Custom Wall Panels with Shelves & Cubbies for Hospitality Interiors
Milestone PLM developed custom hospitality storage casework featuring open shelves, cubbies, drawers, and integrated lighting provisions using Autodesk Inventor in just one week.
Milestone PLM supported the development of custom storage casework for a children’s club within a hospitality environment. The design combines open display shelving, divided storage compartments, lower drawers, and integrated end panels to create an organized and visually coordinated storage arrangement. Contrasting wood finishes, painted components, and linear shelf elements contribute to a playful yet structured interior aesthetic. The casework was developed in Autodesk Inventor by interpreting the supplied technical drawings and translating the layout into a three-dimensional assembly. The modelling process focused on coordinating shelf levels, divider positions, cabinet sections, decorative framing, and lighting provisions while maintaining the intended relationship between the storage units and the surrounding room layout.
What Made This Project Complex
The principal design task involved organizing a combination of open cubbies and enclosed storage within a continuous casework arrangement while preserving the proportions and detailing specified in the architectural drawings.
How Milestone PLM delivered
The casework was developed as a structured Autodesk Inventor assembly, with the major storage sections and their individual components coordinated against the supplied plan, elevations, and detail views. The modelling approach concentrated on defining the compartment geometry, maintaining consistent shelf alignment, and establishing the interfaces between the wood panels, painted components, and supporting structure. The resulting model provides a three-dimensional reference for reviewing the storage configuration, assessing the visual relationship between the two units, and communicating the intended construction arrangement.
- Three-dimensional Autodesk Inventor model of the children’s club storage casework.
- Coordinated representation of open shelves, divided cubbies, and lower drawer assemblies.
- Modelled end panels, decorative framing, and base sections.
- Integration of the specified wood and paint finish references.
- Representation of shelf-mounted linear LED lighting provisions.
- Coordinated digital assembly to support design review, fabrication detailing, and installation planning.
How we structured the work
Architectural Drawing Interpretation
Reviewed the supplied plan, front elevation, section views, and detail drawings to identify the overall casework envelope, compartment arrangement, finish specifications, and lighting requirements.
Storage Layout Development
Defined product parameters and programming logic to automate cabinet variations while maintaining consistent design standards and machining requirements.
Component Modelling and Assembly
Created the individual casework elements in Autodesk Inventor and assembled them into the intended arrangement, coordinating shelf positions, panel interfaces, and end conditions.
Finish and Feature Coordination
Applied the documented wood and paint finish references and considered the linear LED strip-lighting provisions in relation to the shelf geometry.
Design Review
Reviewed the assembled model against the supplied drawings to assess compartment proportions, component positioning, and construction interfaces. The model was prepared as a reference for subsequent detailing and production coordination.
