When it came to the kitchen, they asked for an easy-to-maintain design with simple, clean lines. Sachin (desginer) helped them to pick out the silver and grey acrylic finish, with pops of yellow for the cabinets. To maximise on the storage, they went for cabinets all the way up to the ceiling. The kitchen really meets their expectations both functionally and aesthetically.

Our clients came to us wanting to update and open up their kitchen, breakfast nook, wet bar, and den. They wanted a cleaner look without clutter but didn’t want to go with an all-white kitchen, fearing it’s too trendy. Their kitchen was not utilized well and was not aesthetically appealing; it was very ornate and dark. The cooktop was too far back in the kitchen towards the butler’s pantry, making it awkward when cooking, so they knew they wanted that moved. The rest was left up to our designer to overcome these obstacles and give them their dream kitchen. We gutted the kitchen cabinets, including the built-in china cabinet and all finishes. The pony wall that once separated the kitchen from the den (and also housed the sink, dishwasher, and ice maker) was removed, and those appliances were relocated to the new large island, which had a ton of storage and a 15” overhang for bar seating. Beautiful aged brass Quebec 6-light pendants were hung above the island. All cabinets were replaced and drawers were designed to maximize storage. The Eclipse “Greensboro” cabinetry was painted gray with satin brass Emtek Mod Hex “Urban Modern” pulls. A large banquet seating area was added where the stand-alone kitchen table once sat. The main wall was covered with 20x20 white Golwoo tile. The backsplash in the kitchen and the banquette accent tile was a contemporary coordinating Tempesta Neve polished Wheaton mosaic marble. In the wet bar, they wanted to completely gut and replace everything! The overhang was useless and it was closed off with a large bar that they wanted to be opened up, so we leveled out the ceilings and filled in the original doorway into the bar in order for the flow into the kitchen and living room more natural. We gutted all cabinets, plumbing, appliances, light fixtures, and the pass-through pony wall. A beautiful backsplash was installed using Nova Hex Graphite ceramic mosaic 5x5 tile. A 15” overhang was added at the counter for bar seating. In the den, they hated the brick fireplace and wanted a less rustic look. The original mantel was very bulky and dark, whereas they preferred a more rectangular firebox opening, if possible. We removed the fireplace and surrounding hearth, brick, and trim, as well as the built-in cabinets. The new fireplace was flush with the wall and surrounded with Tempesta Neve Polished Marble 8x20 installed in a Herringbone pattern. The TV was hung above the fireplace and floating shelves were added to the surrounding walls for photographs and artwork. They wanted to completely gut and replace everything in the powder bath, so we started by adding blocking in the wall for the new floating cabinet and a white vessel sink. Black Boardwalk Charcoal Hex Porcelain mosaic 2x2 tile was used on the bathroom floor; coordinating with a contemporary “Cleopatra Silver Amalfi” black glass 2x4 mosaic wall tile. Two Schoolhouse Electric “Isaac” short arm brass sconces were added above the aged brass metal framed hexagon mirror. The countertops used in here, as well as the kitchen and bar, were Elements quartz “White Lightning.” We refinished all existing wood floors downstairs with hand scraped with the grain. Our clients absolutely love their new space with its ease of organization and functionality.

This gorgeous European Poggenpohl Kitchen is the culinary center of this new modern home for a young urban family. The homeowners had an extensive list of objectives for their new kitchen. It needed to accommodate formal and non-formal entertaining of guests and family, intentional storage for a variety of items with specific requirements, and use durable and easy to maintain products while achieving a sleek contemporary look that would be a stage and backdrop for their glorious artwork collection. Solution: A large central island acts as a gathering place within the great room space. The tall cabinetry items such as the ovens and refrigeration are grouped on the wall to keep the rest of the kitchen very light and open. Luxury Poggenpohl cabinetry and Caesarstone countertops were selected for their supreme durability and easy maintenance. Warm European oak flooring is contrasted by the gray textured Poggenpohl cabinetry flattered by full width linear Poggenphol hardware. The tall aluminum toe kick on the island is lit from underneath to give it a light and airy luxurious feeling. To further accent the illuminated toe, the surface to the left of the range top is fully suspended 18” above the finished floor. A large amount of steel and engineering work was needed to achieve the floating of the large Poggenpohl cabinet at the end of the peninsula. The conversation is always, “how did they do that?” Photo Credit: Fred Donham of PhotographerLink

La zona della cucina - pranzo è diventata il fulcro intorno al quale gravita la vita della casa. La cucina è stata interamente disegnata su misura, realizzata in ferro e legno con top in peperino grigio. Il taglio verticale e la scanalatura della parete verso la scala riprendono la forma strombata di una bucatura esistente che incornicia la vista su Piazza Venezia.

