Custom Kitchens designed, built and installed for Westchester — big formal houses where the job is a kitchen, a pantry, a mudroom and a laundry. Our New York showroom in Brooklyn serves the county; most projects there are drawn on site.
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.
Westchester houses are big and formal, and the kitchen is usually the room that was last to be modernised. A butler's pantry, a mudroom and a real laundry are as much a part of the brief as the kitchen itself — the cabinetry job is rarely one room.
Four real seasons mean genuine humidity swings between summer and a heated winter. Solid timber elements are sized and detailed to move, because they will.
Older houses here often have plaster over lath, uneven floors and radiators in inconvenient places. Every one of those affects how a run is set out.
The specification below is the same whether the job is in Westchester or anywhere else we work — it is how we build, not what we build for the market.
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 Westchester, including Scarsdale, Rye, Bronxville, Chappaqua and Larchmont. The housing here is large colonials and Tudors on generous lots, many of them pre-war and on their third or fourth kitchen, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our New York showroom in Brooklyn serves the county; most projects there are drawn on site. The showroom is at 1200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn. Visit when it suits, or start by sending the plans and we will come back with a number per 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.
