Balancing act Reclaimed wood beams and textural stone walls contrast sleek marble in this kitchen, creating a warm, inviting interior that’s ideal for entertaining

Natural, rustic materials have always conveyed a sense of welcome, warmth and comfort, and that still rings true today. In a move away from the pared-back, minimalist designs of the past decade, many homeowners are looking to integrate such elements in their own kitchens. Susan Rossie, president of the Chicagobased design company Susan Fredman Design Group, has embraced the move for the interior of her own ranch-style home, which dates back to the early ’70s. This has been extensively remodeled by her
own team, headed by architect and lead designer Terri Crittenden. Rossie says the renovation needed to open up the house to an attractive view at the rear. It also needed to integrate the formerly compartmentalized kitchen with the dining and family living rooms. “The existing layout meant the house was very dark and internally focused,” she says. “None of the rooms related to each other, and there was no connection to the outdoors.” In reconfiguring the interior, walls
were taken out and the laundry and powder rooms moved, creating a large, open living space. “We could also see an opportunity to extend up into the attic space to make the ceiling a little higher,” says Crittenden. “The ceiling above the kitchen is now defined by a row of wood beams that were reclaimed from an old barn in Pennsylvania. We have added LED lighting, so the ceiling just glows, by night and by day.” For visual consistency, the reclaimed wood also appears above the fireplaces
Preceding pages: Contrasting the rough with the smooth has given this remodeled ’70s ranch house a whole new character. The timber above the cooking center is a reclaimed wood beam from an old Pennsylvanian barn. In contrast to the wood and textural stone veneer, the backsplash is sleek Calacatta marble. These pages: Walls were removed to open up the interior, and the ceiling raised above the dining area. Additional reclaimed wood beams within the raised ceiling are uplit with LED lighting.

in the dining and family rooms, as well as above the hearth-style cooking center, and as a detail in the middle of the large island. The rustic touch is reinforced by a textural stone veneer that clads the walls by the cooking center and the fireplaces. “We wanted to introduce an organic element, but we didn’t want it to dominate,” says Crittenden. “So we teamed the wood and stone with a sleek marble backsplash and countertop on the island. It is all about balance – if everything is smooth, for example, you stop seeing the smooth.
14
When you put a textured element against it, you start to appreciate the difference.” Each slab of Calacatta marble, like the reclaimed beams, was handpicked, with slabs chosen for their distinctive veining. Visual balance was also created by teaming dark-stained island cabinets with lighter perimeter cabinets. The dark stain and the dark red oak flooring help to ground the space visually. Similar dark cabinets appear in the dining area, where they give a more formal look than would have been achieved with a lighter color.

Recessed panel doors with a bead detail ensure the cabinetry has an old-world charm, but with a contemporary spin. Functionality is assured, with ample storage provided within the kitchen and a separate pantry. The cabinets include an integrated coffee center and extra-large drawers for tall pots. Rossie, who loves to cook, says she is not only appreciating the improved functionality of her home, but also the transparency – the view can now be enjoyed from every room.

Chip off the old block This kitchen has been transformed to suit the needs of a modern chef, but subtle touches tie it back to the more traditional home Above and facing page: This renovated kitchen by Lynn Malone easily mixes the old and the new. Clean, crisp cabinets are juxtaposed against a well-worn butcher’s block. The copper pendant light provides another material contrast with the antique cutting table.

It’s wise to leave room for a Eureka moment when designing your kitchen makeover – a flash of brilliance can turn a good design into an exceptional one. When designer Lynn Malone was asked to replace a tired workspace with a pristine new kitchen, a discovered object steeped in history offered a focal feature and connecting element. The owner had several requests, in terms of both ergonomics and aesthetics, says Malone. “High on the list were modern appliances and cooking facilities that would be suitable for holding professional, at-home cooking classes.”

A larger island was wanted with seating for four and improved connection to the adjacent, informal dining area. The design also had to connect with the style of the home, says Malone. “In response, we introduced an oven wall with motor-operated cabinetry where the old range had been, and a double sink and counter under the window – any kitchen window with a view deserves a kitchen sink in front of it.” A new island with built-in cooktops, broad work surfaces and under-counter seating was added – but with a shift in orientation from the old island to improve spatial connections.

