Architectural TV Cabinets

June 29, 2011 by Jane T 4 Comments

tv cabinets - Kate Hume design for an architectural cabinet to conceal a tv - via AtticmagOptions for architectural TV cabinets include modern custom doors  and pop-up lifts.

As TV cabinets go, a custom built wall unit by Frans van der Heyden becomes part of a picture wall in this townhouse in Amsterdam designed by his wife, the designer Kate Hume. Centered among modern framed black-and-white photos, it hangs above a coordinating low cabinet that spans the width of the room. Disguising a TV is a must for some while others are letting flat screens become part of a room’s décor. But for this designer, the TV is small and secondary.

On a wall like this, with all the framed black and white pictures, a flat screen on its own might look good. But the cabinet is a beauty.

low tv cabinet designed by Stanic Harding architects - via atticmagIn Sydney, Australia, the vision for a home designed by the architectural firm Stanic Harding was to create a modern structure open to, and connected with, the outdoors.  We see a hint of that in an open-door wall at the top of the photo.  Concealing the presence of a television almost seems mandatory in a home centered around the outdoors. And in a room with seating facing away from the walls the issue is clear — where’s the TV?

You don’t see many pop-up TVs and this type of lift might not work with some of the larger sizes but it’s a great strategy for this room. And note, the screen faces away from the windows so outdoor light doesn’t interfere.

    I love the floating cabinet. I would never have thought of that.
