No. 02 — Wardrobes & Armoires

Wardrobes and armoires for rooms without a closet.

Many condos here were built without a closet at all. A free-standing wardrobe in solid wood — cane or slatted doors, arched or square — gives the room storage that reads as furniture, and moves with you when you sell.

  • Sizes 120 – 240 cm wide · to 240 cm tall
  • Doors Cane · slat · flush · arched
  • Inside Rails · shelves · drawers · mirror

No. 03 — Media Walls & TV Units

Media walls that hide every cable and hold the room.

A TV on a bracket is a rental. A media wall — the screen recessed, the soundbar hidden, the console below, lit shelves either side — is a home. Built to your wall and your equipment, wired before it reaches your door.

  • Widths 200 – 500 cm
  • Screens Up to 85″ recessed

No. 04 — Shelving, Desks & Niches

Floating shelves, desks and niches cut to the alcove.

The awkward space beside the column, the nook under the stair, the wall that needs a desk for the remote-work guest. Fitted carpentry that turns the odd corner into the best part of the room — solid wood, invisible fixings, lit if you like.

  • Shelves Any length · 20 – 40 cm deep
  • Desks 120 – 240 cm
  • Fixings Invisible · rated for stone

No. 6Woods & Panels

Materials that breathe in the humidity.

Oak

Stable, pale, takes a matte finish beautifully. The default for closet interiors and drawer boxes.

Parota

For the pieces you see — media consoles, shelves, feature panels. Warm, figured, unmistakably local.

Cane & Slat

Air moves through. On wardrobe and closet doors it is the difference between fresh and musty in August.

Matte Lacquer

Handleless, wipeable, disappears into a white room. Moisture-rated substrate only.

—How It Works

How a custom closet or built-in is fitted.

Wall-to-wall joinery made for rooms that are never quite square, in finishes that hold up to coastal humidity.

ch10 05 — survey the opening01

Survey the opening

We measure the alcove at three heights, because the walls are rarely parallel. Every carcass is cut to the numbers from your room, not a catalogue.

ch06 01 — plan the inside02

Plan the inside

Hanging, shelving, drawers, shoes, luggage — set out on a drawing before anything is built. Rentals get a lockable owner cupboard if you want one.

Built for the climate

Sealed carcasses, cane or slatted fronts where airflow matters, and soft-close hardware rated for salt air. Nothing that swells in September.

tulum rooftop dining — installed and scribed04

Installed and scribed

Fitted in place and scribed to the wall so there is no gap and no filler strip. Doors adjusted, shelves levelled, room cleaned.

FAQ

Custom closets & built-ins — questions, answered.

How do you stop closets smelling musty in the humidity?

Ventilation, by design. Cane or slatted doors, ventilated back panels, a gap at the plinth and — in walk-ins — a quiet extractor tied to the AC. Solid wood and moisture-rated substrates rather than raw particleboard, which is what actually smells.

How much does a walk-in closet cost?

It scales with the run of metres and the interior — a lit island with drawers costs more than open shelving. Send the room dimensions and we quote it in writing, fitted and installed.

Can you fit a closet or media wall in a condo I don’t live in yet?

Yes. We work from the developer plans, survey once you have access, and install before you arrive. Most of our rental fit-outs happen with the owner abroad.

How long does fitted carpentry take?

Sign-off to installation runs on a written schedule. Installation itself is a single visit — everything is pre-fitted locally.

Will a media wall fit my TV and soundbar?

We build to your equipment — recess sized to the screen, ventilation for the amp, a chase for every cable. Tell us the models, or let us specify them with our technology team.

Do you install in Playa del Carmen?

Yes, with our own crew, and it is included in the quote — scribed to the walls, wired, lit and cleaned up the same day.