“In a flash of inspiration, I added an antique butcher’s block with a long work history,” says Malone. “This extended the domain of the kitchen into the informal dining area and added old-world charm to the contemporary kitchen.” However, the designer also tied the kitchen back to the house aesthetic in more direct ways. “Millwork and drawers have a routed groove that references the classic wall paneling and French doors found throughout the house “Glass-fronted upper cabinets that display the owner’s china collection of china, and an integrated French door-style refrigerator also
make connections to the French doors. This refrigerator accommodates large platters, another plus for the cooking classes.” The island is clad in a warm wood veneer that complements the original floorboards. “Finally, an existing utility kitchen behind the oven wall was updated to echo the main kitchen,” says Malone. “Old cabinets were replaced with slender, mirror-backed shelves, increasing the sense of space in this tight area.”
Facing page: The end of the island beside the oven wall features built-in drawers. The white wraparound stone countertop connects with the cabinetry, while the wood provides a more traditional dimension.

In character New stained glass and leadlight windows ensure this remodeled kitchen is both light filled and in keeping with the era of the historic Tudor Revival house

Space and light are the two essentials for a kitchen that you don’t want to compromise. But, as any owner of an older house can attest, they are often the very things missing. The existing kitchen in this Tudor Revival house, which dates back to the turn of the last century, was cramped, dark and outdated. Not surprisingly, extending the space was a priority for the new owners,
who undertook a whole-house renovation before moving in. Architect John I Meyer and interior designer Laura Brooks Meyer were commissioned to design the changes, which included building onto an older addition. “We needed to change the awkward, narrow shape of the kitchen, which was in a singlestory addition,” says Laura Brooks Meyer. “Extending the
kitchen gave us the extra space required, but we went up as well as out, raising the ceiling above the work area to create a lofty void.” Meyer says the extra height also allowed space for a large decorative window. “The owner had asked if we could incorporate stained glass into the design, and this window created the perfect opportunity.”
Above left: Pushing this kitchen out and up created a much more spacious, light-filled family living area, says interior designer Laura Brooks Meyer. The kitchen is in a century-old house once owned by Alexander Graham Bell’s daughter. Above and left: A secondary work area on the right side of the kitchen features walnut countertops. This doubles as a drinks area. Meyer also provided a home office area and a whiteboard for the family.

“We needed to screen the kitchen, as there is a public walkway beside the neighboring house. Incorporating stained glass and leadlights in the other windows helped to provide privacy.” White painted cabinets are teamed with a walnut island in the SieMatic kitchen specified by Rosemary Porto. Inset panel doors and the furniturestyle island are in keeping with

the traditional character of the house, which was once owned by the daughter of Alexander Graham Bell and the founder of the National Geographic Society. “We wanted to retain a sense of history, so opted for French Provincial overtones with a soft country feel,” says Meyer. “The cabinetry is an updated version of a classic look. But while the perimeter
cabinets have dark granite countertops, we chose a lighter quartz top for the island, which has a large surface area. And we curved the outer edge to provide a safe distance between the bar stools and cooktop. A downdraft takes care of the ventilation.” Meyer says the lighting was a challenge due to the height of the void. A cable and rail system with downlights
provided an ideal solution, as it doesn’t intrude on the space visually. Other special features of the kitchen include a secondary work area with a butler’s sink and wine refrigerator, and a separate walk-in pantry. There is also a whiteboard wall for family messages, a home office desk, and a space in the toekicks for an automated robotic vacuum cleaner.

Back to the future Traditional with a contemporary edge – this remodeled kitchen in a 100-year-old homestead is not a slave to tradition

Designing a new kitchen for a century-old house is all about respect – respect for both the architectural character of the property and the owners’ lifestyle. The existing kitchen in this 100-year-old homestead neither respected the era of the house nor the lifestyle of the owners, says designer Leanne Larking of Quattro Uno. “As well as being closed off from the rest of the house, the kitchen was dated and dark – there was very little natural light. The owners wanted a light, bright, spacious kitchen with a direct connection to the garden. They also
wanted a contemporary kitchen that would still retain some traditional elements.” Part of a major renovation of the whole house, the kitchen was enlarged by the removal of an internal wall. This created enough space for a long island set at right angles to new French doors to the garden. “Positioning the island this way ensures light filters through to the floor and countertops,” says Larking. “It also improves the circulation through the kitchen to the outdoors.” The designer says painted cabinetry with inset panels fits with the era of the house.

