A Newport Beach primary closet brought to the ceiling, with full-height oak aligned to the existing sightlines.
Before
A primary closet that stopped eighteen inches short of the ceiling — the usual builder gap above the cabinets, collecting dust. The clients had lived with it for years without quite naming what felt unfinished.
After
Full-height oak was scribed to the actual ceiling plane, with reveals aligned to the door casing and hardware that disappears into the millwork. The footprint did not change. How the room reads did.
The longer account of this commission is in Before & After: Six Rooms, Reconsidered. We do not publish a project price, a duration specific to this house, or a client review beyond what that journal already quotes.
