How we approach Grosse Pointe projects.
We build kitchens here with inset custom cabinetry, substantial stone, and millwork profiles matched to the home's existing trim. In a Tudor or Georgian colonial, a big-box kitchen looks like a wrong note; the work has to be proportioned to the house.
These homes also demand real mechanical planning: plaster walls conceal decades of wiring vintages, and ranges and ovens need capacity the original service never anticipated. We sequence that work so the finished kitchen is as sound as it is beautiful.
Where original butler's pantries survive, we often restore rather than remove them, adding refrigeration and lighting while keeping the glass-front cabinets that make them special. It is the kind of decision that separates renovating a Grosse Pointe home from erasing one.
