Walk in robes, built in robes and bedroom storage for Batemans Bay houses, made to the opening the room actually has. Before anything is drawn we go through what has to be stored: long hang, short hang, shelving, drawer banks and the bulky items that never fit a standard robe. The internals are then laid out against that list rather than against a catalogue module. Everything is machined at our Huskisson workshop, and the opening is re-measured on site once the plaster is on and before a panel is cut.

A built in robe is only as square as the opening it goes into, and very few openings are. We measure the width at the top, the middle and the base, check the floor for fall and the reveal for plumb, then build the carcass to the smallest of those dimensions and close the difference with scribe fillers. Doors are hung last, once the carcass is fixed and levelled, so the gaps read even across the whole run.
A walk in robe lives or dies on the circulation rather than on the cabinetry. We set the aisle width first, then work the hanging and shelving around it so two people can be in there at once and a drawer can open fully without hitting the run behind it. Corners are the part that gets wasted, so we detail them as either a full return or a dedicated shelf stack instead of leaving dead space behind a door.
Internals are where a robe earns its keep. Adjustable shelving rather than fixed, drawer banks sized to what goes in them, a top box for the bulky items that only come out twice a year, and a full height section for anything long. We specify soft close runners rated to the load they will carry, and set the shelf spacings from the storage list we took at the start rather than from a standard height.
Ashbrook is owned and run by a qualified builder with 15+ years on site, so we can answer early whether a robe wall is holding anything up, and what moving it would really cost. That is a builder’s question rather than a cabinet maker’s, and getting it answered before the plasterer arrives is usually the difference between a robe that fits the room and a room that fits the robe. Everything else we build for the house is on our Batemans Bay custom joinery page, and the full range is on our wardrobes page.
Openings measured in three places, not one.
