Detailing & Construction

Expressed thickness – the 54 mm bookcase sections and 32 mm cabinetry planks are left visually honest, giving the joinery a substantial, furniture-like presence.

Rustic character – knots, checks and natural variation are deliberately retained, balancing the industrial brickwork and the more refined furnishings.

Shadow reveals – subtle shadow lines separate oak from brick and floor, preventing moisture transfer and giving the joinery a light, “built-in but not glued-on” feel.

Integrated wine storage – lower bays of the bookcase are configured for bottle racking, with open shelves above for books and objects.

Performance & Outcome

The solid oak planks provide:

• Durability – 54 mm and 32 mm sections deliver stiffness and long-term stability across the full wall span.
• Tactility – clear hard wax oil keeps the natural feel of timber while offering protection against everyday use.
• Atmosphere – the warm tone and rustic grade of the oak soften the brick and steel, creating an inviting cellar-style room.

The client now uses the space as a favourite entertaining zone, with the oak joinery acting as both storage and a feature backdrop for shared meals and wine tastings.
