Residential Joinery

Bespoke built-in joinery, designed as an integral part of the architecture.

ZAUS Custom Residential Joinery provides complete made-to-measure cabinetry and built-in joinery packages for living spaces, studies, libraries, bedrooms, entries, entertaining areas and other interior applications beyond the kitchen, wardrobe and bathroom.

Each package is developed around the project drawings, dimensions and interior design intent, allowing cabinetry, shelving, storage, display elements, cabinet fronts, finishes, hardware and integrated lighting to be coordinated as part of the broader architecture.

From understated built-in storage and entertainment units through to full-height libraries, feature walls, home offices, bars and detailed display cabinetry, each installation can be configured according to the space, intended function, architectural language and project budget.

Made-to-Measure Residential Joinery

Unlike standalone furniture or predetermined modular cabinetry, ZAUS residential joinery is manufactured around the dimensions and architectural conditions of the individual space.

Cabinet widths and heights, shelving, internal divisions, open and concealed storage, equipment requirements and architectural interfaces can be developed according to the intended application.

Custom joinery can be developed for:

• TV and entertainment units

• Living-room cabinetry

• Home offices and studies

• Libraries and bookshelves

• Bars and entertaining cabinetry

• Display and collector cabinetry

• Entry and hallway joinery

• Bedroom cabinetry

• Bedside cabinetry

• Integrated bedheads

• Window seats and integrated storage

• Full-height storage walls

• Open shelving

• Display niches

• Feature cabinetry

• Architectural built-ins

This allows the joinery to respond directly to walls, openings, ceiling heights and surrounding finishes rather than requiring the room to conform to predetermined furniture dimensions.

Cabinetry & Construction

Residential cabinetry can be specified using a range of manufacturer-supported engineered board and timber-based materials, allowing the construction method to be selected according to the intended application and project requirements.

Available construction options include selected:

• Decorative and melamine-faced boards

• Engineered particleboard

• OSB-based board

• Multi-layer and plywood-based board

• Timber-veneer substrates

• Selected natural timber components

ENF-grade board options are available across selected manufacturer specifications.

Final substrate, board thickness, edge treatment and construction specification are determined according to the selected cabinetry system and individual application.

Cabinet Fronts & Finishes

Cabinet fronts can be selected independently of the internal cabinet construction, allowing residential joinery to respond to different architectural styles, interior palettes and project budgets.

Available manufacturer-supported systems include:

• Decorative cabinet fronts

• PET fronts in selected matt and gloss finishes

• UV-finished fronts

• Vacuum-formed and profiled doors

• Painted cabinetry

• Natural timber veneer

• Selected natural timber applications

• Aluminium-framed glass cabinet doors

• Integrated handle profiles

• Architectural handles and pulls

The available palette extends from architectural whites, warm neutrals and greys through to darker finishes, stone-inspired surfaces, timber-look finishes and natural veneer.

Not every finish or door style is available across every construction system. Final material, colour, profile and surface treatment should therefore be confirmed against the selected cabinet-front specification.

Entertainment & Media Joinery

Entertainment cabinetry can be developed around the television, audio equipment and associated technology rather than treated simply as decorative cabinetry.

Depending on the project, configurations can incorporate:

• Television and media units

• Full-height entertainment walls

• Low-level cabinetry

• Floating cabinetry

• Open display shelving

• Concealed storage

• Equipment compartments

• Integrated cable management

• Display niches

• Feature wall panels

• Integrated lighting

Equipment dimensions, ventilation, cabling and service access should be considered during joinery development where relevant.

Home Offices & Studies

Custom study joinery can be developed around the available room dimensions and intended working requirements.

Configurations can include:

• Integrated desks

• Full-height storage

• Bookshelves

• Filing and document storage

• Display shelving

• Concealed cupboards

• Printer and equipment storage

• Integrated cable management

• Feature cabinetry

• Integrated lighting

This allows working surfaces, storage and surrounding cabinetry to be developed as one architectural composition rather than combining unrelated pieces of furniture.

Libraries & Display Cabinetry

Libraries and display cabinetry can combine open shelving, concealed storage, glazed cabinetry and integrated lighting according to the items being stored or displayed.

Shelving dimensions and spacing can be configured around books, artwork, collections and decorative objects, while lower cabinetry can provide concealed storage where required.

For larger installations, cabinetry can extend from floor to ceiling to create a more integrated architectural feature.

Bars & Entertaining Joinery

Custom bar and entertaining cabinetry can be developed as part of living rooms, dedicated entertaining spaces, wine rooms or other residential areas.

Depending on the project design, configurations can incorporate:

• Base and overhead cabinetry

• Display shelving

• Glass-fronted cabinetry

• Bottle and glassware storage

• Integrated appliances

• Work surfaces

• Sinks where required

• Feature finishes

• Integrated lighting

Where appliances, plumbing or worktops are incorporated, these elements should be coordinated with the cabinetry before manufacture.

Entry & Hallway Joinery

Entries and circulation spaces can incorporate built-in joinery where additional storage or architectural definition is required.

Applications can include:

• Entry consoles

• Full-height storage

• Shoe storage

• Seating

• Display niches

• Open shelving

• Concealed cupboards

• Mirror integration

• Feature wall treatments

These elements can be designed to integrate with surrounding doors, wall finishes and architectural detailing rather than appearing as freestanding furniture.