Neubau / Einfamilienhaus / Landkreis Rosenheim / PROJEKT J.S.K.T. Nach intensiver Vorbereitungszeit und variantenreicher Entwurfsphase entstand dieses architektonische Einfamilienhaus am Ortsrand in Thansau der Gemeinde Rohrdorf. Wunsch des Bauherrn war eine kubische Flachdachvilla mit Vor- und Rücksprüngen, die für Dynamik und Maßstabslosigkeit sorgen. Wir begrüßten diese Haltung und sorgten dafür, dass diese Elemente auch eine Funktion erhielten. Die Herausforderung war, die Wünsche des Bauherrn, den vorgegebenen Budgetrahmen, die Architektur sowie den konventionellen Bebauungsplan für ein oberbayerisches allgemeines Wohngebiet (WA) in Einklang zu bringen. Das Ergebnis zeigt, dass traditionell gestaltete B-Pläne durchaus Möglichkeiten für gute Architektur bieten. Aus dem gewünschten Flachdach wurde baurechtlich motiviert ein gleichschenkeliges Satteldach, das im Innenraum durchaus Vorzüge bietet (z.B. eine Schlafgalerie im Kinderzimmer im Dachspitz, sowie mehr Luftraum in den restlichen Obergeschoss-Räumen). Formgebende Vorsprünge wurden in einem ortstypischen Vordachmaß realisiert. Diese Vorsprünge dienen neben der Skulpturenbildung als Vordächer, Regen- und Sonnenschutz sowie als eine Art Pergola für die großzügige West-Terrasse. Diese Maßnahme vergrößert das räumliche Empfinden im Innenraum. Unterstützt wird dieser Eindruck auch durch das „Ineinanderübergehen“ des Wohnbereichs mit der Terrasse. Die Grenzen von Innen und Außen verschwinden – Außen ist Innen und Innen ist Außen. Um den skulpturalen Eindruck zu verstärken zeigt sich das Gebäude mit einem kontrastreichen, zweifärbigen Farbanstrich. Der architektonische Fassadenanspruch setzt sich im Inneren fort. Eine auskragende Stahl-Faltwerk-Treppe verbindet Skulptur und Funktion, sowie die Geschosse. Multifunktionsmöbel ersetzen Raumtrennwände. Der Küche-, Ess- und Terrassenbereich zeigt sich gemütlich, aufgeräumt und detaildurchdacht und lässt viel Platz für Persönliches. Der tiefer liegende Wohnbereich erinnert an eine Art Koje und eignet sich bestens als Rückzugsort zum Wohlfühlen. Das Obergeschoss strukturiert sich in einen Eltern- und einen Kinderbereich. Die Fassadenöffnungen leiten sich funktional ab. Richtung Nachbarbebauung sind die Öffnungen äußerst dosiert eingesetzt. Richtung Süden und Westen offenbart das Grundstück sein Potential – nämlich den unverbaubaren Bergblick. Was für unsere Architektur bedeutete, das Gebäude Richtung Bergblick maximal zu öffnen und somit die Natur mit dem Wohnraum zu verweben. Um die gestalterischen und funktionalen Ansprüche auch in Hinblick auf das Budget realisieren zu können, wählten wir für die Konstruktion eine Holz-Massiv-Bauweise. Diese spart Konstruktionsflächen und erhöht somit die Wohnfläche – höhere Spannweiten werden bei geringem Konstruktionsvolumen erreicht. Außerdem erlaubt diese – im Gegensatz zur Massivbauweise mit Ziegel und Stahlbeton – Bauteile von innen nach außen zu führen und geht mit einem geringen Dämm- und Abdichtungsaufwand einher. Des Weiteren bietet diese Konstruktionsart einen erhöhten Wärmeschutz bei nur geringen Schalleinbußen sowie eine schnellere Rohbauerstellung (durch Verbauen von vorgefertigten Elementen), kürzere Austrocknungszeiten und dadurch eine kürzere Bauzeit. Bei diesem Bauprojekt verkürzte sich die Bauzeit im Vergleich zur Ziegel-Massiv-Bauweise um ca. 3 Monate. Nicht zuletzt konnten wir durch die Holz-Massiv-Bauweise die Geschossdeckenstärke kompakter halten und erzielten somit höhere Wohnräume. Architektonisch hervorzuheben ist bei der Holz-Massiv-Bauweise außerdem, dass durch die innenseitige Trockenbauverkleidung bereits mit dem Rohbau sämtliche Wände eben und glatt sind. Mittels einer Q3-Spachtelung entsteht eine äußerst hochwertige Endoberfläche die im Vergleich zu einem Ziegelhaus mit gespachtelter Endoberfläche nur einen Bruchteil kostet. Bei einem Haus mit innenarchitektonischem Anspruch hat ein toleranzenger Rohbau Priorität. Jedes Anschlussgewerk kann nur so toleranzgetreu arbeiten wie das Vorgewerk es zulässt (z.B. beim Einbau von Blockzargen mit Schattenfugen, sockelloser Fußbodenanschluss etc.).

