Transforming overlooked spaces into places of focus and inspiration.

bookshelf & desk
Project Overview
A loft landing becomes a working library. Shelving follows the roofline to the peak, reached by a rolling library ladder, and a built-in desk sits at the railing overlooking the great room below.
From the desk, the view carries across the cabin's windows to the North Georgia mountains.

The level of craftsmanship is many times greater than any of the other cabinets we had researched. It is absolutely worth the time and money you invest. He does not take shortcuts, period. From the precision of measuring and cutting to the wood, paint, fittings, and everything in between, it is all top notch.

I have always wanted a built-in floor-to-ceiling bookcase with a library ladder but I wasn't sure that would ever come to pass. Mathias captured my dream bookcase down to the very last detail and the result is better than I ever hoped it could be.

Creativity Starts With A Custom Blade
At Woodwork Franzreb, we regularly procure custom cutting profiles that allow us to create bespoke moldings, trims, door details, and architectural millwork that simply cannot be purchased from a catalog. Custom knives give us the freedom to match existing historic millwork, reproduce discontinued profiles, or bring a designer's original vision to life with precision. The result is greater design flexibility, seamless integration with your home's character, and details that feel as though they have always belonged there.
