Describe your project, what makes it unusual, and/or any outstanding characteristics.

Built from blueprint-matched rift-sawn white oak, this frameless cabinetry brings modern, clean lines to the space while maximizing storage and maintaining a streamlined aesthetic. Slab doors were chosen to provide subtle visual texture without distracting from the simplicity of the overall design. One of the hidden highlights of this kitchen is the fluted, radiused corner cabinet on the right—designed to look like a decorative detail but in reality opens as a fully functional cabinet. Brass accents and fluted crown moldings introduce an artistic layer to the design, while the custom radiused island anchors the room as a sculptural centerpiece for this lakefront home.
