Custom cabinets in Beverly Hills & Bel Air

Estates, with a design team behind them

Few projects in Beverly Hills or Bel Air start with a homeowner and a cabinet catalog. Most start with drawings. An architect sets the bones, an interior designer specifies veneers, finishes and hardware, and a general contractor runs the schedule. The cabinet maker’s job is to turn that specification into finished rooms without losing detail along the way.

How we work with design teams. We start from the architectural elevations and the designer’s specification, then produce shop drawings showing construction, reveals, panel layouts and hardware locations. Those go back for review before anything is cut. Finish samples come next, so the team approves color and grain on real material. Because every box, door and panel is made in our own factory, the details in the drawing are the ones that get built.

Old estates and new builds

The two cities hold very different houses, sometimes on the same street.

• Period houses. The Beverly Hills Flats and East Gate Bel Air have many estates from the 1920s through the postwar years, in Spanish, Tudor, Georgian and Mediterranean styles. Cabinetry there should look like it came with the house: inset doors, period moldings and paneling that matches the existing millwork.
• Hillside modern. Trousdale Estates is known for its mid-century homes on view lots, and new contemporary builds now appear across both cities. These call for slab doors, long horizontal runs, flush paneling and handle-less fronts.
• Remodel versus ground-up. A remodel inside a period house needs us to work around existing plaster, floors and trim. A new build lets us plan cabinetry with the framing.

Rooms that make an estate work

Entertaining kitchens. The main kitchen is often a display room with a large island, panel-ready appliances and a pro range wall. Where the house hosts events, a catering kitchen sits behind it with its own sinks, dishwashers and storage, so caterers can work without crowding guests.

Dressing rooms. Primary suites here often have dressing rooms rather than closets: a center island with drawers, lit glass display for handbags and shoes, and separate zones for each person.

Libraries and studies. Full wood-paneled rooms with bookcases, ladders, hidden doors and integrated lighting, built and finished as a single piece of joinery.

Bars and wine rooms. Bar cabinetry near living and pool areas, plus wine storage sized to the collection.

Staff and service areas. Larger estates often need storage beyond the main rooms: a butler’s pantry between kitchen and dining room, linen and china storage, and back-of-house rooms that get the same build quality as the rooms guests see.
