Riverside Residence
The Challenge
The clients wanted modern function—without sacrificing a sense of calm, timeless design.
In the kitchen, the goal was to seamlessly integrate appliances while maintaining a serene, furniture-like presence.
In the bedrooms, they requested closet cabinetry that felt like beautiful, standalone furniture but functioned like full walk-ins.
The Solution
We designed and built a full millwork package including a kitchen with fully integrated appliances, hidden coffee station, and soft integrated pulls.
In the primary bedrooms, we created open-faced white oak wardrobes with cane-paneled doors—blending organic texture with refined detailing.
Lighting and material cohesion were carried throughout.
