Project Turntable
Project Turntable is composed in three verses; a built-in entertainment unit, a guest kitchenette, and a set of custom floating shelves. Recognizing our client’s deep appreciation for music, we meticulously designed the built-in unit to showcase their vinyl collection and ensure each audio-component nestled properly into place. The kitchenette design considers the guests’ experience — a convenient, familiar & cozy space for both short & long-term stays.
-
Construct a built-in entertainment unit to house the clients’ turntable, associated audio equipment, TV, and personal artifacts. Transform the first floor into a self-contained guest suite by reimagining a standard bedroom into a kitchenette. Add custom shelves to the first floor TV room. Source a dining table and chairs that fits the space & matches the tones of the overall project (Designer: Dórica via Obra Imports).
-
Playing records from top to bottom, hosting extended guest visits, storing & displaying cherished pieces from travels abroad.

Oak, painted oak - Benjamin Moore Celtic Blue & Spellbound. Rubio Monocoat 2C - Pure. This color palette was inspired by the blue waters (Barton Springs, Deep Eddy, Town Lake, etc) & big skies of a Texas summer spent in Austin.
-
A flexible home that can function as two separate flats when necessary. The first floor provides privacy and utility for guests in their personal kitchenette; the second floor is enriched with a custom statement piece that provides space for sentimental objects and audio equipment.
