Cabinetry as Architecture - 3 Approaches (An Architectural Essay) In this video Eric Reinholdt reviews three approaches to using integrated cabinetry as an architectural design element. The video opens with images of Shigeru Ban's furniture house where the cabinetry functions as not only a storage and spatial divider system, but also the home's structural support.

Meet the instructors
Eric Reinholdt is a founder of Thirty by Forty Design Workshop which was established in June 2013 in a home he designed overlooking Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island. In 2016, he designed and constructed the Long Studio to complement the Longhouse and serve as a full-scale model of his design principles and the latest in building science; this is the home for 30X40.
“My work celebrates humble materials, subtle contrasts and finely-crafted details. I have a strong interest in modern regionalist design, local materials and familiar building forms juxtaposed against modern, open floor plans. I employ a minimalist, Shaker-like palette of details inspired by the site and natural surroundings.”
