Our Process
1 . Discover
We start with a conversation about your space, your vision and your budget, and give you an honest picture of what's achievable.
2. Design
We develop a detailed design plan around what we've discussed, covering materials, finishes and costs.
3. Craft
Our team fabricates your kitchen in-house, with close attention to every detail and joint.
4. Install
We agree on a build timeline and payment structure, then our team takes care of everything through to completion.
More than just a room, it's the part of a home that does the most living. We design each one around how you cook, gather, share and move through your day.
Allison Ave Kitchen, Design + Build, 2023Our work is bespoke by nature, but never precious. We take pride in collaborating with our clients to make their kitchen, their own. Our approach is less about reinvention, more about consideration. We take the design fundamentals, combine it with your unique tastes and desired outcomes, then compose it with care and intention.
