Case Study · Atlanta, GA · Specified
The Delaney nursery, built wall to wall.
A ten-by-twelve room with one usable wall. Instead of buying four pieces of furniture that would not fit it, we drew one piece that does: closet, changing table, books and toys in a single run of millwork, with the mural kept visible between the openings.

Concept
The mural is the wall, so the cabinets had to step back.
Every opening in the millwork is sized to a piece of the mural, so the room keeps its animals.
The elevation was drawn against the mural panel layout, not against a standard cabinet grid. The giraffe, the elephant and the lion each land in an open bay rather than behind a door.
Cabinet fronts are painted the mural's own background tone, which is why a wall of storage does not read as a wall of storage.
