2019 Wood Diamond Award

BKI Woodworks (Boulder, CO)

We manufacture custom, frameless cabinets for every room in the home and for all types of commercial spaces.  The style of our projects span from modern to traditional and include a range of materials from solid wood, real wood veneer, acrylic, HD laminate, textured melamine and the latest manufactured veneers.  Many of our current projects, whether they are traditional or contemporary style, are mixing dark finished with light finishes and mixing materials such as, wood veneer with acrylic or textured laminates.  For each project, we try to work closely with the project architect and contractor to ensure we build accurately to their (and their client’s) design goals.  

Main Category:  Residential
Sub Category:  Kitchen - Frameless
Project Value: Over $25,000
​

Describe the project, what makes it unusual, and/or any outstanding characteristics.
For this project, we built frameless cabinets with full overlay doors and drawer fronts. Rift Sawn White Oak veneer and high gloss white acrylic for the doors and drawer fronts provide interest through the difference in textures. The dark finish on the Oak veneer is a custom-mixed "chocolate" lacquer to match the interior window frames. The custom-mixed light grey finish on the Oak veneer was chosen to create a mid-tone color to pull together and “bridge” the dark chocolate and the pure white of the gloss acrylic. Simple, streamlined cabinet pulls maintain the clean overall look and complement the other elements in the room such as the counter tops, lighting, furniture and tile. The success of the combination of materials and finishes met the homeowner’s goal of wanting an overall timeless and neutral palette that at the same time created interest through texture and color.
