Alcove Units. Weybridge KT13
"This part of the project was probably one of the most challenging builds of my career. Whilst the house was being built I marked out the datum points for the cornice and down lighters in the room with regard to the positions of the alcove units. I also laid trunking in the wall and lay all of the cables necessary for both sides of the room as the left hand unit contains the Blu-Ray Player, required 240v power etc. The first challenge was to work out the position of the hydraulic jack system for the L.C.D T.V panel and once that was finalized the lower carcases could then start to be fabricated from paint grade MDF. The jack required me to fabricate an access flap on a sprung stay and once that opened the T.V effortlessly rises and then turns toward the desired seating position within the room. The upper carcases were fabricated from Maple veneered MDF and featured 10mm thick glass shelves with the front aspect finished with fluted columns and ‘pyramid block’ detailing. Once again the finished project was finished/sprayed etc by Michenuals of London."
