Brookland is one of the most architecturally consistent neighborhoods in DC: 1900s–1930s foursquares, bungalows, and Cape Cods with original floor plans largely intact. Pannello draws cabinetry for Brookland kitchens that respects the original architecture — period-appropriate proportions, built-in elements that look like they were always there, finishes drawn from the era. We do not turn 1920s floor plans into modern open-plans unless that is what the homeowner wants.
Brookland architecture
What we have learned drawing cabinetry for Brookland homes.
Typical home style
Foursquares, bungalows, and Cape Cods (1900–1935) with mostly original floor plans. Smaller kitchens (10×12 typical) toward the rear of the house.
Common challenges we design around
Original closed-plan kitchens that owners are deciding whether to open up or preserve. Plaster walls that complicate cabinet anchoring. Original built-in china hutches and pantries that homeowners want to integrate or replace.

Brookland FAQ
Questions specific to Brookland.
Can you design cabinets that look period-appropriate for a 1920s Brookland bungalow?
Yes — we draw a meaningful percentage of our cabinetry to look like it belongs to the era of the house. For Brookland bungalows, that often means inset shaker doors, exposed hinges, glass-front upper cabinets, and a separate butler pantry.
