Rickwood’s brief was direct: integrate storage, display, and a screen without disrupting the home’s maple-panelled envelope. The result is a floor-to-ceiling media wall in low-sheen charcoal, anchored by a pale maple worktop that bridges twin banks of cabinets. Open shelves frame the television for books, art, and greenery, while full-depth drawers and hinged base cupboards keep equipment and accessories neatly out of view. Interior maple carcasses echo the room’s wall panelling, turning every open door into a refined detail rather than an afterthought.
Facing the windows, a matching built-in workstation extends the palette. A continuous maple desk surface meets charcoal drawer towers and a floating shelf array, creating two dedicated work zones without visual clutter. Repeating materials and precise shadow lines give the entire room a cohesive, architecturally calm presence—professional enough for day-to-day focus, yet inviting when it’s time to unwind with a film.
