A house cannot be a home without space for all the “stuff”. For these clients, it meant shelves upon shelves to house various book collections, children’s toys, and the occasional zen sculpture. We transformed the required fall protection (guardrail) into a dual-sided, two-story storage solution. The custom shelving system suspends a series of wooden boxes spanning from the basement to the main living space — some fully open on one or both sides, some backed with a partially translucent resin panel, and some that have a wood slat door to hide the occasional x-box or collection of family memorabilia.
Fun Fact: this also proved a great solution to hide a required structural steel column for the new addition.
