For this grand Swedish residence, we manufactured a complete bespoke kitchen system designed to match the estate's historic scale. The design called for monumental, veneered MDF frame fronts, beautifully grounded by a dual-material approach: natural stone and warm oak countertops.

Mixing stone, solid wood, and veneered panels requires absolute precision to keep the aesthetic clean and the architectural lines uninterrupted. We don't leave those connections to chance on the job site. Every cabinet reveal and material transition is dialed-in off-site in our European studio.

Solid oak drawers. Integrated J-pull handles. Hard wax oil finish.

A closer look at the dialed-in details of a bespoke closet we recently engineered for a Stockholm apartment. No visible hardware, just pure European frameless casework, tactile natural wood.

Dialed-in details make the design. European Precision. American Luxury. We are bringing our bespoke architectural millwork studio to the Chicago area in 2027. If you design without compromise, follow our journey.

For this European build, we were brought in specifically to engineer and manufacture the exterior layer—the bespoke lacquered fronts and the complex architectural crown molding. Integrating our components perfectly with another shop's frameless cabinetry requires strict zero-tolerance engineering.

The heavy crown molding had to tie into the ceiling details flawlessly. If the measurements are off, you're looking at days of on-site patching, sanding, and touch-up painting that never quite matches the factory finish. We don't do on-site touch-ups. We dial in the exact dimensions off-site so that our lacquered elements arrive ready to install. Perfect fit, zero guesswork.

Integrating modern European frameless casework with historic, uneven brick is usually a trim carpenter’s nightmare. Not when it’s engineered off-site.

For this Swedish apartment, we used Leica 3D scanning to capture every dip and curve of the original brick wall. That data fed directly into TopSolid CAD, allowing us to machine the illuminated oak shelf and the flat-panel base cabinets to absolute zero-tolerance before they ever reached the job site.

No endless on-site scribing. No masking gaps with thick caulk. The bespoke cabinetry arrives, it fits seamlessly against the raw architecture, and your project timeline stays intact.

Let’s talk about pocket doors. Every builder knows they are a nightmare if not engineered perfectly. 🚪⚙️

In this custom oak bar from our European portfolio, standard hinges weren't going to cut it. We needed the doors to completely disappear. We engineered this using premium European pocket door hardware (like the Hawa Concepta system). It allows these heavy, handleless oak panels to open with a push and slide seamlessly into the casework with zero sagging.

Inside? Integrated warm LED lighting and floating glass shelves to showcase the client's collection. Closed, it's a minimalist oak wall against exposed brick. Open, it's a fully functional home bar.

Chicago builders: Stop fighting with cheap pocket door tracks on site. In 2027, we’re bringing fully parameterized, zero-error cabinetry to the North Shore.

Engineered for real life. ⚙️

Recent install from our Poland studio featuring:
✔️ Anti-fingerprint soft-touch lacquer (zero smudges).
✔️ Integrated milled handles for a true flush profile.
✔️ Ultra-slim compact laminate tops with an undermount sink.

It looks simple, but executing clean lines like this takes serious TopSolid CAD engineering before production even starts.

Slab doors are unforgiving.

When you’re doing a traditional kitchen with face-frames, you can hide a lot of wall imperfections. But with a minimalist, handleless setup like this? There’s nowhere to hide. Every reveal has to be perfectly dialed in, or the whole wall looks off.

We recently engineered this high-contrast setup. The tall units are custom wood veneer, matched with a pristine white island. The best part? The countertop and sink are fabricated from seamless Solid Surface (Staron) for a completely uninterrupted flow.

It takes serious CAD engineering to make something this simple look this good on installation day.

Chicago builders—we’re bringing this European precision to your market in 2027. Let’s eliminate the on-site guesswork.

Black and white done right. ⬛⬜

Just finished engineering this high-contrast kitchen out of our Warsaw studio. We paired a classic farmhouse sink with crisp, frameless European cabinetry to keep the sightlines incredibly clean.

It’s a simple, timeless aesthetic, but getting those reveals perfectly even across the whole room requires serious TopSolid CAD engineering before a single board is cut.

This is the standard we're bringing to custom homes and historic rehabs in Chicago next year.
