Georgetown kitchens are rarely rectangles. The rowhouses along O, P, N, and Q Streets were built between 1810 and 1880 — load-bearing walls land where you do not want them, ceilings step down through additions, and the kitchen usually occupies what was once a back parlor or a converted carriage entry. Pannello has drawn cabinet runs for Georgetown rowhouses across every pattern of these constraints. We know the 7-foot-3 soffit that runs along the back wall, the chimney chase that bisects the room, the load wall that will not move.
Pannello cabinetry arrives in flat panels and assembles on site — which is exactly why it works in Georgetown. A rowhouse stair turn that prevents most American face-frame cabinets (which arrive fully assembled) from reaching the kitchen is not a problem for a Pannello installation. We measure the stair turn during the field measure and size panels to clear it during design, not during delivery.
Brick chimney chases that run through the kitchen get wrapped in matching cabinet finish — the chase reads as a deliberate architectural column, not an obstruction. Stepped soffits from old HVAC retrofits get drawn to rather than fought against. Blum and Salice hardware, 18mm carcass, full finish library. 3 to 5 week fabrication from final sign-off.

Georgetown questions
Common questions about Kitchen Cabinets in Georgetown.
Will Pannello cabinet panels fit through a narrow Georgetown rowhouse stair?
Yes — Pannello cabinetry ships in flat panels and assembles on site. We measure the stair turn during the field measure and size panels to clear it during the design phase. American face-frame cabinets, which arrive fully assembled, frequently cannot make the same turn.
Can you design around the brick chimney chase that runs through our Georgetown kitchen?
Yes — almost every Georgetown kitchen Pannello draws has a chimney chase to work around. We panel around it in matching finish so the chase reads as a designed column rather than as an obstruction. The panel treatment is drawn in elevation and approved before fabrication.
Do I need Old Georgetown Board approval for interior kitchen cabinets?
No — the Old Georgetown Board reviews exterior changes only. Interior cabinetry, finishes, and layout changes are unrestricted. If your project includes any rear-facade modification, windows, or exterior cladding, those elements would require OGB review on a separate track.