Bedroom & Bedhead Joinery

Custom residential joinery can extend beyond the wardrobe to other built-in elements within bedrooms and master suites.

Configurations can include:

• Integrated bedheads

• Bedside cabinetry

• Floating bedside units

• Display shelving

• Bedroom storage

• Dressing tables

• Window seats

• Feature panels

• Integrated lighting

These elements can be coordinated with the wardrobe and broader bedroom material palette to establish a consistent interior language.

Window Seats & Integrated Storage

Window seats can combine seating, cabinetry and concealed storage within a single built-in element.

Depending on the architecture, these can incorporate drawer storage, hinged storage, open shelving, adjacent cabinetry or integrated display elements.

Dimensions should be coordinated with the window position, surrounding walls and intended seating arrangement before manufacture.

Glass & Display Cabinetry

Aluminium-framed glass cabinet fronts can be incorporated into bars, libraries, entertainment units, display cabinetry and other feature applications.

Glass-fronted sections can be combined with solid cabinetry, open shelving and concealed storage to control the balance between display and practical storage.

Selected frame finishes and compatible glass options can be coordinated with the surrounding joinery specification.

Integrated Storage

Internal cabinetry can be configured around the intended use of each installation.

Depending on the application, storage can incorporate:

• Adjustable shelving

• Fixed shelving

• Internal drawers

• Concealed cupboards

• Open display storage

• Equipment storage

• Accessory compartments

• Display niches

• Specialised storage arrangements

Internal layouts can therefore be developed around the project requirements rather than restricted to predetermined furniture modules.

Architectural Wall & Feature Integration

Residential joinery can be coordinated with complementary architectural elements including wall panelling, feature panels, profiles, trims and decorative finishes.

This allows cabinetry and surrounding wall treatments to be developed as a continuous architectural composition rather than visually separate components.

For projects requiring more extensive wall treatments, ZAUS Architectural Wall Panelling provides a dedicated system category that can be coordinated with the custom cabinetry.

Joinery Hardware

Cabinetry can be specified with concealed hinges, drawer runners, soft-close mechanisms and specialised functional hardware according to the required performance and project specification.

Selected systems from Blum, Hettich and DTC are available within supported manufacturing specifications.

Hardware selection can therefore be coordinated according to cabinet type, loading requirements, opening mechanism, functionality and budget rather than applying one hardware system universally across every installation.

Integrated Joinery Lighting

Lighting can be incorporated directly into cabinetry to provide both functional illumination and architectural emphasis.

Depending on the selected design, available systems can include:

• Integrated shelf lighting

• Illuminated glass shelving

• Display cabinet lighting

• Drawer lighting

• Integrated LED profiles

• Cabinet downlights

• Touch controls

• Hand-wave sensor controls

• Door-activated switching

• Motion-sensing controls

Integrating lighting during design and manufacture allows channels, profiles, wiring pathways and switching requirements to be considered as part of the joinery rather than added after installation.

Finishes

Finish selections can be coordinated across cabinetry, shelving, feature elements and associated architectural joinery.

Available manufacturer-supported finish families include:

Decorative Board — architectural solid colours, neutrals, stone-inspired surfaces and timber-look finishes.

PET & UV — selected matt, tactile and gloss surface options.

Vacuum-Formed — solid, timber-look and profiled decorative cabinet fronts.

Painted — selected architectural colours across flat and profiled designs.

Timber & Veneer — natural timber veneer and selected timber applications for premium architectural joinery.

Aluminium & Glass — aluminium-framed cabinet fronts with selected frame finishes and compatible glass options.

Final finish availability is dependent on the selected material, cabinet-front system and manufacturer specification.

Whole-of-Project Joinery Coordination

Custom residential joinery can be coordinated alongside other ZAUS joinery packages to establish a consistent material and detailing language throughout the project.

Kitchen Joinery • Wardrobes & Dressing Rooms • Bathroom Vanities • Laundry Joinery • Entertainment Units • Studies • Libraries • Bars • Display Cabinetry • Architectural Wall Panelling

Where appropriate, cabinet fronts, finishes, handles, glass systems, hardware and detailing can be coordinated across multiple rooms rather than specifying each space independently.

Project Development & Coordination

ZAUS develops each custom residential joinery package from the project documentation and selected specification.

The process can incorporate:

Review Project Drawings • Define the Joinery Scope • Develop Layouts • Select Materials & Finishes • Configure Storage • Select Hardware • Coordinate Services & Equipment • Integrate Lighting • Finalise Shop Drawings • Manufacture • Deliver • Coordinate Installation

This allows the architecture, functional requirements, manufacturing details and relevant interfaces to be considered before production begins.

Applications

Living Rooms • Studies • Home Offices • Libraries • Bedrooms • Entries • Hallways • Bars • Entertainment Areas • Custom Homes • Luxury Residences • Apartments • Townhouses • Multi-Residential Developments • Renovations • Architect-Designed Homes

Designed for the Space. Integrated with the Architecture.

ZAUS coordinates custom residential joinery as part of the broader interior architecture rather than as a collection of standalone furniture.

Define the Application • Develop the Layout • Select the Construction • Select Fronts & Finishes • Configure Storage • Select Hardware • Coordinate Services • Integrate Lighting • Manufacture & Deliver

The result is a made-to-measure joinery package developed around the architecture, function, specification and budget of the individual project.