The kitchen, in a century-old house, complements the character of the architecture, but is designed for modern living.

“The overall design is quite contemporary, thanks to the symmetry of the cabinets, the depth of the countertops and all the stainless steel accents.” Larking specified stainless steel for the perimeter countertop, where it forms a practical surface either side of a new Ilve oven. There is also a stainless steel Katalog rail with hooks and shelving for kitchen accessories, and a stainless steel band along the bottom of the overhead cabinets. “This strong band of stainless steel was designed to lengthen the space visually, while

allowing the top cupboards to continue at the same height. It also ensures the ventilation and lighting are at a practical height. We wanted this to look like a working kitchen – the stainless steel accentuates this.” The cabinetry on the side wall conceals an integrated refrigerator and freezer.

Petite charms This modest yet efficient kitchen offers an easy-going, oceanside aesthetic
Preceding pages: Exposed rafters, rough-hewn paneling with off-white stain, and paneled cabinet doors all help this kitchen sit well in its Martha’s Vineyard cottage setting. Above: Interior designer Elizabeth Swartz has repurposed a rear mudroom as a walk-in pantry in the design, which makes the most of limited available space.

Effective design connections are as important in a small kitchen as in a larger one. Sightlines, color and form are just three ways to embrace the wider setting – this project employs them all. Designer Elizabeth Swartz says the owners were looking for a small yet spacious kitchen for their Martha’s Vineyard cottage. “A big priority was to give the kitchen a feel of lightness and relaxation. The clients pictured this as their own private escape and wanted the region’s beach sensibility to come through. “The kitchen’s modest volume was tricky to work with, having limited wall space due to
more kitchens at trendsideas.com/go/uskit
a plethora of windows. So we looked to other areas for storage, and an adjacent mudroom was converted into a back pantry. Here, we added the large refrigerator in what would otherwise have been a dead corner, and several full-height cabinets for out-of-the-way storage.” Swartz says the kitchen footprint was also a bit difficult because it was square in shape, but not large enough for an island. “It’s a walk-through space, which sees a lot of traffic, so we wanted to keep it open and easy to negotiate. To optimize the flow and strengthen links to the family room I chose a peninsula,
rather than an island. The cherry-topped counter hides clutter from the living areas and offers a serving station for the dining area. Of course, the low counter allows views right across the light-filled spaces in both directions. “We tucked a beverage cooler into the family room side of the peninsula – this is just beside the deck so a prime spot for extra cool drinks.” Cabinetry hues were inspired by the owners’ Scandinavian heritage and its traditional color scheme of white and blue. The designer says this palette also picks up on the natural tones of the beachside location – ocean blues, grays and
greens. The resulting cabinetry colors are Stone Blue and Eggshell. Beadboard paneling on the front of the peninsula is in keeping with classic-look Cape Cod architecture and the traditional wood paneling on the cabinetry is also appropriate. While simple cabinets and metal pulls sit well with typical Cape Cod and the Islands design, there are touches of modernity. The glass tile backsplash is in the original subway format, but in a smaller, more contemporary sizing. Blown-glass pendant lights work with the blue of the cabinets, but offer a modern sensibility.
Above: A bar top running along the peninsula shields mess from the living spaces. The countertops are in durable granite, but the cherry bar top provides a softer, furniture-like transition to the living spaces. Cork tile floors are in keeping with the style of the home and provide an easy-to-clean surface suitable for the sandy, seaside location.

