ᐅ Planning recessed spaces for closets, wardrobes, and similar storage areas

I also don’t understand what kind of carpenters you all have. Ours were priced a bit higher than IKEA, but significantly lower than the well-known premium brands (well, we don’t have solid wood installations). I would say: have it done by a carpenter; that way you get exactly what you want for not much more money. The prices I’m reading here make me dizzy. We must have been lucky.

Maybe they’d be willing to deliver to Berlin?

Yes @Climbee! Send it to me. I’d even pay him double.
Here, the carpenters wanted 1000,- just for a simple enclosure of the air conditioning outdoor unit.

For the kitchen, we received a specific measurement from the kitchen studio (niche depth 63cm (25 inches)).

Unfortunately, this specific figure becomes less precise once you consider that the raw structural dimensions differ from the actual ones because of the plastering.

However, we don’t have an exact centimeter measurement for the wardrobe and similar items.

How should such niches be planned in a standardized way?

I suspected that the depths would vary, but hoped that, similar to kitchens, there might be some more consistent standard or at least a niche dimension that can be safely used…

So, basically I gather that you plan niches between 60 and 70cm (24 and 28 inches) deep.

Coat closet, wardrobe, children’s room closet

Sorry for the many quotes. But with each one, I wondered if you weren’t sure what you actually want or need. A wardrobe might use the entire room width rather than a niche, and children’s rooms often are planned without niche solutions. A niche in the cloakroom makes sense, yes. But it’s not necessarily required.

Pax is nice and affordable, but there are other systems with different dimensions. Usually, a room the size of a storage room or a stylish hallway cabinet is more suitable.

Much depends on the planning – if it’s not part of the plan, then it’s not needed. Not every cabinet has to be a built-in unit, and for small awkward spaces, you can add shelves yourself with a door in front if necessary. Those don’t need to have a 60cm (24 inches) depth; they can be as shallow as 30cm (12 inches). With 60cm (24 inches), you also need to be able to reach items at the back…

Regular carpenters still work for reasonable prices. It’s just that when they do a lot of shopfitting, especially for pharmacies, it naturally affects their rates.

67 or 71 would both be prime, let the dice decide

What does prime mean?

That’s quite funny – I assume you mean the algorithm. This is about calculating a minimal spanning tree, which could be related to niche calculations. It’s especially amusing because when choosing the lowest cost from node to node, the decision is always optimal at the moment – but in the end, it’s uncertain whether applying the algorithm leads to the best overall global result.

A prime number is a number that is only divisible by 1 and itself.
