CUSTOM CABINETRY

Drawn for this house.

Cabinetry developed around the room, its proportions and the way the house is used.

Built for its place. Fitted where it belongs.

THE STARTING POINT

The room comes first.

We do not start with a cabinet and ask where it fits.

We start with the room, the proportions and what the house needs from it.

ROOMPROPORTIONUSE

Corner of a kitchen where the upper cabinetry, crown molding and hood meet the ceiling

CABINETRY

Made for the room.

Cabinetry changes with the room it lives in. The work begins with what needs to fit, store, open, close and remain in place.

White custom kitchen cabinetry with a marble-top island, paneled refrigerator surround and a fitted range hood

KITCHENS

Where the house is used most.

Cabinetry planned around the room, its daily use and the architecture already there.

Bathroom with a fitted wood vanity, marble top and a glass corner shower

BATHROOMS

Smaller room, tighter fit.

Fitted cabinetry made for smaller proportions and specific use.

CLOSETS

Storage developed around the room rather than imposed on it.

Closet work is drawn the same way as the rest of the cabinetry: around the wall it meets, the door it opens against and what has to live inside it.

Bathroom with a fitted white shaker vanity, stone top and a marble-walled shower

OTHER FITTED CABINETRY

For a permanent piece.

For spaces that call for a permanent piece made around the house.

IN THE DETAILS

What the eye finds later.

Grain. Hardware. Finish. Joinery. Proportion.

The parts are considered together because the finished piece has to read as one.

MADE FOR THE HOUSE

No house repeats itself.

Custom does not mean forcing every room into the same Palladio look.

The work changes with the architecture, the proportions and the people who live there.

White custom kitchen cabinetry running the length of the room, with a marble-top island Bathroom with a fitted wood vanity, marble top and a glass corner shower Built-in pantry cabinet in green painted millwork with glass doors and open shelving, fitted between two walls

Painted white cabinetry, run full height around the room.

Wall-to-wall built-in library in painted blue-grey cabinetry, open shelves above shaker base doors BEYOND CABINETRY Some rooms need more. When the piece becomes part of the architecture itself, the work moves into built-ins and millwork. EXPLORE BUILT-INS
