Office storage that stays apartment-scaled
Paper, printers, and camera kits expand until the desk disappears. We plan storage as discrete modules — low cabinets, tall towers, and shelf bays — sized to Hamburg wall modules so nothing blocks door swings or fire escape paths in narrow corridors.
Working around Speicherstadt iron columns
Warehouse conversions leave round columns in the middle of useful walls. We notch cabinet backs or split a run into two carcases so the column becomes a visual divider rather than a dead zone.
Finish tones stay close to the brick and timber already in the loft; brass pulls echo the harbour metalwork without copying industrial clichés.
Storage part catalogue
Width and depth are external. Power is for modules that hide a printer or charging shelf. Storage lists usable litre volume or drawer count.
| Part | Width | Depth | Power | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PH-STOW-LOW | 100 cm | 42 cm | 0 W | 3 drawers |
| PH-STOW-MID | 80 cm | 45 cm | 200 W | 120 L |
| PH-STOW-TALL | 60 cm | 40 cm | 60 W | 5 shelves |
| PH-STOW-PRINT | 70 cm | 50 cm | 350 W | Printer bay |
Using corridors without blocking egress
Altona corridors are often the only unused wall. German fire rules still need a clear escape width. We keep hallway cabinets under 35 cm deep and above skirting so coats and bags do not pile into the path.
Magnetic catches reduce door swing into the walkway; we avoid soft-close mechanisms that fail in humid harbour summers.
Seeing inventory without opening every door
Open shelf modules with brass edge labels let you grab a binder without a full scavenger hunt. Closed doors hide visual noise for clients who join video calls from the same room.
Storage planning as a half-day visit is €350; full-day inventory and layout with millwork notes is €700.
