Our Story
A studio built around the room
Hempston Home was founded on a stubborn belief: a kitchen worth building deserves to be drawn from scratch. Not sized from a catalog, not adapted from a stock box — drawn from the exact walls, ceilings, sightlines, and daily rituals of the home it's going into.
Cabinets are built in Halifax, Nova Scotia at our Bayne St shop. Toronto and the Long Beach area facility are studios and service bases, not manufacturing sites. Built in Canada. We install across Canada and the United States. One team still takes a project from concept to install, with laser-measured shop drawings and finishes sprayed or hand-rubbed.
We take on kitchens, bathrooms, butler's pantries, wet bars, mudrooms, media units, libraries, and any built-in millwork a house needs. Every project is 100% custom, so the pages of doors, colours, and construction styles on this site are examples — not menus. If you can draw it, we can build it.
How we work
The Hempston way
01
100% Custom, Never Modular
Every cabinet is drawn, cut, and built to the room. No stock boxes, no flat-pack — the design responds to your walls, ceilings, and how you actually live.
02
One Team, Start to Install
Designer, drafter, cabinetmaker, finisher, and installer all sit in one studio. Nothing gets lost in translation between a showroom and a factory floor.
03
Craft Over Speed
Dovetail drawers, mortise-and-tenon face frames, hand-sanded profiles, sprayed conversion varnish or Rubio Monocoat. The details are the work.
04
Coast-to-Coast Install
Studios in Halifax, Toronto, and the Long Beach area. Cabinets are built at the Bayne St shop in Halifax. We install across Canada and the United States.
Craftspeople
Every commission passes through six pairs of hands
Kitchen Designer
Plans layout, sightlines, storage, and material palette in a first-principles design brief.
Drafter
Turns the design into millimetre-accurate shop drawings — plans, elevations, sections.
Cabinetmaker
Cuts, joins, and assembles every box, face frame, door, and drawer in the workshop.
Finisher
Hand-sprays conversion varnish, lacquer, or hand-rubs Rubio Monocoat under studio lighting.
Project Lead
Coordinates with your builder, designer, and trades — one point of contact from start to punch list.
Installer
Sets, scribes, and reveals every cabinet on site. Inset construction lives and dies here.
Design collaborators
Trusted by the designers we build with
Our cabinetry appears in projects designed by 31 Westgate Design Studio, David Bourque, Sara McKeenan, and Hen House — among the interior designers and architects we regularly collaborate with across Nova Scotia, Ontario, and beyond.
