Architecture,
not appliance.
For the rooms where the casing should disappear into the architecture itself. The Architrave is a commission service — a casing designed in dialogue with the room.
When the casing
should disappear.
A floor-to-ceiling slatted feature wall in solid rift-sawn European white oak, with the air conditioner concealed behind one removable section. A bay of cane between two pilasters. A wainscoting that reads as architecture and quietly conceals a unit.
Every Architrave is one-of-one. There is no catalogue. The brief begins with a survey.
Four steps,
twelve weeks.
— THE PROCESS We measure the room.
An on-site visit by the AYR team. We assess the unit, the architecture, sightlines, and how the room is actually lived in. From this we draft a proposal — silhouette, material, dimensions, hardware.
We draw a single object.
Within two weeks you receive a small dossier: elevation, plan, detail of the removable section, and a finish sample of the chosen timber. One round of revisions is included.
We build, in Amsterdam.
Four to six weeks in our Westerpark workshop. Solid timber, hand-finished, French-cleat hung, magnet-snug. Lift-off in seconds for service.
We install, on-site.
A typical Architrave installs in two days — one for the cleats and the architecture, one for the casing itself. Filter access is demonstrated. The room is left clean.
From €8,400.
Architrave commissions begin at €8,400 for a single-bay casing in solid European oak, installed within the Amsterdam region. Cane, linen, and walnut are quoted per project. Travel beyond the Randstad is added separately.
We survey, design, fabricate, and install. There is no third party.
