Shelving with stories to tell.
Library walls, alcove units and media walls where books, art and technology live together, with every cable out of sight.
Overview
A wall of shelves changes the whole character of a room.
Built-in shelving adds warmth, storage and architecture in one move. We balance proportions carefully so the wall looks considered whether it holds a full library or a few treasured pieces.
For media walls we plan ventilation, cable routes and speaker positions from the start, so the screen sits flush and nothing dangles.

Shelving questions
Will the shelves bow under heavy books?
No. We size shelf depth, thickness and span for books, and reinforce longer runs with hidden supports.
Can you hide all the TV cables?
Yes. We build in conduit and sockets so cables run inside the unit, with access panels for future upgrades.
Can you add a library ladder?
We fit brass or blackened steel ladder rails with a timber ladder made to match your shelving.
