Built-In Bookcases: A Project in Action

How It Used To Be... Before the Built-In Bookcases

Our neighbors, Miriam and Joel weren't satisfied with their living room. They owned a beautiful wood bookcase, large and elegant, but it wasn't exactly right. They were searching for a way to make the bookshelves feel more like an integral part of their living room. Ideally, they wanted a perfect combination of shelf space and display space together with a focal point for their much-loved piano.

After careful research they decided that the best solution was to build a custom-made wall unit designed especially to incorporate exactly what they wanted.

Building a unit of this size required serious planning. They held many discussions with interior designers, contractors, carpenters, and others to determine the scope and cost of the project. The plans went through quite a few revisions until they were just right.
