The stone treads of the stairway to the lower level pass by this column of glass shelves framed in mahogany with ebony splines. The shelves rest on steel rods extending from the mahogany wall paneling.
These shelves present the client's collection of intimate scaled antiquities.
In the same client's library was an unfinished cherry shelf system. No one had figured out how to deal with the main electrical panel. We built this back panel with a door over the electric box. No shelving aloud in front of this area.
Opposite the existing shelving, we built another six foot section of shelving to match. This photo was taken before the client loaded the shelves.
Another client had a 'butler's closet' that consisted of four shelves. There was no way to organize her various wares. Voilà, files for wares of many sizes.
Likewise, a special need. With doors, and to match in appearance other woodwork in the client's house.
Studio shelving, particular to the artist.
More art studio shelving.
Creating more storage in a cramped shared closet. This cabinet made to fit tight to the rafters. The back comes off to provide access into the attic.
For a small painting studio, storage of flat things increases floor and working space. These two cabinets stack and move about on smooth rolling casters.
Some of the shelves are moveable to accommodate variably sized canvases.
Clients needed shelves to flank the fireplace in the style of this 1898 house in NW Portland. On the left the shelves reached wall to wall. On the right, they are supported on corbels. The clients have the original plans for the house and in the detail drawings by the architect I found a small detail of a corbel for a cabinet that no longer exists. I made these from Douglas fir based on that drawing.

Sometimes, a client has special need of a special sort of shelving.
