The BUILD Case Study House was recently completed and, inside, it’s an excellent example of our Special Projects Division cabinet packages. Today’s post is a full break-down of the design and detailing of the cabinets — all with technical callouts and specs. Enjoy.

KITCHEN
This particular kitchen is a case study in and of itself. It uses many types of the cabinet hardware available from Blum. At a recent open house, Blum brought in their age explorer suit for a full demonstration of the hardware options. You can read more about it here.

We also want to extend a huge thanks to the following folks for their top-notch work in bringing this project together:

Aaron Freedman at Metropolitan Appliance, Luc Boileau at Herzog Glass for supplying the mirrors and shower glass, Damir Galesic at Neric Pro Build for all the tile and countertops, Jason Webber of JW Woodwork for the millwork and cabinet installation.

The years of research and development by Special Projects Division, and team of committed craftspeople, has culminated in the highest-performing, most durable and most timeless cabinet package we’ve created in our 13 years of residential projects.  We look forward to experiencing the benefits in the upcoming years of use and family events.

That’s the scoop on the full SPD cabinet package of the BUILD Case Study House.
