Long Residence - 360 Condominium - Austin, Texas






Finally getting around to posting some photos for this project which began last fall. White Wind was commissioned by Homeplace Architecture to fabricate the cabinets, doors and a variety of trim pieces for this project.
The living area and entry hall cabinets are made of Lacewood or "Silky Oak" with a lacquer finish. All doors and drawers use a "touch-latch" mechanism for opening. In the middle uppers, behind bifold doors lies a 50" flat screen monitor.



In the baths and bedroom vertical grain Douglas Fir was used for cabinets and trim.
Black wenge was used for the transom screen and bedside tabletops.
Each fir drawer has a square wenge inlay to indicate the area to "touch" to open.




















All the main doors were sliding pocket doors built in the style of the large Shoji screens we fabricated for the bedroom.


In the main bedroom we built and installed a "Murphy" bed hidden away behind fir paneling.

On the face a of this bed is an inlayed flat screen monitor.























Thanks again to Steven Wigley for these photos and his help in the shop constructing a lot of this stuff!
