Custom closets in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Greenwich is the next jurisdiction north of Westchester, and the work changes character. The estates in Mid-Country, on the streets running off Round Hill and Lake Avenue, sit on three to ten acres with floor plates of 10,000 to 25,000 sq ft. Belle Haven, the gated peninsula on Long Island Sound at the southern end of town, is on smaller lots but with similar program complexity. The projects are larger and the timelines are longer — often six months end to end — and an increasing share of them are new construction rather than renovation.

On a new-build Greenwich project we work alongside the architect and the construction manager from the framing stage, which is the right time to begin. Closet rough openings, mechanical chases, low-voltage runs for lighting and motion sensors, and the floor-to-ceiling heights are coordinated at framing rather than retrofitted at finish. We hold our drawings at the architect's drawing-set scale (typically 1:25 or 1:50) so they read as part of the construction documents, not as an after-the-fact addition. The closet finishes are then milled in the Bronx and shipped out for a six-to-eight-week installation window once the house is dried in.

Full-residence projects in Greenwich routinely include all twelve of our room categories. A typical project ledger reads: a primary dressing room with island, a secondary dressing room for the second household member, four children's rooms with adjustable rails, a working pantry, a butler's pantry, a wine room in the lower level, a study and library, a laundry, a mudroom, a four-car garage with slat-wall hanging, and a Murphy-bed guest room over the garage. The work is sequenced room by room over the install window and signed by the makers on the workshop wall.

Driveway delivery, gate-coded entry, no parking permit required. Connecticut projects are coordinated through a named project manager who is on site for the duration of the install. The Greenwich crew is the same crew that built the millwork in the Bronx — the install is signed by the maker. The drive from the workshop is thirty-eight minutes off-peak up I-95. We also coordinate with the architect and contractor on COI, deliveries, and sequencing.

Every project is milled at the Bronx workshop — a 14,000 sq ft workshop on the East River — and installed by the same crew that built it. We do not subcontract the install.
