Custom kitchens, large or small, require much more creative skill than simply arranging pre-fab boxes to hang on the walls. A kitchen is the most complicated room in any home. Your kitchen has more working parts, a greater variety of surfaces, and serves more diverse functions than any other room. Custom kitchens are a creative challenge. A custom kitchen is the fulfillment of an elaborate, composite fantasy. We listen very carefully to all the ways your kitchen needs to serve your household's daily needs, express your personal style, and provide the most inviting environment in which to share with family and friends.
Whether expanding upon the vision of an architect, collaborating with an interior designer, or brainstorming with an individual client, we are listening carefully to the voices behind the project. Our specialty is custom woodwork, designed to create rich, inviting interior spaces. The furnishings we design and build are expressions of the values we hold and share with our clients. A family room is more than a space to house stereo equipment and a television. A library or study is more than a space to shelve books and maintain household records.
Free-standing or built-in, traditional or contemporary, the finest custom-built furniture is best understood as functional, three-dimensional art. Each piece has personality of its own, as individual as the clients for whom it was created. Warm and inviting, graceful and enchanting, bold and substantial, or stately and elegant, each piece is conceived to serve a particular purpose, and to do so with a particular style. If you are the homeowner who appreciates living each day surrounded by beautiful forms that function to simplify and enhance our lives, ours is the custom shop to design and build those pieces that enchant as well as they serve.
