Design and preparation of detailed drawings of built in furniture and components based on the room

• The built-in furniture when once constructed and installed cannot be moved. Eg wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, bar cabinets, among others
• The way they fit into the construction makes the decor look seamless and minimal
• Pros: This furniture type is apt for those planning to achieve minimalist look. It allows you to cut down on your expense on furniture over the years as
this will stay for long
• Cons: This type would not fit well for those who love to experiment with their decor. Also, built-in furniture could be expensive at the time of
construction as it has to be customized to your needs.
• They blend in into the décor rather than standing out and this makes them suitable for minimalist contemporary interiors.
• a large built-in piece of furniture can look more slender and smaller than a free-standing one with the same dimensions.
• built-ins provide lots of storage. They can occupy an entire wall without making the room feel considerably smaller.
• They help create a cohesive look throughout and can be combined and coordinated with the rest of the décor.
• they can be tailored to fit your specific needs
• lighting can also be easily integrated into the built-in furniture

Design and preparation of detailed drawings of a Kitchen

• Kitchen Counter top is a horizontal work surface in kitchens or other food preparation areas
• It is frequently installed upon and supported by cabinets.
• The surface is positioned at an ergonomic height for the user and the particular task for which it is designed.
• A countertop may be constructed of various materials with different attributes of functionality, durability, and aesthetics.
• Natural stone is one of the most commonly used materials in countertops. Natural stone (e.g. granite) are shaped using cutting and finishing
equipment in the shop of the fabricator.
• Wooden countertops can come in a variety of designs ranging from butcher block to joined planks to single wide stave.
• Wood is considered to be the most ecofriendly option when it comes to choosing a kitchen countertop as wood is a renewable resource.
• Tile, including ceramic tile and stone tile, is installed in much the same way as flat lay laminate except that the gaps between the tiles are grouted after
the tile has been glued down.
• Concrete may be utilized as a surfacing material in one of several forms: cast-in-place (in which the fabricator creates forms atop the previously
installed cabinetry, places, and then finishes the material in situ), custom precast ( in which the fabricator creates site templates, duplicates the
pattern in a production facility offsite, and installs the finished product atop the cabinetry), and the machining of pre-manufactured gauged slabs
(similar to natural stone fabrication)

• Kitchen cabinets They are the built-in furniture installed in many kitchens for storage of food, cooking equipment, and often silverware and dishes for
table service.
• Appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers, and ovens are often integrated into kitchen cabinetry

• Cabinet construction
• Cabinets may be either face-frame or frameless in construction
• Face-frame cabinets. Traditional cabinets are constructed using face frames which typically consist of narrow strips of hardwood framing the cabinet
box opening. Cabinets were traditionally constructed with a separate face frame until the introduction of modern engineered wood such as particle
board and medium-density fiberboard along with glues, hinges and fasteners required to join them.
• Custom face-frame cabinets offer more efficient use of space because double width stiles can be avoided.
• They also provide far greater flexibility with regard to materials and design, since kitchen cabinet heights, widths and depths can be designed and
produced according to the client's specifications.
• Every aspect of custom cabinetry can be made to specifications, which makes it both the most desirable and the most expensive choice
• Frameless cabinets, also known as "European style", lack a center stile, and typically have concealed hinges mounted to each inside wall.
• Frameless cabinets utilize the carcase side, top, and bottom panels to serve same functions as do face-frames in traditional cabinets. In general,
frameless cabinets provide better utilization of space than face-frame cabinets.
• Cabinet doors may feature a variety of materials such as wood, metal or glass.
• Wood may be solid wood or engineered wood or may be mixed
• Panels. Panels used in frame-and-panel kitchen cabinet doors may be fashioned either of solid wood or covered by paint, veneer, or
• The panels are typically not fastened with glue or nails but rather "float" within the frame to accommodate seasonal expansion or contraction of the
wood frame.
• Solid-door construction. Doors may be fabricated of solid material, either engineered solid wood.
• Engineered wood panels may either be used as slabs or may be shaped to resemble frame-and-panel construction.
• Solid wood panels are typically formed of multiple boards of the selected wood species, jointed together using glue and may either be painted or
finished. Solid wood construction offers the possibility of refinishing in case of damage or wear.
• Decorative panels. Cabinet doors panels can be used decoratively on cabinet sides, where exposed, for a more finished appearance.

• Cabinet construction
• Glass door construction options. Doors may have glass windows constructed of muntins and mullions holding glass panels
• Other designs either mimic the divided-light look of muntins and mullions with overlays, or may dispense with them altogether.
• Cabinets using glass doors sometimes use glass shelves and interior lighting from the top of a cabinet.
• Drawers and trays A functional design objective for cabinet interiors involves maximization of useful space and utility in the context of the kitchen
workflow
• In face-frame construction, a drawer or tray must clear the face-frame stile and is 2 inches (51 mm) narrower than the available cabinet interior space.
• In frameless construction, drawer boxes may be sized nearly to the interior opening of the cabinet providing better use of the available space

• Wall oven cabinets Stock wall-oven cabinets may be adapted to built-in ovens, coffee-makers, or other appliances by removing portions of the cabinet
and adding trim panels to achieve a flush installation.
• Frameless cabinets provide for wall oven front panel widths equal to the cabinet
• frameless installations for wall oven make most efficient use of the available wall space in a kitchen. This effect is difficult to achieve in typical face-
frame cabinet installations, as it requires modification to the face-frame.
