Designed for the space, specified for use and fitted on site
Heavy books, a turntable and a light box cannot be treated as one load. Supports and heights follow the collection intended for each shelf.
Designed for your space
Size each shelf for what will sit on it
Books, records, toys and display objects differ in weight and size. We review contents, clear span and fixing points before setting the shelving pattern.
Useful heights
Large books and small objects need different spacing.
High access
We decide how upper levels will be reached.
Wall checked
Fixings suit the actual support.
Our process
How we work, step by step
These steps connect the first estimate to the final fitting. Measurements and specification come before the binding price.
Initial estimate
Share the address, room photos, approximate measurements and the furniture you have in mind. We outline a price range to be checked against the measured space.
Measured survey
At the property we record the relevant dimensions, services and wall conditions. We also check how the pieces can enter the building.
Design, when required
If drawings or a design are needed, we develop them after the survey. The design work is included at no extra charge when you order us to manufacture to that project.
Detailed quotation
With the layout and specification agreed, we set out materials, fittings, delivery, installation and the final amount in writing.
Approval and deposit
You confirm the proposal and pay the deposit stated in the quotation. This authorises the production order.
Workshop production
We cut, finish and prepare the components according to the approved drawings and dimensions.
Fitting on site
The team delivers and assembles the furniture, then adjusts fronts, hinges and visible joints.
Review with you
Before closing the job, we go through doors, drawers and finishes together and record anything that needs a final adjustment.
Your project starts here
Give every centimetre a purpose.
I'm Joaquín Pardo. Show me the awkward corner, column or wall that is limiting your room. We can start with what you need to store and explore ways to use the space without crowding it.
No obligation. Rough measurements are enough to get started.
Solutions for your space
Open spaces where they are useful
Not everything belongs on display. Lower closed units may hold cables, paperwork or toys while open shelves take books.
Books in different formats
The largest volumes set height and depth first.
Room-dividing shelf
Both faces are finished and its stability is assessed in the room.
Audio equipment
Turntables and components need measured openings, cables and appliance-appropriate ventilation.
Children’s corner
Daily shelves stay reachable and the whole piece receives suitable anchoring.

Around a doorwayOpening width remains while high units have planned access.
Tall libraryThe ladder needs travel room and shelves follow the book load.
Below a large windowDrawers clear the sash and preserve daylight.
Green beside a fireplaceHeat, depth and each shelf position are checked.
Curved room dividerBoth sides are finished and the piece is fixed for its load.
Beneath stepsChanging height is shared between books and useful drawers.
Steel with oakTurntable and records need measured depth and cable routes.
Blue shelves for childrenDaily books stay low and edges suit walking areas.

Three ways to approach the specification
Organise by size, weight and reach
The library’s appearance follows its most demanding objects.
Books01
Shelves for load
Span and support are sized for the intended collection.
- Formats measured
- Fixing reviewed
- Upper access planned
Mixed02
Show some, store some
Visible shelves sit above closed fronts for less display-worthy items.
- Varied openings
- Cables concealed
- Doors can swing
Both sides03
Divide a room
The piece is used from two sides and needs planned stability.
- Both faces finished
- Passage clear
- Anchoring specified
A detailed quotation
The information behind a useful quotation
You can start with rough dimensions. We will tell you what needs to be checked before a final specification is prepared.
The space
Photographs and approximate dimensions show the available area and nearby doors or services.
Your priorities
Explain what you need the furniture to do and what is missing now.
Your references
Send a few examples and point out the details you like.
Timing and access
Tell us the address, intended date and any work taking place before fitting.
From early guidance to a final figure
From enquiry to a confirmed proposal
01First review
We assess the information, clarify the scope and identify missing details. This enquiry does not generate an automatic price.
02Detailed quotation
The proposal sets out the agreed design, specification, price and fitting conditions after the necessary checks.
Send what you already have. We can identify the next useful photograph, measurement or decision.

Materials and details
Choose the specification as a whole
A surface, its supporting board, edges and hardware need to work together.
Product-specific performance and care instructions are checked against the selected specification.
Before deciding
Bespoke shelving questions
How much weight can a shelf carry?＋
It depends on span, material, support and fixing. We design for expected contents rather than offer one universal figure.
Could it reach the ceiling?＋
Yes, when upper access makes sense and ceiling, floor and fitting are checked.
Can shelving sit before a radiator?＋
The installed heater’s airflow and access requirements must remain.
Start with the details you have
Show us the wall and what you want to store
Mention large books, heavy devices and sections to close. Rough dimensions are enough to discuss options.
- 01 We review the scope of your idea
- 02 We identify dimensions still needed
- 03 Materials and fitting are specified before you order
Bespoke shelving: loads and shelf spacing
Books, ceramics and files differ in weight and size. We set heights and spans around the contents rather than repeating a decorative grid.
A long shelf may sag if its core and thickness do not suit the load. Fixings and wall construction are checked before finalising the drawing.
Adjustable shelves allow changes; closed units protect objects you do not want to dust every day. Both can belong in one composition.
Send wall dimensions, photographs and an idea of the contents and weight. We confirm support and fixing during the survey.
