Custom Kitchens in Toorak
Touchwood designs and builds custom kitchen joinery in Toorak — made-to-measure cabinetry for period mansions and contemporary houses, not a display kitchen. We work with architects, interior designers and owners from first measure through to installation. Toorak is home to some of Melbourne's most significant residential architecture, from Victorian and Edwardian mansions along St Georges Road to Interwar Old English and Georgian Revival estates and a strong line of contemporary architect-designed homes. Cabinetry for these houses has to hold its own against high ceilings, deep cornices, and rooms designed to be seen. We handcraft bespoke kitchens, butler's pantries, dressing rooms and libraries that respect a home's period detail while working for the way people live now, whether that means shadow-line joinery in a new build or hand-finished timber and traditional panelling in a restored heritage residence. We work closely with Toorak's architects and interior designers, matching timber species, finishes and proportions to a broader design scheme.
Cabinetry questions from Toorak clients
Do you make custom kitchens in Toorak?
Yes. We design and build custom kitchen joinery for Toorak homes — heritage mansions and contemporary houses — in our Springvale workshop, then install on site. Visits are by appointment; we are not a walk-in kitchen showroom. Kitchens are quoted after a consultation and measure.
Do you work with Toorak interior designers and architects?
Yes. A large share of our Toorak work comes through architects and interior designers, and we're comfortable working from detailed drawings and specifications. We can join a project at concept stage to advise on materials and construction, or come in later to build to an approved design.
Can you match cabinetry to a heritage Toorak home?
Yes. Matching joinery to a period home is central to what we do. We replicate traditional profiles, panelling and timber finishes for Victorian, Edwardian and Interwar residences, and can reproduce or restore existing detailing so new cabinetry reads as original. We'll assess the home's period features during the first site visit.
How long does a custom kitchen take in Toorak?
Most bespoke kitchens move through several stages from approved design to installation, including design development, joinery fabrication and finishing. Heritage homes or complex multi-room projects can take longer. We confirm a schedule up front and coordinate with your builder or project manager to fit the broader program.
