A twelve thousand square foot residence on a private drive in Upstate NY boasts some of Zeller WoodWorks' most ambitious work to date.  Projects include a sleek modern kitchen with Calacatta CeasarStone accents, and a shagreen coffee station, 16ft. "X" base dining table that seats 20, his & hers walk-in closets, his & hers home offices, 7 bathrooms and 2 bars!  The results speak for themselves!

The carerra marble countertop is the focal point of this bathroom vanity.  Our job was to develop a finish on flat-cut oak drawer fronts that complimented both the marble and the polished chrome pulls.  Beyond that our engineering team had to devise a way to make full use of all eight drawer spaces while also working around the plumbing that runs below the sink to the back wall.  Our solution was to construct wide vertical partitions that house the plumbing and allow the drawers to be hung on either side.  The front of the partitions are capped with removable front panels, allowing access to the pipes if they are ever in need of servicing.

This ottoman is four and a half feet square, with Ming style mahogany legs.  The removable serving tray has a diamond sketch face veneer pattern, with a matching bottom beneath the tray.  The upholstered top is tufted with premium tanned leather from a single hide.

The Geneva closet has a number of interesting design elements, starting with the three paneled dressing mirror at the back of the room.  The two side mirrors hinge outward to reveal hooks and storage space for belts, ties, and robes.  All the cabinetry around the room has interior lighting that turns on when the doors are opened, but can also be controlled by a switch on the wall.  The large center cabinets that crown to the ceiling have frosted glass panes, allowing the interior cabinetry lighting to glow from within.  The island in the center of the room contains drawers for storage, two laundry hampers, and a a refridgerator, all capped by a polished marble counter top with a profiled edge.

This is a modern take on the classic Louie XV furniture style.  We built two identical tables that were mounted to the foyer wall on either side of the staircase leading to the second floor of the residence.  Originally the tables were spec'd in carpathian elm veneer, but this was changed to walnut burl at the client's request and given a full filled high gloss finish to bring out the depth of character in the burl.

This console table was custom sized to fit behind a couch in the living room of the residence.  The top and drawer fronts are veneered in ribbon stripe sapele which waterfalls in a continuous line from one end to the other.  The sides and legs are solid sapele stained two shades darker than the top for contrast.  The whole piece is finished with polished brass sabots on the feet, polished brass rings at the top of the legs, and cast brass drawer pulls.

This kitchen was installed in a town home in downtown Rochester.  The doors and drawers all have J-pulls routed into the top and bottom edges, eliminating the need for pull hardware.  The drawers have been customized to fit the exact flatware owned by the client.  The finish is Iron Mountain grey on oak veneer, with V-grooves that run vertically accross the entire bank of cabinetry.  All doors and drawers use soft-close hinges and runner systems.  Stone countertops and carrera subway tile round out the look.

This small, quirky side table was a very satisfying challenge.  The piece begins with quartered walnut curves that form the cloud-like perimeter.  The curves are then capped with a walnut burl top panel.  The assembly is set atop a cast brass base and trimmed with a gold leaf bead detail around the top edge.  All these elements work in concert to deliver a big impact in a very small package.

This two-tiered coffee table is built from solid walnut, with stained maple legs.  The legs are tapered with a subtle profile that leads down to the custom milled solid brass feet.  The top of each leg is capped with solid brass as well.  The top frame surrounds a 3/4" beveled glass top, while the bottom frame houses a hand painted panel by local artist and craftsman, Rick Muto.  Rick spent weeks developing his technique for replicating leopard print pattern, then applied his technique, by hand, to the panel you see here.  His work is truly stunning and sets this piece apart from anything else around.  

This media cabinet is an excercise in clean lined minimalism.  The exterior frame is flat cut walnut in a natural, open grain, satin finish.  The casework is painted in a matte taupe color to match the room and utilizes touch latch opening hardware, eliminating the need for pulls to be mounted to the front of each door.  The cantilevered design adds dynamic visual interest without relying on extraneous detail.

This is one of two desks we did for the same client.  The both share the same details that make the design distinct.  The quartered walnut desk top is beveled at the front edge.  The linear grain of the top waterfalls over the edge and down to the floor at one end.  At the other, the top rests on a bronze leafed sphere, supporting it as it appears to hover over the full inset case of drawers.  The drawers are deep enough to accommodate hanging files, and mount on soft-close runner systems allowing for a smooth, quiet action.

