How do you call these plug into holes every inch frames used for this? I could use something like this for related projects.

FWIW I used similar IKEA units.

Cheap and flexible, although the way they work is different (uprights have holes drilled every 2cm or so for their entire length, and you insert metal dowels at the height you need and the shelves clip into that.

What sold it for me was that the IKEA ones are made of wood, so it makes it trivially easy to modify - cut a bit out here, screw something in there etc. This made it ideal for my shed workshop build where I needed some customisations for awkward tools and I could put a workbench exactly where I want it just by screwing it in. Finally just screw the uprights together and into the wooden walls of the shed and you have a rock-solid custom-built racking system that can be reconfigured and modified easily.

This looks cool, but I really don't understand the constraints here. You have high tens of thousands of dollars of gear, but can't afford a space larger than a closet for it? Where did the space constraint come from? Was it just to see if you could do it? I'm just a bit perplexed as to how this particular combination of things came together.

I hate to be a quote-TFA-and-say-nothing-else guy but: > Location: Brooklyn, NY

Yes, and?

Oh, didn't think that'd make it to the front page, appreciated! OP and builder here. The website was purely because a friend and I were looking for design work during lockdown and put together a couple of things we recently worked on, but basic design and build was a fun ~6 months solo project. We had a good discussion on https://www.reddit.com/r/architecture/comments/1mlo6hu/tryin... over the weekend with more detai…

What brand of keyboard (the music keyboard) do you have there? It's quite narrow isn't it?

"Given the spatial constraint, it became immediately clear that we'd need to increase the available horizontal space by layering shelves vertically, which yielded more area than the entire room floor space while only taking up a third of it."

This must be the most convoluted way I have ever seen for simply saying "I've put up some shelves".

Korg D1, indeed, good combination of solid full size keys in a slim package.

The contrast between all that fancy equipment and the actual work surface being a cheap-as-can-be fibreboard (that will get nasty quickly and suck up all liquids) with a more or less unfinished edge that will probably feel uncomfortable is a bit too much of the designerly touch for me...

There is no contrast lol, if you actually consider the other gear choices he made they are all equally terrible. The god awfully un-ergo chair, poor measuring LS50's, junk keyboard......

This looks very charming, but how do you keep it dusted/clean practically?

Small room size helped a lot: Blueair HEPA filter with a (long, think Ostrich) feather duster for day to day, and ~ weekly wet wipe / vacuum.

Maybe it's just me but this looks like a nightmare to get any work done. Way too cluttered and uncomfortable looking. That "Desk" if it can be called that just looks like someone nipped down to their local DIY shop and picked up some budget garage storage, slapped a bit of rough cut wood on it and called it a day.

A little OT: It seems that so few studio monitors (speakers) have grilles. I have kids and I don't want to need to trust them, or to need to ban them. I believe Genelec have grilles but the price is a little high for me for the models with decent-sized drivers. Given that Genelec are so popular, I can't imagine presence-of-grille presents a fundamental compromise, sound-wise.

KRK seem to have grilles on theirs, but I want something with a flatter sound.

Any HN'ers out there got any tips?
