Large-format storage, planned for the workshop.
Paired construction-lumber shelving units were planned for a long basement wall, with the household's anti-tip concern treated as part of the brief rather than an afterthought.
About this project
The choices behind the work.
- Two substantial storage units
- Concrete-wall anchoring
- Practical capacity without a generic flat-pack solution
Service context: This storage project sits within Custom Carpentry: a defined build with a clear use, scale, and anchoring plan.
What needs to be stored, who needs to reach it, and what should stay visible guide the layout. Measurements, access, existing trim and everyday use shape the build.
