You don't have to buy something from a showroom.
We'll design and build your dream.

Why traditional training makes a difference.

Does an education in German cabinetmaking really make that much difference? It does, enough that we have founded our business on that very difference. It's a refined approach to design and proportion. It's an obsession with quality — every cut, joint, system of fastening, integrity of product, fit, and finish. It's a meticulousness in the way we organize our shop and flow our production. It's about the hands-on ethos of seeing a job through every step, from concept to installation, and refusing to hand it off to computer cutters and assemblers. Traditional European training in woodworking is like quality training in any profession: it opens possibilities and inspires trust. When the people working on your home pay committed attention to process and detail, chances are the outcome will be exactly what you want.

Consultation

You are involved (and listened to).

Our process is very different from what you will encounter at a large woodworking operation that sells kitchens from a showroom. To begin with, we don't sell. We deliberately work through your desires and intentions with questions and answers that create further possibilities. You have options with us. We have many years of experience in creatively solving design challenges. Several pages of notes are made. Our goal is to meet all your needs, not fit a stock product into your home. The initial consultations are a phase of reassurance. In us. In our approach. In your outcome.

Design

A solution that's distinctly yours.

After the initial meeting, Uli creates a floor plan (for larger projects) and two-dimensional drawings. You consult on the initial drawings to ensure they are what you want. We make adjustments together. You choose materials, hardware, and finishes. At the conclusion of this phase, you are provided with a detailed design and plan and billed for time and materials only. You then you have more time if you need it to decide and consider final changes. When you want to proceed, you receive a highly specific work order clearly describing timing, materials, production, and costs.

Production

Hands-on craftsmanship.
Production equipped.

We like it when customers and prospective customers visit our shop. There's a picture window that looks from the office into the shop so you can get a feel for our capabilities and how we are organized. We'd be pleased to give you a tour. Large equipment enables us to do cost-efficient production runs. Tools are neatly arranged and well maintained. Cleanliness and order are standard practice. Seeing is believing.
