Build-In Benefits For Your Home!

Built-ins are more affordable than you think

When considering the alternatives for storage and use of audio-video equipment, custom built-in cabinetry may be more cost effective than the store-bought/ready-made alternatives. Today’s plasma screen monitors and multi channel speaker systems are often difficult to fit into armoires and standard “TV Units” available in retail stores.

Basic built-in units can start as low as $2,500.00 depending on size

and complexity. The options for finishes and styling details are endless. A custom built-in will add value to your home as well as create an integrated look for your home video and audio equipment. A built-in shelving unit can also create more storage and display space for collections, artwork, or books.

A customized built-in is tailored to the needs and size of the room. This can be particularly important in a main television viewing area of your home, where aesthetics and functionality are important.

At William Miller Design, we can create a built-in unit to suit your pocketbook. Call us in Palm Desert at 760-836-9199 to create a custom cabinet with an experienced Interior Designer.

Glass: Art That's Visible!

San Soucie Art Glass Studios has been a preferred artist of William Miller for many years, bringing a beautiful element to any room with their creative glass work.

They have recently been selected to create glass for One Bryant Park, the site of the former World Trade Center. Their work will be in three areas: suspended over the main desk, as an accent in the elevator lobby, and the ceiling in the secondary lobby.

Additionally, they were selected to create a carved glass representation of the Presidential Seal for the new aircraft carrier, The USS George H.W. Bush. The seal is hand-carved in three dimensions in glass. The seal is on display in the Tribute Room of this ship along with photographs and biographical information about the ship.

William Miller’s most recent project with San Soucie is an outdoor privacy screen in the main entry for a Mid-Century Modern residence at Eldorado Country Club in Indian Wells, California. This amazing architectural element is constructed of carved, textured and misted glass inset into metal framework. William Miller worked closely with San Soucie, the homeowner, and the landscape architect to create this entry element, which is backlit at night for dramatic effect. We are proud to have San Soucie Art Glass a design partner in our residential and commercial projects.
