How it was

An interior left undecorated.

Not a renovation. The apartment reached us finished: flooring, ceilings, frames and air conditioning in place. What was missing was everything else. The living room is long, with the glazed opening on one side and the kitchen at the end. The question was where to put the living area, where to put the dining area, and how to make a television wall that was not just a wall with a television.

What we showed, and what we delivered

The approved 3D and the photograph, from the same viewpoint.

The room was built in 3D with the television wall and the bookcase drawn to measure, and approved in images before anything was ordered. Then the joinery was made from the technical drawings, and photographed from the same spot. Drag to compare.

How it turned out

The television wall and the bookcase, drawn for this length of room.

The dining area sits by the kitchen and the living area faces the opening. The long bookcase makes the whole wall without closing it, and hides what need not be seen.
