Fireplace built-in

It looks like built-ins and wall units are literally exploding in Toronto ever since LCD and plasma tvs showed up on Canadian market. Well no doubt you want to compliment your latest toys with something nice that will not only suite your interior but fit it like a glow. This latest fireplace build in is no exception. Originally brought to us by interior decorator Marcia Boule, this built-in makes it an perfect example how smart design, little bit of painted MDF and lighting can trasform your boring, old fireplace wall in to a rich and breathtaking room full of character and sophistication. This built-in is ready for its new TV

Open shelf wall unit

Another low budget, modern wall unit with crown molding that was done bu us upon request from our existing Toronto client in a need for modern yet functional wall entertainment / wall unit from natural wood in combination with light brown laminated surfaces matching his existing interior color scheme.

Even if I’m used to do my sketching by hand, this time I choose to do the first sketch in 3D and in black and white, to save time and just to get a feel of scale and have the client to critique it.

After my first preliminary sketch went back and forward couple of times with client the design went to the process of detailing it in more details and texturing for better understanding of colors and finish. Having my sketch 3D modeled and detailed is also necessary for final layout drawings with dimensions for approval.

Most of my designs includes 3D photo realistic rendering as standard feature that is included with drawings for better client visualization and full confidence of what’s going to be manufactured for him.

Rosewood Wall Unit

Wall units are very popular furniture pieces, especially with today’s wide array of entertainment technologie. Though I am not the biggest fan of traditional furniture, I’d like to share this one with you. Upon a request from Toronto interior designer Marcia Boule to create a traditionally styled wall unit inspired by 17th century “Ethan Allen” and its early-American furniture style, I designed a piece using Indian Rosewood for its strong and unpredictable grain structure and excellent appearance after polishing. This wall unit has tall open shelving on both sides, that can also be closed with doors, and curved front drawer faces down the middle of the unit. The entire structural integrity of the unit lies in its legs and solid wood posts on each corner which was the typical constructional style for its time. I have to say, though I’m not a “traditional furniture dude”, I like this one.

Retail display system

As a millwork detailer, it is my job to solve storage obstacles and find easier solutions for very complex furnishing problems. One of the most common problems, especially with store fixtures & retail displays, is the inability to rearrange them often. Iglum solves just that. The Iglum system is nothing more than a cube that comes in a box and is ready for its easy assembly. The Iglum cube is not only easy to assemble, but it also comes in many different colors and sizes. With a little imagination and creativity it can suite almost any space and you can create with it an infinite combination of different displays or storage shapes.

Store Fixtures

Very affordable and quick, low budged store fixture design done for a Toronto retail store selling optical products. The project was sitting in my files for more than a year after the store and millwork was finished by JDMcNicoll Interiors, so I decided to render it and share it with you. Nine, diamond shaped, mirror store fixtures with operable doors and storage shaving under the counter, combined with glass shelving displays in between each mirror store fixture unit makes it an enormous storage and display place. Reception desk with high and low counter tops and tone of drawers for storage. Slat wall in the back and glass display island in the middle of the store makes it a place for a very large quantity stock of selling items. All store fixtures were CNC cut and plastic laminated and each store fixture had three pot lights installed.

Hockey Wall Unit

Hockey fan entertainment unit – I’ve got originally inspired by conceptual drownings of Eva Oravcova and her idea of having a wall unit for hockey fans during Olympic games. Entertainment unit was detailed for better constructional and functional purposes with operable drawers and storage place, while not sacrificing intricacy of this great design.
