Laundry Room

 

 Gee, it looks pretty good now....

 

 Once again, the object was pretty casual; make it look better!

 


     

Much of what you can't see are all the pipes from the ceiling going everywhere and many that will need easy access to after construction.

 

 

The folding table (pictured above right) was one of the first pieces of furniture the owners bought as a couple, they said throw it away, I said....

 

 
 I tried to keep the ceiling height as high as possible, but I had to sacrifice a casement window pane for the dryer vent, small price overall.

 

Entance to the bathroom




                                                       

           Wide plank flooring (with a removable square to access trap) customized t.p. holder, winner of the coveted TPH award for excellence in design.

 

 


 

 Nothing fancy, just utilitarian. The floor is cement with an epoxy resin coating with little flakes of black and white chips in it.

  

The key hanging on the trim actually works the basement door lock.
 There were many challenges in this project, but the big lesson was in taking the initiative to construct keeping the finished perspective always in mind during building. This was a really fun project for all of the different planes that intersected at every possible angle, literally.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Notice all the pipes, I'll need to find some common heights in order to box them in.

 

 

The ceiling height was pretty decent, I had to be really carefull not to create any areas that were head-banging height.

 


On the left of the picture you have the laundry room entrance, which I was going to keep, but this area needed better functionability.


 

From inside the bathroom, connecting the planes from tight against pipes to adjoining surfaces.


 


This pipe just wouldn't have made sense to box in. One of many access panels in the ceiling. 


 

 

 

 

 Angles, angles and yet, more angles...
