Custom Kitchens designed, built and installed for Manhattan — pre-war buildings that are never square and boards that decide the schedule. Our New York showroom is on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, a straightforward run from anywhere in the borough.
Almost every New York kitchen is a fitting problem before it is a design one. The room is smaller than the brief, the building is older than the plan assumes, and the walls are neither square nor plumb. That is why nothing here is fabricated from a drawing alone — the run is templated on site, scribes are drawn in from the start, and tall units are engineered so they can physically be carried into the room. Getting the appliances agreed early matters more here than anywhere, because in a space this tight a change of oven can move the whole run.
Co-op and condo boards run the job. Alteration agreements, insurance certificates, approved contractors, permitted work hours, elevator bookings and a building engineer signing off — all of it precedes the first delivery, and none of it is negotiable. We build the schedule around the building's rules.
Everything has to fit a passenger or service lift and turn in a pre-war corridor. Cabinets are sized to be carried, and anything that will not fit is engineered to assemble on site.
Pre-war apartments are out of square, out of plumb and rarely level. Every run is templated on site, scribes are drawn in from the start, and nothing is fabricated off a plan alone.
This is the constant. Wherever the job is, a custom kitchen from us is put together this way.
A custom kitchen is not a better-made version of a stock one — it is a different process. The plan is drawn around how the room is actually used and what appliances are going in it, and the cabinetry is then made to that drawing. Nothing is sized to a catalogue module, which is why a custom kitchen fits a room that stock cabinetry can only approximate.
Every cutout, clearance and ventilation run comes from the appliance list, so we ask for it at the first meeting rather than at the end.
Cabinet widths follow the plan. There are no filler panels covering the difference between a catalogue size and the wall.
The grain match approved on a sample is the grain match delivered, because the same shop sprays every panel in the run.

We work throughout Manhattan, including the Upper East Side, Tribeca, the West Village, the Upper West Side and Chelsea. The housing here is pre-war co-ops and condominiums, converted loft buildings downtown, and townhouses across the older districts, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our New York showroom is on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, a straightforward run from anywhere in the borough. The showroom is at 1200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn. Come and see the materials in person, or send the drawings and we will price the job room by room.
Every project is photographed room by room with the materials and the detailing listed, so you can see how a job like this is actually put together before you commit to one.

You can also search every finish we specify and every appliance we design around.
One shop draws, finishes and installs all of it, which is why the closet matches the kitchen and there is one number to call when something needs adjusting.