A subtle, serene credenza with a bleached finish over ash veneer.  The piece is set off by silver leafed drawer fronts, with stainless steel feet and decorative pulls to match.  Doors and drawers are fitted with soft-close hardware.

A custom veneered book shelf spans the back wall of this residential office.  The wood is ash that has been bleached and stained to give it a whitewashed appearance.  The entire unit is set into the wall 9" but has a total depth of 12" from the front edge.  The base of the boockshelf is routed to accommodate air flow from the base board heating vent.

Full filled, high gloss automotive lacquer in a near white tone sets off this built-in office unit.  Full inset doors and drawer fronts, polished nickel pulls, and an inch and a half thick countertop make this piece truly custom.  Ventilation lines are routed into the kick to allow for heat exchange at the floor. 

At eleven feet long, this solid walnut sideboard is a commanding presence in the room.  The open ended shelves house woven baskets for storing linens and place settings.  The three drawers along the top provide a home for flatware and the cubbard doors offer ample storage for dishes and china.  Utilizing solid walnut ensures durability and showcases a wide variety of color, depth and character in the grain, something not easily achieved when using the more uniform walnut veneer.  The piece is finished with granite slabs which nestle tightly into the mitred frame top.

Our first project with the talented Chris Leighton and his eponimous Leighton Design Group, this credenza was commissioned for a client on Canandaigua Lake.  The notable features include a stylized live edge on the solid walnut arch, a steel reinforced 6-drawer oak case that is suspended underneath the arch, and knife edged drawer fronts to keep the lines of the design as clean as possible.  Custom finishes, pulls and soft-close runner systems round out the design.

This built in wine bar packs a lot into a very small space.  The reclaimed white oak solid wood shows off a tremendous amount of  flecking character throughout.  The hand turned pillars at each end frame three cabinet doors, two with wine refridgerators behind them and one for combination drawer and undercounter storage.  The upper portion of the bar features a drop-in granite top, three fillet hung drawers between two open wine glass storage units, and recessed lighting in the crowned soffit panel above. 

A "demi-lune" style vanity is an excellent design for a small powder room.  The footprint is kept to a minimum with the curving lines sweeping towards the back of the unit.  This particular piece was hand painted by local artist and craftsman, Rick Muto.  The finish evokes thoughts of marble or hammered steel while complimenting the surrounding decor with it's silvery neutral palette.

The design details and notable features of this bar are almost too numerous to mention.  Beginning with the fluted columns and the rim raised panels that grace the front of the bar, and moving to the pillow block doors that house not one, not two, but three full height wine refridgerators.  The appliances are capped by another rim raised soffit panel which in turn is crowned to the back wall.  The appliances are flanked on either side by glass storage shelves with mirrored backs.  Lastly, the bar top itself is a feat of engineering, at 5 inches thick with a compound profile and a custom marquetry inlay around the perimeter.

This master bathroom cabinet is interesting for it's arched top profile and oiled antiqued mirror accents.  The smaller cabinets on either side of the main cabinet are open to the sides for easy access to linens and towels.  The chair rail separates these from the lower storage units behind closed doors.  Three wide drawers mounted on soft close runners round out the functionality of the unit.  While technically a free-standing unit, the back of the cabinet is scribed to the wall to conceal electrical sockets mounted to thet interior of the main storage cabinet.

This credenza is notable for it's dramatically curving sides.  The finish contains a pearlescent metallic flake that reflects the light as if through a prism.  The nine drawers are full inset  and mounted on soft close runners.

This dual sink vanity maintains a strict simplicity with it's clean, straight lines and large fields of custom painted ash veneer.  The doors beneath each sink open with J-pulls routed into their vertical edges.  The drawers in between also have J-pulls along their top and bottom edges for ease of opening without cluttering the look.  The entire unit is suspended between between two walls, giving the vanity a floating look.

This vanity boasts a rich champagne colored opaque finish on stile and rail paneled doors and drawers.  The cabinet is inset and scribed between the walls for a fully custom look.
