of hiding in it's own shadow. I was careful to fit each door on site, before painting, so that the seams were as tight as possible. Back at the studio, oil enamel was then ...

This design satisfies the need to have a work station from which one's personal and professional life can be put in order and enjoyed. Creative minds may be cluttered but everything else will be put in its place.The glow of several discrete lights reflect off the wood grain and are adjusted by one dimmer switch. ...

Custom built-in units are becoming more in demand to accomodate the family's home theater systems. I enjoy designing to the particular tastes in style and choices of electronic components of each client. I try to make the mouldings and trim unique instead of what everybody else has in their home. Pilasters here have a simple ...

This is one of the areas of a large, new office installation designed by a Gables interior design company. Like all built-in furniture, the components, in this case mahogany veneer plywood, were prepared and packed to be moved to the office building and assembled after-hours. The long wall has the large book case and the ...

A built-in wall unit such as this one can also be commissioned without the extra expense of a finish. The customer chose to paint this large wall unit themselves and saved thousands of dollars. It's built with paint-grade maple plywood. The design was a collaborative effort and accommodates a flat screen TV, components directly underneath, ...

Bar

The part that I played in the creation of this bar involved the making of the cabinetry, shelving and soffit, which included the installation of spot lighting and ventilation fans that fit under the onyx countertop. Rope lights were placed underneath the counter to illuminate the stone, intensifying it's grain and various hues. The design ...

These are very simple floor to ceiling shelves that I designed to be strong but also "light" within a 18' by 12' windowless, conference room, year 1992.  

My idea was to use woods that have an appropriate look for the room's country decor, namely, wormy chestnut, and a pale yellow and figured wood veneer called anigre. There are four anigre doors above the electronic equipment that conceal storage space, each with a black cast iron pull. Built into two of these doors ...

Many of my contracts today consist of creating solutions for the home office computer station. Here I have taken an existing cabinet, located behind the desk, and replaced the old doors with file drawers, a printer tray, keyboard tray, and a compartment for the CPU. The new fronts are made to match the walnut cabinetry. ...
