A Case Study on: The Oval Project

Introduction

Effective space utilisation is essential for modern living, particularly in urban homes where storage solutions can significantly improve functionality and organisation. The property owner in Oval sought a custom-built under-stair storage unit to accommodate household appliances while maintaining a seamless interior aesthetic. Recognising the need for both practicality and design appeal, our team devised a strategic plan to optimise the available space.

Challenges

  • Limited Space: The under-stair area had irregular dimensions, making standard storage solutions impractical.
  • Structural Considerations: The installation had to support the weight of appliances while maintaining accessibility.
  • Aesthetic Integration: The new storage features needed to blend seamlessly with the existing decor.
  • Boiler Housing: A secure yet visually appealing cabinet was required to protect the boiler without obstructing maintenance access.

Solutions

  • Custom Design: A tailored under-stair closet was designed to accommodate the washing machine and dryer while providing additional storage.
  • Reinforced Construction: A sturdy wooden framework with added reinforcements was used to ensure long-term durability.
  • Seamless Aesthetic: High-quality paint was applied to match the surrounding decor, ensuring a cohesive look.
  • Boiler Protection Cabinet: A purpose-built enclosure was installed to shield the boiler, integrating safety with style.

Implementation

The project was executed in several phases:

  1. Structural Planning & Design – Initial measurements and sketches were developed to optimise the space.
  2. Construction & Assembly – A reinforced wooden framework was installed, followed by precise fitting of the storage compartments.
  3. Finishing Touches – Doors were installed, and a high-quality paint finish was applied to achieve a modern, polished look.
  4. Boiler Cabinet Installation – The boiler enclosure was constructed and integrated into the space while ensuring proper ventilation.
  5. Final Cleaning & Inspection – A professional cleaning was conducted to ensure a flawless handover to the client.

Outcomes

The completed project transformed an underutilised space into a highly functional storage area, seamlessly blending with the interior design. The built-in storage unit now provides efficient organisation, while the boiler protection cabinet enhances both safety and aesthetic appeal.

A recent study suggests that well-optimised storage solutions can increase property value by up to 20%, making this transformation a valuable investment for the homeowner.

Conclusion

This project successfully combined innovative design with expert craftsmanship to deliver a practical yet visually appealing solution. By maximising the available space under the staircase, the property owner gained a durable, well-integrated storage system that enhances daily living. The meticulous attention to detail and high-quality materials ensure ease of maintenance and long-term functionality.
