Weber Arquitectos has designed a cabin in Valle de Bravo, Mexico, that features a large wall of open wood shelving in the living room.
The light wood shelving, which surrounds the TV and is the focal point of the living room, has a pair of cabinets and wood surfaces that are held in place by metal rods.

Underneath the shelving is a low open cabinet that’s lined with steel, creating a space for firewood storage to feed the adjacent fireplace.

The shelves cover the entire wall, with the top of them visible from a second floor bedroom. The metal rods also follow the line of the ceiling, drawing attention to its slope.
