A room with a view

My workshop co-habitee Rob (Gower Hardwood Flooring) was approached to install oak flooring throughout this beautiful duplex apartment over-looking Langland Bay. However as you can see from the "before" image below, it wasn't always so beautiful and there was a major obstruction to the panoramic view of the sea in the form of a solid cast concrete ballustrade. This annoyingly meant that to fully appreciate the stunning vista you had to be standing up rather than relaxing on a comfy sofa.

The client had come up with a solution for this asked if we might be able to turn his idea into a functional and attractive reality.

See images of what we came up with below.

We created a raised seating platform to allow uninterrupted sea views and incorporated a sideboard behind that divided up the sizeable room to provide a separate dining area with plenty of useful storage.

The piece was designed to compliment the stunning floor that Rob had laid and was finished off with a contemporary coffee table made from a left over "Versailles" flooring panel that we were pleased to gift to the client as a thank you for a nice commission.
