Marble waterfalls, integrated wood dining, hidden appliances, and full-height flush millwork — what a Brooklyn-based custom kitchen studio designs for Manhattan townhouses, Brooklyn brownstones, and Hamptons getaways in 2026.
One dominant slab — Calacatta, Statuario, or Arabescato — book-matched across the island top and cascading down both ends. Patina accepted as part of the material.
Vertical reeding in rift-cut white oak or walnut on islands, tall pantries, and range walls. Adds texture without breaking the flush-front language.
A cantilevered walnut or oak table extending off the island, grain-matched to the island end panel. Seats 4–8 without a separate dining room.
No fillers, no reveals, no visible hardware. Cabinets run floor to ceiling with push-to-open or finger-pull edge detail.
Sub-Zero, Miele, Bosch, and Gaggenau behind matched veneer panels. Only the range, hood, and cooktop remain visible in the room.
Custom plaster or limewash hoods over the range replace stainless — sculptural, warm, and quiet against the stone.
Three signals: full-height flush millwork (no reveals, no visible hardware), integrated Sub-Zero/Wolf/Miele behind matching cabinet panels, and a single dominant stone — usually a book-matched marble or exotic quartzite waterfalling on the island. Everything else (lighting, backsplash, hood) is quiet so the material choices lead.
$180,000–$450,000+ all-in for a true high-end kitchen in NYC. Custom cabinetry alone runs $45,000–$120,000; exotic stone $18,000–$60,000; Sub-Zero/Wolf/Miele/Gaggenau appliance package $45,000–$120,000; the balance is trades, integrated lighting, and specialty finishes. Bushwick loft or Tribeca townhouse projects with dual islands and butler's pantries land at the top of that range.
Book-matched marble waterfall islands, integrated wood dining tables that cantilever off the island, hidden appliances (fridge and dishwasher behind matched veneer panels), fluted or reeded door fronts in walnut or rift-cut white oak, hand-troweled plaster range hoods, and warm brass or bronze hardware where hardware is visible at all.
Rift-cut white oak, quarter-sawn walnut, Shinnoki real wood veneers, hand-painted MDF in deep saturated colors (charcoal, forest green, oxblood), and fluted or reeded fronts. Tafisa and Egger's PerfectSense matte finishes stand in as budget-luxury alternatives that still look bespoke.
Book-matched Calacatta or Statuario marble on the island (accepting the patina it develops), leathered granite or honed quartzite for perimeter runs where staining is a concern, and Neolith or Dekton for outdoor terrace kitchens. Waterfall edges on at least one end of the island are standard.
Sub-Zero refrigerators, Miele or Bosch dishwashers, and Gaggenau warming drawers are designed to accept custom cabinet panels flush with the surrounding millwork. We build the panels in the same finish, grain-match veneer across the door, and use hidden hinges so the appliances disappear into the run. Only the range, hood, and cooktop remain visible.
Yes — Brooklyn Heights townhouses, Cobble Hill brownstones, Park Slope full-floor renovations, and Williamsburg penthouses are our home market. We also install throughout Manhattan (UES/UWS, Tribeca, Soho, West Village), Queens (LIC, Forest Hills, Astoria), and the Hamptons.
14–24 weeks from design lock to final punch-list. Design and finish selection take 4–6 weeks; cabinets are milled by our suppliers to spec over 8–10 weeks; stone templating and fabrication add 3–4 weeks; integrated appliance install and final trim take another 3–4 weeks. Board approval in a Manhattan co-op adds 4–8 weeks in parallel.
