WALL  BEDS

CONTEMPORARY "ZOOM-ROOM" WALL BED AND STORAGE UNIT OF AVODIRE AND WENGE

The Space: A small secondary space in a two room home office that was used for back-office administrative functions.

The Need: While not sacrificing the original utility of the space, the client wanted to turn it into an occasional guest room, showing off the “Zoom-Room” wall bed to its maximum advantage. The design solution had to provide ample storage space both for files, supplies as well as bedding for the new wall bed. The solution had to complement other recent improvements in the home and was to demonstrate the use of more exotic woods in custom cabinetry work.

The Solution: A compact and visually stunning wall of cabinetry in Avodire and Wenge which houses a queen size wall bed (activated by remote control), numerous file and storage drawers as well as a cabinet for bedding with a pullout nightstand for the occasional guest. An adjacent wall was outfitted with avodire veneer with a rift oak inlay, patterned to complement the book niches in the larger unit to its left. Lighting, electrical and color design services were provided as well.

DRAMATIC "ZOOM-ROOM" WALL BED AND STORAGE UNIT FOR SAN FRANCISCO CONDO

The Space: The den of a new luxury condo with 11’-0” ceilings in downtown San Francisco. The Need: Open to the living room, this tall, prominent space required a dramatic statement to house not only a wall bed for the occasional guest but the client’s artwork as well. The client wanted the cabinet to incorporate display space for three statues, a painting, bedside tables, file cabinets and to maximize storage.

The Solution: Two bowed cabinets of macassar ebony project from a main cabinet of ebonized quartered unfigured eucalyptus which houses the queen size wall bed. The bowed cabinets contain pull-out bedside tables, file cabinets, space for general storage and a printer on a pull-out shelf with one area devoted to organizers for client paperwork. The cabinet features niche lights over the statues, uplight/cove lighting on the top which reflects off the ceiling, and directed lighting over the painting. InHouse was responsible for the fabrication and design of the cabinetry and the electrical design. Choice of cabinet wood, stain and furnishings by others.