Contemporary German Kitchen in Horsham, West Sussex A rethink of this Horsham kitchen helped create a new functional island space, new kitchen entrance and matching utility. The Brief This client sought to make changes to their previous kitchen involving a rethink of their kitchen island, in addition to an all-round modernisation. From early project conversations it was clear that well organised storage was key, as well as including plenty of worktop space. As part of the project, creating a new doorway into the kitchen was also required, as well as an in keeping renovation of a utility space. Design Elements Designer Alistair has utilised a layout not dissimilar from the previous kitchen, instead replacing stand-alone island with a peninsula island space connected to the kitchen. This minor layout change helped to incorporate the vast worktop space this client required, as well as the social island area that the client desired. A subtle two-tone theme was another wish of the client, with glossy handleless finishes Satin Grey and Slate Grey contributing to the contemporary aesthetic of this space. The design is accompanied by plenty of lighting options to add a further modern feel, including undercabinet downlights, ceiling downlights and plinth lighting. Behind the hob a glass splashback has been included which has been chosen in a black shimmer finish, complimenting the overall design as well as the white quartz work surfaces, named Snowy Ibiza. Special Inclusions The client was keen to keep the kitchen area feeling light and spacious, and so another key part of the design was the use of full-height cabinetry to house the majority of appliances. Here a number of Neff appliances feature, including a Slide & Hide oven, combination oven, warming drawer, refrigerator and freezer which have both been integrated behind furniture. A Neff hob has been placed just to the side, above which a built-in Neff extractor is integrated to remove any cooking odours. Opposite, a Quooker boiling water tap has been installed above a Blanco quartz composed sink which ties in nicely with the chosen work surface. Looking towards the utility area, sideboard style furniture has been included as a space to store small appliances that are used daily, as well as cupboard space for added extra storage. Here you can also see the new doorway into the kitchen, which leads from the hallway of this property. Project Highlight A matching utility upgrade was a key part of this project, and designer Alistair was tasked with integrating extra storage, laundry appliances, plus a small sink area. This area makes use of Satin Grey furniture and a laminate work surface option. Beneath the work surface you might also spot a bed area for this client’s pooch. The End Result For this project designer Alistair has created a clever design to achieve all the elements of this project brief, including an important island change and a matching utility. With this project involving a full kitchen and utility renovation, flooring improvement throughout and even building work for a new doorway; this project highlights the amazing results that can be achieved utilising our complete design and installation service.

This brownstone, located in Harlem, consists of five stories which had been duplexed to create a two story rental unit and a 3 story home for the owners. The owner hired us to do a modern renovation of their home and rear garden. The garden was under utilized, barely visible from the interior and could only be accessed via a small steel stair at the rear of the second floor. We enlarged the owner’s home to include the rear third of the floor below which had walk out access to the garden. The additional square footage became a new family room connected to the living room and kitchen on the floor above via a double height space and a new sculptural stair. The rear facade was completely restructured to allow us to install a wall to wall two story window and door system within the new double height space creating a connection not only between the two floors but with the outside. The garden itself was terraced into two levels, the bottom level of which is directly accessed from the new family room space, the upper level accessed via a few stone clad steps. The upper level of the garden features a playful interplay of stone pavers with wood decking adjacent to a large seating area and a new planting bed. Wet bar cabinetry at the family room level is mirrored by an outside cabinetry/grill configuration as another way to visually tie inside to out. The second floor features the dining room, kitchen and living room in a large open space. Wall to wall builtins from the front to the rear transition from storage to dining display to kitchen; ending at an open shelf display with a fireplace feature in the base. The third floor serves as the children’s floor with two bedrooms and two ensuite baths. The fourth floor is a master suite with a large bedroom and a large bathroom bridged by a walnut clad hall that conceals a closet system and features a built in desk. The master bath consists of a tiled partition wall dividing the space to create a large walkthrough shower for two on one side and showcasing a free standing tub on the other. The house is full of custom modern details such as the recessed, lit handrail at the house’s main stair, floor to ceiling glass partitions separating the halls from the stairs and a whimsical builtin bench in the entry.
