It looks like my completed studio thread got merged with this thread. Look for new content around post number 12. Or to get there right away, select the link below. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=80916entry1586201 This first post discusses the initial design and design criteria. As many of you are aware I am in the process of refurbishing my Studio (LEGO room). First I want to thank all of you who have been helping me with dimensions and sizes of competed sets and boxes. I am starting to get excited as the design is almost done, just a few dimensions to review and make certain about color choices for cabinets, work surfaces and display surfaces. As you know, this year is my year to "Get organized and build more". The refurb of my Studio is a big part of the get organized, the other part of the get organized is to sort, sort and when I think I am done, sort more until I have a good system for my parts inventory. I believe my new Studio will be complete by the end of April 2013, but as I mentioned, I am getting excited so I decided to post the as-is pictures (for the before) and the 3D renderings of the design so far (for the after). Here is my current space... The North and East walls http://www.flickr.co...8596313416/]Old Studio - North and East walls[/url] by http://www.flickr.co...MyPlasticBricks[/url], on Flickr And the South and East walls http://www.flickr.co...05/8596313554/]Studio - South and East wall[/url] by http://www.flickr.co...MyPlasticBricks[/url], on Flickr Kind of a hodgepodge of mixed up furniture and stuff. I wanted more space not on table tops (shelves for example) to display more of these... http://www.flickr.co...596355874/]Some modular buildings[/url] by http://www.flickr.co...MyPlasticBricks[/url], on Flickr To have a place to put a couple of these drawer systems in easy reach during building time. I've thought about it and I decided to use 2 of them. One for common parts that I will use all the time, and one for parts just for the current project. In theory is if I prepare more, it should help me to build more and not have to hunt parts so frequently. I am sure this will be an evolving system. http://www.flickr.co...213251/]Storage drawer system[/url] by http://www.flickr.co...MyPlasticBricks[/url], on Flickr I use these for storage, so I wanted to be able to store a bunch of them. http://www.flickr.co...314002/]Plastic storage bin[/url] by http://www.flickr.co...MyPlasticBricks[/url], on Flickr I also wanted to be able to store a bunch of these waiting to be built or parted out. http://www.flickr.co...213399/]Example modular building box[/url] by http://www.flickr.co...MyPlasticBricks[/url], on Flickr The new design of my Studio allows for additional storage of 16 of the plastic bins, and additional storage of 10 large sets. Overflow storage will still be in the existing closet in the room on the West wall. Last, but not least the design should allow for my Christmas Tree to fit in the North-East corner of the room where the credenza and desk meet. Here is a 3D rendering of the North wall storage, shelves for display space and the desk area on the East wall. http://www.flickr.co...05/8595213803/]Studio - North Walls[/url] by http://www.flickr.co...MyPlasticBricks[/url], on Flickr Here is a 3D rendering of the South wall storage, shelves for display space, place for my TV. You can also see the relationship between the desk area (on the East wall) and the South wall storage and shelves. http://www.flickr.co...05/8596314442/]Studio - South East walls[/url] by http://www.flickr.co...MyPlasticBricks[/url], on Flickr I think you can see why I am so excited about this project. The cabinet manufacture/builder/installers is Norm Tessier Cabinets Inc. at: http://www.normtessiercabinets.com/ I have seen their manufacturing facility (which is very modern, CNC and such) and they use the finest quality materials and construction techniques. The designer is Jennifer Beavers, she is a terrific designer and very patient with all my changes. But she says that now is the time for changes and to try to get as close to my exact needs as is possible to forecast. I also want to give a big thank you to Jennifer for all her hard work, the great design and helping me with my budget and putting up with me (no easy task by itself). I know this is early, but I was just bursting to share this with someone. I will post photos of the finished project when it it is done. Thanks for reading, Andy D
