Outdoor Joinery — Balcony Cabinetry
For this penthouse balcony in Hackney, we designed and fabricated a series of bespoke outdoor cabinets that combine weatherproof storage with integrated seating. The units provide space for outdoor furniture, cushions, and accessories while forming a continuous bench element along the edge of the terrace.
The design draws inspiration from British seaside beach huts, expressed through bold colour and clean geometry. A bright, vibrant palette is paired with a crisp, minimal detailing strategy, resulting in a sharp and contemporary outdoor installation suited to the urban setting.
