Muthaiga Private Study
Bespoke interior commission
01 / Curatorial narrative
Joinery, proportion and a room resolved.
A compact study where every wall works: the graphite wardrobe elevation conceals a full home office — an oak desk that pulls out of the joinery on precision runners, with a dovetailed drawer beneath it.
By the window, a second oak worktop catches the morning light for reading, with wardrobe storage carried overhead so the floor stays clear. When the desks slide away, the room reads as pure wardrobe wall.
Small rooms reward the most exacting set-out — every clearance here was mocked up in the workshop before a single panel was cut.

From measured room to final reveal
A controlled sequence keeps design intent, workshop production and installation aligned.
Measured before it is made
The 38 m² project zone is surveyed, coordinated and translated into approved elevations before fabrication begins.
Custom Cabinetry
The project scope — Custom Cabinetry, Wall Panelling, Hardwood Flooring — is prepared as one coordinated package before the installation sequence begins.
Calibrated in the room
Over 4 weeks, the work is installed, aligned and snagged under real site conditions before handover.
