The Brief

The client in Waterfall Hillcrest wanted a purpose-built entertainment unit that would anchor their lounge — something that filled the wall properly, held the TV without a bracket, and gave them real storage for decoders, sound equipment and everyday items.

Off-the-shelf units weren't going to work. The space needed something built to the exact wall width, with storage proportioned for how the family actually uses the room.

  • No built-in unit to hold the TV and equipment
  • Wall space going to waste
  • Freestanding furniture looked out of place
  • Needed concealed storage for cables and equipment
  • Wanted open shelving for display and books
  • Standard sizes didn't fit the space

Our Solution

We designed and built a full wall entertainment unit in melamine board, with a central TV recess sized for the client's screen, flanked by open shelving bays and closed storage cabinets below. The unit was built to the full wall width and height so it looks made for the room — because it was.

Cable access was routed through the back panel so the TV and equipment connect cleanly with no visible cabling. Adjustable shelves in the open bays let the client change the layout as they need. The unit was finished with ABS edging and timber trim for a polished, built-in look.

  • Full-wall built-in entertainment unit
  • Recessed TV bay sized for the client's screen
  • Open shelving bays for display and books
  • Closed storage cabinets with doors
  • Adjustable shelf positions throughout
  • Cable management routed through back panel
  • ABS edging for a clean, durable finish
  • Built to the exact dimensions of the wall

Custom Sizing

Built to the exact width and height of the wall so the unit looks made for the room.

Premium Melamine Finish

High-quality melamine with ABS edging and timber trim for a durable, polished appearance.

Custom Entertainment Units in Waterfall Hillcrest

Built for Your Wall, Not the Showroom Floor

Every lounge is different, and a custom built-in entertainment unit is designed around your specific wall, your TV size, and the way your family uses the room. The result fits perfectly and looks like it was always part of the house — because it was built for it.

TV Recesses, Shelving & Storage in One Unit

A well-designed entertainment unit does more than hold a TV. We combine a recessed TV bay with open shelving for display and books, and closed cabinetry below for decoders, gaming consoles and day-to-day clutter. Everything in one place, everything looking neat.

Cable Management Built In

Visible cables behind a TV quickly undo the look of a great unit. We route cable management through the back panel at the time of installation, so your TV and equipment connect cleanly from day one.

Melamine Board: the Right Material for the Job

Melamine board is the professional standard for built-in furniture. It's durable, easy to clean, available in a wide range of colours and finishes, and it holds its shape over time. We finish every exposed edge with ABS banding for impact resistance and a factory-clean look.

Adjustable Shelves for a Unit That Grows With You

Tastes and collections change. We fit adjustable shelf pins throughout the open bays so you can reposition shelves without tools whenever you need to.
