A custom entertainment center designed around our basement, two salvaged rolling drawers, and a garage full of reclaimed black furniture panels waiting for a second life.
This had been a long-running project idea of my dad's, but he didn't have much CAD experience and asked me to help turn it into a buildable design. Together, we measured the basement and worked out what the entertainment center needed to fit.
I then modeled the full system in CAD, including space for the TV and two rolling drawers we salvaged from a discarded cabinet.
One of the main constraints was also the point of the project: the entire structure had to be buildable from black painted or coated wood panels recovered from furniture my dad had collected in our garage.
I designed around the dimensions of those available pieces so we could reuse as much material as possible instead of buying new sheet goods. After finalizing the CAD, we spent months cutting, fitting, and assembling the design together.
