The 'craft room' is in
what was once a maid's room. In a roughly
10' by 7' room, the built-in cabinets
had to accommodate a laundry room, a
tv room, a homework room, and a home
office.

teak with a hinged top for laptop storage.
The floor is waxed cork.

Above the desk the wall
is cork- which provides a temporary family
art gallery- and the cabinets are mahogany
and plastic laminate. The cabinets are
push release with a curved edge pull.
The materials, curves, and angles are
meant to integrate well with the Danish
modern side tables and chairs.

On the opposite wall,
a new solid walnut door matches other
new doors installed throughout the apartment.
The curves of the frame were based on
chair legs from the dining room. Above
the couch is storage for movies and books,
and an adjustable light. A matching custom-designed
chandelier in the dining room can be
seen through the door.

In the Entry hall, an
existing closet was demolished to make
an entry niche, with a bench with storage
below, coat hooks, a coat closet, a 'locker'
and open cubbies. Bookshelves in the
entry were extended to run around the
top of the niche. New mahogany drawers
with an integral finger pull hold CD's.

6 year old was designed to be reconfigured
from a playroom to a study as he grew
up. The cabinets are mahogany, pear,
and olive wood with cork inset into the
corner, and behind the built-in bed.
The bed also has a trundle bed beneath
it.
