Custom kitchen
As part of a renovation spearheaded by North Bay Construction, I had the opportunity to craft a completely bespoke kitchen for our 1906 San Francisco home. This project provided a unique opportunity to depart from my usual modern aesthetic and create a traditionally-styled kitchen that complements the home’s historical character. After designing 15 custom cabinets in CAD to optimize every inch of space, the components were precisely cut by Neal’s CNC.
Assembly took place in a rented South San Francisco warehouse, followed by crafting solid maple face frames and doors, dovetailing solid white oak drawers, and fabricating numerous floating shelves, dividers, and pull-out organizers. After transforming my garage into a temporary spray booth for finishing, I braved the wonk of century-old floors and walls to install everything myself. This six-month project was a rewarding endeavor, and we couldn’t be happier with the result.
