We actually installed this media center the week before last. We got back to the workshop and immediately started on the next project and I am only now finding time to post this.
This media center is for the same clients as the previous large built in. Actually, it is in the same room. A beautiful living room with an amazing view of the St. Johns River.
Much of the details are the same as the previous built in. Rift sawn white oak veneer, sprayed with “Amazing Gray” and a glaze applied. Push hinges on the doors to minimize the hardware. A simple push on the door and the swing open. Veneer grain orientated to match and flow throughout the project.
Textured panels in the back of the open areas, the pattern reflecting rippling water, which is fitting given the view from the room.
Two of the drawer cabinets actually only have one large drawer, the second drawer front allows the pattern not to be disrupted. The large drawers will house an LP collection. You do remember those, don’t you?
To give you a sense of the scale of this project, the taller cabinet in the center houses a 75″ TV which is on a lift. I’ll post a video of the lift in action separately and you can see the TV open the lid of the cabinet as it goes up and the lid settling back into place as the TV goes down. It’s pretty cool to watch, probably better than much of what is on the TV 🙂
Once again, I’m so fortunate to have the clients that I do. Lots of discussion on both of these projects and it was such an enjoyable journey going from the initial idea of the design to the completed project.
