Case Study: Custom Cabinetry for Four Multi-Level Homes in Norman Park, Queensland
Fine Design Furniture Australia was engaged to custom build and install all cabinetry throughout a new set of four architecturally designed, multi-level homes in Norman Park, Queensland. The project required a high level of craftsmanship, coordination, and material expertise to meet the builder’s vision for a cohesive, premium finish across all residences. With a focus on durability, aesthetics, and functional design, Fine Design Furniture Australia delivered a comprehensive cabinetry solution that elevated the style and livability of each home.
The builder’s goal was to create four contemporary homes that felt individually tailored while still presenting a unified design language. Given the multi-level layout, each residence required extensive cabinetry across kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, wardrobes, living areas, and storage zones. Material selection was a priority, with the builder choosing Briggs Veneer in Rustic Oak to introduce natural warmth and texture, paired with Laminex AbsoluteMatte to provide clean, modern surfaces with a luxurious, low-sheen finish.
Fine Design Furniture Australia was brought in early in the construction phase to collaborate closely with the builder, refine cabinetry concepts, and ensure all elements were seamlessly integrated into the architectural plans.
From the outset, the project was built on open communication and a clear understanding of the builder’s objectives. Fine Design Furniture Australia worked collaboratively to develop cabinetry solutions that complemented the interior design palette, optimised storage, and responded to the varying spatial requirements across the four homes.
Workshops were conducted with the builder to finalise material pairings, hardware specifications, and design features such as curved elements, shadow lines, and integrated handles. Site measurements were conducted multiple times throughout the build to ensure millimetre accuracy as framing, plastering, and services installation progressed. This allowed the cabinetry to be manufactured in perfect alignment with real-world conditions, avoiding installation delays and ensuring a flawless final fit.
Two primary materials underpinned the cabinetry across all four homes:
This veneer brought a natural grain and warm tone that helped to soften the contemporary architecture. Briggs Veneer Rustic Oak was used across kitchen islands, living room wall units, bathroom vanities, and full-height storage features. Its stability and quality made it ideal for custom-built pieces requiring precision and consistency.
Selected for its modern, low-reflection finish and soft-touch feel, Laminex AbsoluteMatte boards provided a clean, understated backdrop to the homes' interiors. It was used for cabinetry doors, panels, and drawer fronts in high-use areas, delivering a durable, fingerprint-resistant solution that aligned with the project’s desired aesthetic.
During fabrication, the Fine Design Furniture Australia team employed advanced CNC machining to achieve tight tolerances, smooth curved applications, and consistent edge profiles. Hand-finished details ensured each piece maintained the artisan quality the company is known for.
Installing custom cabinetry across four multi-level homes required careful sequencing and coordination with the builder and other trades. Fine Design Furniture Australia scheduled staged installations to align with flooring, electrical, plumbing, and painting timelines.
Key installation areas included:
The team ensured all cabinetry was installed with perfect alignment, smooth functionality, and an uncompromising level of detail.
The final result was a cohesive, high-quality cabinetry package that enriched the overall architectural style of the four Norman Park residences. The combination of Rustic Oak veneer and AbsoluteMatte surfaces created a timeless, modern aesthetic that felt warm, refined, and deliberately tailored to each home.
The builder praised Fine Design Furniture Australia for their reliability, craftsmanship, and collaborative approach, noting that the cabinetry played a major role in achieving the premium quality and market appeal of the finished development.
Through close collaboration, premium materials, and meticulous craftsmanship, Fine Design Furniture Australia delivered an exceptional cabinetry outcome for this multi-home development in Norman Park.
