Like I mentioned already before, in fireplace wall unit, while talking about video and entertainment related furnishing, custom furniture because of the fact that this technology is more and more fordable and more easily accessible… Entertainment furniture is on fire and this exclusive pace is no exception. Custom designed and build, lacquered walnut, audio / video equipment cabinet with CNC sculptured and painted MDF door panels inspired by sound wave illustrations. This 82″ long and 32″ high audio cabinet is fully perforated through every single gable, shelf and back panel for absolute air circulation to prevent audio & video equipment heat build-up and to maximize the audio & video equipment performance. Left portion is fully dedicated to equipotent where the whole right half of the cabinet can store up to 500 cds in pull-out, heavy duty drawers.

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

In this particular job I had to considering size, style and budget. I had to made a simple TV stand that can store CD, DVD and games, plus at the same time be suitable for contemporary Toronto condo, finished basement or cool teen bedroom.

In most design scenarios, only contrasting combination of colors, like in this case for example, red, black and white could fulfill the need for very modern style. Strong, straight and clean lines can make this TV stand looking elegant plus be functional at the same time and  store all audio-video equipment or game console.

Client received couple of options and after all I think overall design with this color combination came out very nice, functional and stylish. This TV stand is not only affordable but also attractive and pretty good solution for clutter-free living.

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.
