Built-Ins

The Home Office was custom designed to fit into a specific corner of the Great Room. The clients wanted to have everything inside the cabinets, including all electronics except the laptop computer. The overhead lighting was designed to follow the curve of the desk and the book cases. The color of the wood is repeated in other areas of the condo. There is also under cabinet lighting to light the work area at night.

The niche above the fireplace displays, instead of a TV, a beautiful painting and some glass art pieces. The mouldings around the fireplace are simple but classy.

This little Den includes a custom made day bed. The mattress can be lifted up and bedding put in underneath. The book case is used to accommodate book as well as other display pieces. Underneath, behind the doors, are pull-out shelves for CD's.

The lighting is the most striking attribute of this hallway. The built-in bookshelves were designed and custom built in two of the bays, to break up the long and uninteresting space. Each bookshelf is illuminated to glow and show interesting items and books on display. The u-shaped table is of solid cherry and was custom made. The glass table lamp appears to float and complements various glass pieces in the rest of the condo. The "Cinnabar" red ceilings and "Sweet Potato" colored walls are repeated in other areas also.

This book case/ TV cabinet was designed to blend in with the existing panelling. It has pocket doors and a pull-out for the TV, shelving for stereo components, as well as two banks of drawers for CD's and other small items.

The clients wanted a TV table with swivel top, which has been custom designed by Helga Design Corp. This piece also shows the Asian influence.
