LAARS

1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 5

InDepth designed this wall-hung home boiler and water heater for LAARS. We sought out to minimize external fasteners, while simpliying the process by which maintenance workers access the internal components. We also designed the center panel to open level, creating a tool tray for ease in servicing.
