Architectural Radiator Cover
A custom radiator cover with clean white facades, an integrated ventilation grille, warm wood detailing, and removable panels designed for easy access.

Cabinetry Built Around the Room
Designed to integrate a standard radiator or PTAC unit into the surrounding interior, this custom cover turns a necessary mechanical element into a considered piece of millwork.
Clean white surfaces keep the composition visually quiet, while a warm wood detail introduces subtle contrast. A recessed top grille allows heat to circulate efficiently without interrupting the overall form.
The top surface also functions as a practical shelf or extension of the window area, while concealed magnetic connections allow the front panel to be removed when access to the equipment is required.

DESIGN DETAILS
Cabinetry & Material Details
The project comes together at the points where cabinetry meets appliances, stone, lighting, and hardware. Each element is coordinated with the cabinet layout rather than treated as a separate addition.
Integrated Ventilation
A recessed grille in the top surface allows warm air to circulate efficiently while remaining visually integrated with the millwork.
Clean Architectural Lines
Smooth white facades conceal the mechanical equipment and give the installation the appearance of built-in furniture rather than a conventional radiator cover.
Warm Wood Detail
A restrained wood accent introduces warmth and definition against the white cabinetry without adding unnecessary visual complexity.
Functional Top Surface
The upper panel provides a usable surface that can function as a shelf or continue the visual line of the adjacent window sill.
Removable Access Panel
Hidden magnetic connections allow the front panel to be removed for maintenance while keeping the exterior free from visible hardware.
Integrated Millwork
The proportions, finishes, ventilation, and access requirements were resolved as one composition so the climate equipment becomes part of the room rather than a separate visual element.
