Shelves - Thanks for replying about the depth & height. My question is: what is the size of each recessed opening. Example: the small square, the taller opening above the small square? »
We are building a new house - I love this! I want this in my new house. What is the height & width of the shelf's? I would be so grateful if you will share that info. »
The ceiling here is 9' high and the width of the hallway is 5'9" wide. The niches are 6" deep (but they can be whatever depth your wall studs are)
This was actually laid out on site with a lot of handwaving. Assymetry was key here, but some order was maintained with 3 equal width divisions at the top. A good way for you to tackle it is to cut out large squares of paper/cardboard and tape them up to see the effect. Make sure there is room for any particular pieces of art you would like to display.
Check with your electrician for which lights can be installed and how deep a recess you would need (codes vary).
Frame - I know you have mentioned that this structure is made of sheetrock wrapped in lumber. But there seems to be some kind of white frame around each niche. Is the frame in plywood, MDF. Also how does the frame work with the sheetrock? Thanks a lot »
Pricing of this cabinet - I am trying to get a bid from a couple of contractors to get something similar built for my foyer. Can I get an idea of how much something like this would cost? My electrician has already run a line for electric on this. Also, can something similar be done in sheetrock alone to bring costs down? »
This was done in 2x6 framing lumber and sheetrock (the sheetrock has to attach to something....)
They were sheet-rocked with radius edge corners.
SInce it is built on site - its up to whoever is doing the work to price it for you - labor costs vary greatly.

Tali Hardonag Architect These niches were built on site, about 6" deep.They were sheet-rocked with radius edge corners.

Feature Wall - \we are building a house and would like to include this idea. We are having trouble with the dimensions/proportions. Would you be willing to share yours?
Thank you very much. »

We are building a home and will have something similar to this on one end of a wall in the great room with a corner fireplace on the other end. There will be about 12 feet of wall space between the two features. The wall will have a raised hearth running the entire length with rock underneath and a stone top. We do not want rock on the fireplace. Would you do the fireplace in sheetrock, stucco, or something else? Should the fireplace and this niche space be out of the same material? »
Tali Hardonag Architect That is a nice depth for something slim - even hanging a picture inside a niche can create something very interesting. Proportions of width and height make an impact -
here is an example of square shallow niches only on one side of the fireplace (about 10cm deep):
The Lighting Group I believe they are safe for low voltage and for built-ins. You will have to check with your local inspector. Some jurisdictions have you install the secondary wiring in conduit too.
Hi, which materials are the internal doors made off? Is it mdf or solid wood? And if it's mdf, do you just spraypaint the doors to get the black colour? Thanks! »

Shelving would be opposite front door - separating entry from living area. Some of the cutouts would be open - allowing a view into living area.
Kitchen access through doorway to left, right side would be open to entry way.

Love the combination of shapes as foundation for art pieces. Could this be created with mounted "frames"? Wonder how lighting could be incorporated though!
this was designed on site, so there are no drawings with measurements.
