This immaculate home along the river’s edge is a celebration of intentional design, custom cabinets, and elegant craftsmanship. Created in close collaboration with a design-savvy client, Riverside Home features beautifully integrated custom cabinets throughout—from a front-facing kitchen designed for gathering to a tucked-away second kitchen and expansive walkthrough pantry where the magic truly happens. This space includes additional food refrigeration, abundant storage, and premium cabinetry finishes for hardworking, behind-the-scenes functionality.

A laundry room with ceiling-height cabinets, a built-in sewing station, and a fully outfitted office with its own compact kitchen carry the cabinetry craftsmanship seamlessly throughout the home. Flat-cut walnut veneer with sequenced fronts adds flow and warmth to the front-facing kitchen, echoing the natural rhythm of the river just beyond.

Every room reflects Denca’s attention to detail—from chicklet cabinet door profiles and inset metal accents to mitered corners and thoughtfully placed open shelving. Benjamin Moore’s calming paint colours complement the cabinetry palette, creating rooms that feel both elegant and grounded. In the bathrooms, ceiling-height cabinets and open vanity shelving keep everyday items within easy reach while maintaining a refined look.

With premium Blum hardware, Berenson handles, and Denca’s signature precision manufacturing, Riverside Home showcases how expertly crafted custom cabinets can shape the beauty, efficiency, and feeling of home.

Kitchens and Pantry: Gather & Prep

The Riverside Home features not one, but two beautifully crafted kitchens. The expansive front-facing kitchen invites family and friends to gather with a statement island, walnut veneer, and waterfall edges. Just behind it, a second kitchen with an apron sink, extra food refrigeration, and a walkthrough pantry featuring floor-to-ceiling custom cabinets offers functionality for everyday prep and storage. These custom cabinets balance performance with beauty, delivering seamless integration and clean lines throughout.

Laundry Room: Chore Sanctuary

Ceiling-height cabinets, a built-in sewing station, and an apron sink ensure this space is as practical as it is beautiful. Every cabinet is crafted for efficiency, blending seamlessly with the overall design. This space showcases how custom cabinets can elevate even the most utility-driven areas.

Ensuite: Dream in Detail

The ensuite bathroom is a standout feature of Riverside Home—spacious, serene, and beautifully appointed. Custom cabinets stretch to the ceiling, creating a sense of height and elegance, while integrated shelving keeps essentials at hand without sacrificing design.

The Office: Focused and Flexible

The office features a full wall of custom cabinets as well as a basic kitchen, perfect for working or hosting. Thoughtful touches like a compact kitchen and smart storage maximize comfort and function.

Bathrooms: Polished and Practical

In a few of the many bathrooms in this prestigious home, custom vanity cabinets tastefully offer open shelving at the ends—ideal for storing tissue or towels with intention and style. Ceiling-height mirrors with inset lighting maintaining a refined aesthetic.

Key Features of the Project

This thoughtfully designed home features an expansive front-facing kitchen ideal for gathering, complete with flat-cut walnut veneer, sequenced fronts, and integrated open shelving in both the island and vanities. A secondary kitchen offers extra refrigeration, while a walkthrough pantry with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry adds generous storage. The laundry room includes a dedicated sewing station, and a compact kitchen in the office enhances functionality. Bathrooms are elevated with custom cabinets, open vanity shelving, and premium finishes—including a spacious ensuite with custom cabinetry and elegant details. Sleek cabinet door profiles, mitered corners, inset metal millwork, calming Benjamin Moore colours, and premium hardware from Blum and Berenson tie the space together with refined craftsmanship and seamless design.
