FE ATURE
The two upper cabinets in the kitchen were pricey
because of how they were built, the wood on the
exterior and on the interior, the lift-up servo-drive
mechanisms, the glass doors and the integrated
lighting. Bustamante said it was necessary to incorporate
these specialty cabinets because of the
luxury bespoke approach to the home and to complement
the statement appliances and create an
elegant feature wall in the kitchen.
" Any time you work with something so customized
and with so many different integrated components
integrated, it is no longer your typical cabinet, " he
added. " Each feature incorporated adds up. "
Designing a Healthy Home
Bustamante and his designer incorporate sustainability
into all of their projects; being California
based, this is a given. They specify materials that
are responsibly sourced and certifi ed and choose
sustainable offerings whenever possible.
" We aim to create something that will last a long
time, " he said. " Usually, a poor-quality project results
in a large carbon footprint because things need to
be torn out and replaced sooner. "
LEFT Next to the shower
is a taller cabinet unit in
black and wood tones
with lighted shelves,
which breaks up the
space.
ABOVE The design team
pulled from the colors of
real wood when choosing
the laminate cabinets; the
material will not shrink in
the climate. They chose
easy-to access drawers
for the his-and-hers
vanity, which features
clean lines. The upper
drawers also feature
internal drawers for
shallow storage. The
faucets are in a brushedbrass
fi nish with knurled
detail.

Solutions to Challenges
& Lessons Learned
In this project, the design team had to navigate some
inclement weather, as it took a few years to complete.
They knew they were going to hit at least one
winter cycle, so they planned ahead. The job was
also farther away from their usual locations, but
the cabinet installer was able to travel to the site to
complete the cabinetry installation.
Bustamante says he and his team learn a new
lesson during every project, and one that resonates
with him is the need to be open and fl exible.
" I may have designed something that when I actually
see it, I don't like it, " he explained. " I give myself
an allowance to make changes and tweak the design
as we move along in a project. I really feel like that
creates a great fi nish line when you can give yourself
some licensing all the way to the end. "
Everyone loves the result - especially the new
buyer. Bustamante says this is a perfect example of
a great team effort.
" This level of project requires a large team - the
investors, builders, architects, trades, " he explained.
" We are all pulling ideas together and give each
other a lot of room to express ourselves. We trust
that everything we do will be complementary to the
project. "