‘Let there be light,’ the famous biblical creation command, also offers practical inspiration in terms of interior design – be it dreaming up a superior lighting plan or knocking down a wall of cabinetry that blocks out the sun. The existing ’50s galley-style kitchen in this 1880s house suffered from limited natural light and tight work triangles, says designer Gwyneth Hand. “To transform the space, a central bank of cabinets that had enclosed the room was removed. This opened up the kitchen to
the breakfast-sitting room. The perimeter cabinetry remained in the same position, but we added new paneled cabinet fronts. These are a nod to tradition, but also work with the more modern aesthetic requested by the owners. The classic door hardware is a link with the 1950s kitchen.” Hand introduced an island to replace the central cabinetry. This reintroduces some of the storage and utility lost with the removal of the cabinets. The new island, finished in a rich cherry wood, has an understated, furniture-like appeal, and
provides a graceful transition from the kitchen to social gathering place. Hand says the cherry wood also works well with the original, refinished hardwood floors that run right through the living spaces. “Antiqued mirrors on the outside of the island create a sense of additional space and also refract light coming in through the sitting room,” she says. “The mirrors and mullions build on the furniture-like feel. The mullions are repeated within the built-in cabinets in the far corners of the breakfast-sitting room,

helping draw these two spaces together. And while the island recouped some of the storage space lost from the removal of the old cabinets, even more storage was gained by the addition of two cabinets in the sitting room. These accommodate serving platters and glasses.” Integrating the refrigerator plays down the more functional aspect of the kitchen, Hand says. “Tall pull-out pantries alongside the refrigerator provide storage for spices and oils close to the cooking triangle.”

The warm gray-green of the perimeter cabinets and the muted, earthy tones of the glass and stone tile backsplash connect with the neutral hues seen in the sitting room. The color scheme is further enhanced by a durable quartzite countertop surface that echoes the tones of the masonry fireplace.

Dark horse This sleek kitchen recedes from the eye and achieves maximum functionality in a restricted space When limited floor space dictates the size of a kitchen, at least two design factors come into play – ensuring there is enough room to move and introducing a look that is understated but not aesthetically cramped. A mezzanine ceiling outlined the scale of this kitchen designed by owner Dave Strudwick in conjunction with architect Barry Condon of Sarah Scott Architects. Created from recycled kauri hardwood floorboards, the ceiling also forms the floor of the office above. Strudwick says the first step was to consider the necessary circulation space – the kitchen can be entered two ways – and position the cabinets, island and appliances accordingly. “Including high upper cabinets to the rear provides maximum storage, while high-spec Blum fittings allow the cabinetry doors to concertina up, without moving beyond reach.” The kitchen is open to the living area and forms a central feature of the open-plan space. To achieve a New York loft-style aesthetic, almost everything is black. All cabinets are finished in black thermoformed vinyl wrap to achieve the level of gloss required, says the architect. “The sink is black engineered stone and the countertops are in a similar material. A black countertop and black glass splashback also feature. Dark wood cross beams form a connection between the kauri ceiling and the kitchen. Strudwick says that while the sleek kitchen has a strong presence, it also recedes visually, making it hard to read the exact depth and the nature of the forms that comprise the space. “There is a balancing element in the living area – a jet-black, raised fireplace,” he says. The initial plan was for the kitchen’s back wall to be in the same color, but a late female intervention placed contrasting white surfaces there, pulling the design back from what the owner describes as a masculine aesthetic.

Shining example Quartz surfaces take on a whole new look with the new KStone® range from Stone Italiana Finding that point of difference for your new kitchen isn’t always straightforward. But a new Italian collection of countertops is turning heads while simultaneously elevating the kitchen to an art form. The KStone® collection of agglomerate quartz surfaces is from Stone Italiana, a leading manufacturer based in Verona, Italy. The company, which has been manufacturing high-quality agglomerate quartz surfaces since 1979, is renowned for its innovative products, says Davide Sandini, North American export area manager. “The new KStone collection is the result of many years of research and development,” he says. “It reflects the Stone Italiana commitment to producing surfaces with enhanced strength, reduced thickness and weight.

A perfect fit Space is often at a premium in an apartment, but with the right design it’s still possible to have a kitchen with all the bells and whistles, and plenty of storage Above and right: To open up this small kitchen to the rest of the Madison Avenue apartment, architect Alan Berman added a passthrough.

