Custom Millwork & Cabinetry in DUMBO
Kitchens, storage walls, aluminum & glass closets and display walls for DUMBO’s converted warehouse lofts, waterfront condominiums and creative offices, built a short drive away in our Industry City shop, here in Brooklyn.
DUMBO buildings
Built for DUMBO’s lofts and new buildings
DUMBO is a former manufacturing district between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, much of it now a historic district. Its old factory and warehouse buildings have been converted to lofts and offices, and newer condominiums line the waterfront.
Warehouse & factory lofts
Concrete and heavy-timber buildings with tall ceilings, large columns, exposed beams and big industrial windows. Open plans need storage that defines rooms: freestanding kitchen islands, room-dividing bookcases and wardrobes that stop short of a beam or wrap a column.
Waterfront condominiums
Newer buildings near Brooklyn Bridge Park, with long window walls and views of the bridges and Manhattan. Custom kitchens and glass closets replace the standard fit-out, and work follows the condo’s alteration rules and schedule.
Creative offices & studios
Tech, design and media offices on converted industrial floors, where aluminum glass walls, display shelving and reception-area millwork are built to the fit-out drawings and moved in around a working office.
Shops & showrooms
Ground-floor retail and showrooms on cobblestone streets, with wall displays and shelving that have to hold up to foot traffic and fit within the storefront’s footprint.

What we build
What we build for DUMBO lofts and offices
DUMBO’s industrial interiors suit all of our lines: millwork to bring warmth and storage to open lofts, aluminum & glass systems that sit naturally with steel windows and concrete, and fireplaces where a building has no flue.
Custom Millwork
Kitchen cabinetry and islands, room-dividing bookcases, media walls and full-height storage, built to shop drawings and detailed around columns, beams and loft ceilings.
Custom Millwork
Aluminum & Glass Systems
Aluminum-framed glass closets, cabinet doors, office glass walls and lit display shelving, built in our Brooklyn shop. Their slim frames fit the industrial character of a converted loft.
Aluminum & Glass Systems
Indoor Fireplace Systems
Planika bioethanol fireplaces need no chimney or gas line, so one can go in a loft or condo with no flue. Room size, air circulation and clearance requirements vary by model.
Fireplace SystemsAluminum & glass systems: cabinet doors, modular closets, wall displays and glass shelves.
Planning
Planning millwork in a DUMBO building
- Condo and co-op alteration agreements, and board approval of drawings
- Freight elevator size, loading dock times and delivery on narrow cobblestone streets
- Column, beam and ceiling-height survey in converted lofts before shop drawings
- Permitted work hours, and moving in around a working office or a busy weekend street

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How close is your shop to DUMBO?
Our shop is at 4014 1st Ave in Industry City, Sunset Park, in the same borough. Pieces are built there and delivered by truck on a scheduled day.
Can you build around columns and beams in a converted loft?
Yes. We survey the column, beam and ceiling positions with the final measurements, and the shop drawings show how each piece fits around them before anything is made.
How do large pieces get into a DUMBO building?
Pieces are sized to the freight elevator, doorways and turns on the way in, and delivery is booked within the building’s loading times. Narrow cobblestone streets and weekend crowds are factored into the delivery plan.
Do you build glass walls and displays for DUMBO offices?
Yes. Aluminum glass walls, display shelving and office millwork can be built to your fit-out drawings and schedule.
