Custom cedar gate

This project took place in the High Park area of Toronto. The client wanted a custom cedar gate for the existing cedar pergola arch. CC & Sons worked with the client extensively during the design phase of the gate. They were very happy with the design and excited with the outcome.

Custom Entryway Cabinet

This was a custom entryway cabinet commissioned by a client in Toronto. My client previously used a makeshift clothes cabinet at the entryway to the home made of plywood. They liked the way it was used but the appearance had to align with the rest of the house. Everything about this piece was custom, including the finish which was applied by hand.

Before. Client had makeshift plywood coat cabinet in the entryway to the home. 

Detail of usage, which they liked. 

Piano on the other side of the cabinet.

Finishing in progress. It was very important for this large cabinet to be able to come apart easily so as to be able to get it in the client's house.
