Peter's approach is personal. He doesn't just measure a space — he listens. He asks about the appliances you’ll use, how you move through your kitchen, what you reach for every morning. His work isn’t about trends. It’s about you — how you live, what you value, and what will make your space work better for years to come.
Before founding his own studio, Peter spent decades honing his skills with Leutz Cabinets & Woodworking, a shop known throughout Michigan for quality, integrity, and lasting relationships. Now, with his own name on the door, he carries that same legacy forward — one project at a time.
Peter creates everything from scratch, drawing plans by hand, working directly with your blueprints, and staying on the leading edge of efficient hardware and thoughtful cabinetry design. His pieces can be simple or intricate, rustic or refined — but they’re always custom, always built to last, and always installed by Peter himself to ensure every detail is right.
If you're looking for work that fits your space and your life, you're in the right place. P. H. Behncke Design Studio is where craft meets conversation — and where your ideas take shape in wood.
