Residential Library - West Village Townhouse
Completed: November 2015
Location: New York, NY
Project Type: fine woodworking, residential installation, custom build, site survey
This stunning home library started out as a completely raw space with plaster walls and exposed pipes. We built all the pieces in-house using solid walnut and walnut veneer that we then spray finished with a clear lacquer for a polished look. We engineered very specific wall panels for each corner to hide the irregular structure of the room, as well as a hinged panel in the ceiling that was necessary to access the wiring. Sound-absorbing felt cut to mimic the CNC wall grooves was added to the ceilings to further enhance the ambience of the room. In collaboration with MADE, an all-women team surveyed the site, created the shop drawings, managed, built, and installed the work, which is not unusual for Stand and Build, but still worth noting.
