Gentzkow Residence

buildllc — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 18:40:00 +0000

The Gentzkow residence cabinet package included a full kitchen along with two bathrooms. In the kitchen, a bank of large wall cabinets is balanced with a slimmer pantry system on the opposing wall. A generous cooking island sits between the wall banks and provides the new hub of the residence. All cabinets were made of stained quartersawn Mahogany using standard SPD continuous horizontal pulls along with fully-integrated hardwood vertical pulls. SPD worked closely with Peter Strang of Propellor Design Build who orchestrated project along with complimentary finishes including countertops and tile.

SPD was established to provide cost-effective, modern cabinets and furniture. SPD is capable of designing and building a full range of cabinetry including:
cabinet packages for the entire home or business,
kitchen and service area cabinets,
cabinets for individual or entire rooms,
and individual custom cabinets.

Our plywood veneer process allows us to fabricate custom veneers from a wide variety of wood species. SPD’s shop is also equipped with a full-service spray booth for all types of finishing needs. And, we provide on-site installation for each cabinet package we produce.

The SPD line of furniture is constantly evolving and currently includes chairs, benches, coffee tables and stand-alone cabinets. Each furniture piece is forward-thinking, elegant and achieves a practicality of modern living.

SPD is a subsidiary of its parent company, BUILD LLC, and the cabinet shop is well integrated with BUILD’s core capabilities in Architecural design, construction management and hands-on expertise. SPD draws from our combined wealth of experience in design, construction and wood working.

David Hentzel is the primary partner of SPD and runs our cabinet shop.
