Architecture and design studios require specialized storage that accommodates oversized materials, protects valuable resources, and supports creative workflows. Our custom solutions address the unique storage challenges while enhancing the professional environment that inspires great design work.
Blueprint and Drawing Storage Systems
Architectural drawings, plans, and design sketches need flat, protected storage that prevents damage while allowing easy access during project development and client presentations. We build custom flat file cabinets with oversized drawers, adjustable dividers, and smooth-operating hardware that accommodates everything from small sketches to large architectural plans.
Our drawing storage includes vertical filing systems for frequently accessed drawings, horizontal flat storage for finished plans, and combination units that organize projects by client or phase. Each system protects valuable drawings from damage while ensuring architects can locate and retrieve specific plans quickly during busy project schedules.
Material Sample and Finish Libraries
Design studios need organized display and storage for fabric samples, material swatches, finish samples, and product catalogs that clients review during design consultations. We create custom sample libraries with adjustable shelving, pull-out displays, and organized compartments that showcase materials attractively while protecting them from damage.
Our material storage solutions include climate-controlled areas for sensitive samples, easy-access displays for frequently used materials, and secure storage for expensive or limited samples. These systems help designers present options professionally while maintaining organized inventories of available materials and finishes.
Reference Book and Resource Storage
