Materials / cabinetry
Built for the room you actually have.
Fully custom cabinetry
Cabinetry can use solid maple, oak, or walnut; soft-close hardware; floor-to-ceiling construction; counter-depth appliances; and concealed paneled appliances for a luxury open-plan kitchen. It is built to fit irregular pre-war dimensions and high ceilings.
Countertops
Calacatta and Statuario marble are timeless and need regular sealing. Quartzite such as Sea Pearl offers a marble look with scratch and heat resistance. Engineered quartz such as Caesarstone, Cambria, or Silestone is low maintenance.
Manhattan delivery requires precise templating, narrow hallways, tight elevators, and building access hours to be part of the plan.
Building coordination
The building is part of the kitchen plan.
Plan for COIs, alteration agreement requirements, service elevator scheduling, material deliveries, common-area protection, and board submission materials.
We help coordinate filings through licensed professionals when required.
Final approvals are determined by the building, board, or applicable agency.
