Air conditioning units are a common eyesore on apartment balconies. This custom build utilises Merbau timber.

The project

 

When I first inspected this apartment, one of the first things that stuck out to me was the gigantic eyesore of an aircon unit visible through the largest window of the living room.

We marked the size of the air conditioner unit, dictating the width of the tabletop and placement of the legs.

To hide the aircon even further, I decided to paint it a dull grey.

We then stained and finished the timber and installed it over the air conditioner unit.
