1. Managing an under-slope design efficiently

A cupboard under a roof slope, attic or staircase is rarely standard. The project must follow angles, heights, access constraints and storage needs.

The problem of under-stair or attic furniture

The difficulty is to create useful storage without losing precision. Each side, reinforcement, front and shelf can have a different geometry.

Doors, drawers, shelves and hardware must remain usable despite the slope and limited access.
