Whole house in walnut veneer, quartered.
Pictured only a few items, mostly the kitchen and how it flows to the bar, dining, library. Then a shot of the entertainment center and a guest bath.

Couple interesting features - The tambour doors are veneered and sit flush with the cabinet sides thanks to some ingenious routing by our craftsmen, the piece at the top of the tambour door was made from aluminum veneered to match, this kept the upper piece as thin as we could get it to minimize the gap you usually find there. The china cabinet has a mirrored back and has a seal all the way around as well as an astrigal between the pair of doors. The cabinetry throughout the house w/ the exception of the office and kitchen were hung off the walls. When the AV crew was hanging the TV there were 2 grown men standing on top of the entertainment center with a 200 pound TV. The wall flexed and the seams of the granite top cracked, but the cabinets held. Always prepare for the unexpected! It could have been much worse, but the cabinets are glued and screwed 8 ways to Sunday w/ 3/4" backs and heavy bracing inside the walls.
Everything was grain matched where continuous vertical lines were (even the tambour to the door above it). All wood was stained w/ an oil based penetrating stain to make it easiest to match door to door.
Thanks for looking,

Beautiful work. What you have accomplished has again proved simplicity is the essence of beauty, and from experience, much harder to achieve than it projects.
Yep, it's so hard to convince architects that minimalism is hard to do. "But everything is flat and lines up, that's easy enough" yeah, easy to draw, hard to pull off.
Thanks for the compliment.

Found this on a blind search for walnut cabinets--absolutely lovely! Wish you you working close to NYC!
Thanks for the kind words. I'll be in NYC for ICFF in May, I can do site measurements then. :)
Delivery can always be arranged.
