WELLIES AND W**E // Not two things you often find in the same design brief 🤣
While Shaun and Eve are busy making a rather substantial dressing room in the workshop, I’m working at the other end of the scale, figuring out how to fit a seat for putting on wellies, a w**e rack and a bit of personality beneath a staircase.
It’s a small space in a narrow hallway, where even the garden door is partially tucked beneath the stairs. Natural light is limited and there’s a rather substantial post to navigate.
For once, maximising storage wasn’t the objective. Making sure we didn’t block what little natural light there is absolutely was.
So we’ve designed a combination of open and closed storage, with a drawer bench seat, a 24 bottle w**e rack and cabinetry that follows the awkward slope of the stairs. Reeded oak panelling and a little floating shelf give the space its own identity.
A sort of ultra-mini boot room, with bottles instead of coats!!
All signed off by client and heading to the workshop soon.
