Client brief:
Storage to be built into an awkward sloping space with roof beams and a radiator in the ‘wrong ‘ place.
I decided to put a frame around the radiator so the transition from outside to inside the cupboard looked intentional. Then i came up with the idea to use the radiator to heat inside the cupboard via openings and slots within the unit, effectively making it a drying or airing cupboard, with slatted centre shelves.
before after
The radiator, which went all the way to the back of the unit , boxed in to visually connect it to the rest of the unit.
