Office Metamorphosis

Cynthia — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 22:04:21 +0000

Charles and Lori were dissatisfied with their home office. The mismatched office furniture was overflowing with electronic, computer and photographic equipment. They obviously needed more storage, counter and desktop space. Woodleaf Studios provided the solution, as you can see in the photos below. Matthew designed an attractive office, a more cohesive and organized space.

The features include louvered doors that allow ventilation for electronic and printing equipment, a large platform that pulls out from under the desk space allowing easy access to wiring and individual cabinet pieces that can be rearranged or removed if the clients should relocate. Cherry solids and cherry plywood are finished in clear lacquer. The pulls are stainless steel. The resulting work space is contemporary, integrated and inviting.

Crotch mahogany veneers, mahogany solids and mappa burl accents come together to create this unique office look. The customer requested that we engineer a number of concealed compartments throughout the desk. Observe the bowed crotch panel, the bowed drawer front and the decorative 3-dimensional appliques.

This medium sized mahogany, Biedermeier inspired, entertainment center packs a lot of bell and whistle features that make it an engineering wonder. The custom hinge pediment clad bonnet cocks open to reveal a large concealed storage space while still allowing objects to be displayed on the top of the piece. The black engaged pilasters are affixed to side panels that slide forward to reveal additional concealed storage. The large crotch mahogany doors pocket open to show TV an AV storage.

New meets old within this fully wrapped mahogany library/drawing room. Woodleaf Studios took two rooms from this historic home and made them into one. The original wall separating the two rooms was replaced with a balanced group of columns and pilasters. The coffered ceiling provides elegant character and depth. There are concealed wall panels engineered to allow access to mechanical systems. This elaborate room also has integrated cabinets and bookshelves. The north end of the room is tailored around a large flat screen TV(see image 03).

There are also double acting pass-through doors on each end of this thirty two foot long facade. The facade is comprised of a blueprint matched sequence of pamele sapele veneer schedule. The middle four doors break into two sets of bifolding pocketing doors to create a fully continuos niche (see view 2). The doors on either end conceal built-in linen and silver storage (see view 3).
