Tamarama context

What ikea furniture assembly looks like in Tamarama

Many Tamarama apartments are clifftop or set behind Tamarama Marine Drive — ocean spray reaches inside through balcony doors more often than the design intent acknowledged. We use stainless wall-fix hardware on every PAX that ends up against an ocean-facing wall, even when the wall is inside the unit. Floors are typically oiled hardwood or bluestone — we run vinyl protection at every threshold, and we vacuum-extract every drilling cut. The design brief is usually 'looks integrated', so filler panels and scribed edges are standard.

Recent Tamarama job

Recent: 240cm PAX with custom side-panel scribing to align with a built-in oak desk in a Tamarama Marine Drive apartment. Floor-level laser used to confirm shim shadow before the unit was anchored, brushed-stainless soft-close hinges fitted in place of the supplied zinc, full vacuum-extract on every drill cut. Five hours.
