Furniture for awkward spaces in Barcelona

Designed for the space, specified for use and fitted on site
A column or uneven wall affects a door swing more than a front-on photograph suggests. We measure at several points before making the piece.
Designed for your space
An uneven recess needs more than two measurements
A column, beam or crooked wall changes depth and height within one run. We survey several points and mark what must remain accessible before promising capacity.
Purpose first
Contents show where usable depth matters most.
Service access
Valves, hatches and radiators remain inspectable.
Junctions drawn
Edges are worked out before pieces are cut.
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
Not every part of a recess needs a door
An open shelf may be more useful than a triangular door. We decide which part brings real use and what is better left clear.
Between columns
The front may align while internal cabinet depths differ.
Below a window
Sill height and sash movement determine low drawer dimensions.
Around services
Fixed panels are distinguished from hatches that must open.
Curved wall
Units can be segmented or shaped without dead corners.

Examples of furniture for awkward spaces
Sixteen configurations showing different layouts, finishes and ways to integrate the furniture into a real room.
Front between columnsInternal depths vary while the doors maintain one clean line.
Slope with roof windowThe sash still opens and shelves use only reachable height.
Drawers beneath a low sillLight stays clear and shallow space is used by pull-outs.
Access hatch behind a frontValves and pipes need a recognisable opening, not a sealed panel.
Wall with a curveSegmented units avoid one large door with a difficult swing.
Shallow hallwayShoe cabinets and fronts are tested open before depth is set.
Acute cornerA short shelf may beat a tiny triangular drawer.
Furniture on a landingBalustrade and stair route limit where the bench may sit.
Cabinet above a doorwayHigh storage clears the opening and keeps its contents reachable.
Desk by a beamThe chair belongs outside the lowered section for headroom.
Services between two cabinetsAirflow and access are retained around the technical chimney.
Bench before a radiatorThe seat must not close off air or heater inspection.
Very low eavesDrawers bring forward contents lost behind a hinged front.
Living room at two levelsCabinetry follows the step without changing the route.
Pantry around a columnTrays come forward despite irregular depth.
Several shapes on one wallWalnut joins curves and display sections after each junction is surveyed.
Three ways to approach the specification
Choose the solution for the obstruction
An architectural irregularity does not automatically call for more cabinets.
Projection01
Column or beam
Neighbouring pieces absorb it without losing depth along the whole wall.
- Measurements at several points
- Varying unit depths
- Visible junctions agreed
Slope02
Changing height
Drawers and shelves go where they can be opened and reached.
- Minimum height checked
- Access from useful side
- Doors tested
Service03
Hatch or radiator
Joinery gives way where ventilation or maintenance is required.
- Technical opening marked
- Existing equipment assessed
- Removable fronts if suitable
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
Questions about awkward recesses
Could a pipe or meter be hidden?＋
Only with the access required and conditions of the installation preserved. We check the specific service.
Is a very small corner worth using?＋
Not always. We compare real capacity with the cost and usability of a door or drawer.
Which measurements are needed?＋
Width, height and depth at several points, plus photos of projections and access hatches. Production requires a site survey.
Start with the details you have
Point out the obstruction in your photos
Send views from both sides and several rough dimensions. Tell us what the furniture should hold or resolve.
- 01 We review the scope of your idea
- 02 We identify dimensions still needed
- 03 Materials and fitting are specified before you order
Awkward spaces: design from the constraints
A pillar, recess or sloping roof cannot be described by one dimension. We measure every plane that affects front, depth and opening.
Filling the whole volume is not always worthwhile. We ask what the space must store and keep service points accessible.
A piece may need dividing for delivery or so a module can be removed later. That junction is integrated into the drawing.
Photograph the recess from front and side with a scale reference. The technical survey establishes component sizes before the final quotation.