It’s rare to come across a kitchen that hasn’t been updated for around 50 years, but that was exactly the situation for the kitchen in this co-op apartment on New York’s Madison Avenue. Architect Alan Berman of Archetype Design Studio, who worked on the project with his team and direction from the client, says the kitchen was completely original – right down to its green and white metal cabinets. “It also featured fake archways and murals that made it look like a cheap Greek restaurant, and it was closed off from the rest of the apartment,” Berman says. “The owner asked for a

kitchen with a much more open feel, but she didn’t want a loft-style design. She preferred a contemporary classic look, that would be not too modern nor too old fashioned.” The kitchen was subsequently gutted and rebuilt with maple wood cabinetry featuring an Ebony Venice stain. Decorative mouldings on the panel doors give the cabinets a classical look, but this is balanced by the contemporary aesthetic of the Black Galaxy granite countertops. Project manager Ingrid Rancier says to provide more storage, the height of the overhead cabinets was raised.
“We also added a row of cabinets above a new pass-through to the dining room. Squares of backlit glass at the top of the cabinets prevent the units from overpowering the space.” A radiator was concealed within one of the cabinets, with just the vents showing at the top. Keeping with the simple material palette, the designer specified a single mosaic tile in soft brown tones for all the walls. Darker floor tiles help to ground the space, visually. Connectivity is also greatly improved. The pass-through to the dining room incorporates bifolding doors with opaque glass.
Facing page: Despite the kitchen’s small size, there is ample storage provided by a mix of base and overhead cabinets. These have been customized, with items stored close to where they are used. Backlit glass squares in the top of the doors in the overhead units ensure the cabinetry doesn’t overwhelm the space. Above left: Professional cooking appliances are increasingly in demand, says Berman. For this kitchen a Viking range was specified.

Kitchen designers get many unusual requests, but few are probably as challenging as the remodel of the kitchen in this 25-year-old Spanish Colonial house in California. The owners had found a set of antique mesquite bedroom furniture they wished to use for the cabinetry, says designer Cheryl Hamilton-Gray. “Working out how this could be incorporated into the
design was just one challenge. The other involved the layout. One of the owners is a devoted surfer. He wanted to be able to perch on a stool eating his breakfast and look out the window to the ocean to see if the surf was up.� The designer says the first step in the process was taking a full inventory of all the antique furniture, which was disassembled and reinstalled

on new casework. The door panels determined the width of the cabinets, with additional hand-carved mesquite pieces made to match where necessary. The cabinetry was extended into the family area to better integrate the two spaces. However, glass doors and an open shelf were added to the large bank of cabinets in the family room to ensure it wouldn’t overwhelm the space.

“To create more room for base cabinets in the kitchen, we raised the windows in a turret area that was always a bit too small for a breakfast table,” says Hamilton-Gray. “This area now houses coffeemaking facilities, a microwave and refrigerator. Wherever possible, the appliances are integrated into the cabinets.” A new peninsula, which provides a casual dining area,
is positioned to give the owner a direct view through the dining room to the ocean. “All the countertops are tiled, in keeping with the look of a traditional Spanish kitchen,” says the designer. “For the peninsula we added an insert of colored tiles. These provide visual relief for the large surface.” Colored tiles were also specified for the backsplash in
the cooking center, after much deliberation. “There are white patterned tile borders elsewhere in the house,” says Hamilton-Gray. “So that was a consideration, but we went for a soft gold tile with pillowed edges that give a 3-D look. The rhomboid shape echoes a design along the wall above the hammered copper sink. “This is a highly decorated
home, typical of the Spanish Colonial style, so it was all about adding layer upon layer, while ensuring it all worked together.” Other new features to be introduced include a bar area with a sink and refrigerator, which is below a new elevated fireplace in the family room. New pocket doors were also added to screen off the dining room when required.

By invitation only Moving with the times – this 1980s condo now has a sleek, light-filled kitchen that is not only much more functional, but also better suited to entertaining

When you are downsizing to a condo with a kitchen that’s half the size of the one in your former home, functionality becomes a priority. But as the new owners of this 1980s condo discovered, existing kitchens don’t always fit the bill. Kitchen designer Will Adams of SieMatic San Francisco says the original kitchen in the condo was not only dated aesthetically, but
also dysfunctional. It suffered from a lack of natural light, and workstations were compromised by a long, narrow island. There was also no flow to the adjoining rooms. “The owners, interior designer Suzanne Vuko and her husband John, love to cook and wanted a kitchen that would be much better suited to entertaining,” Adams says. Opening up the kitchen
to the dining and living areas was the first priority. Walls were removed to allow natural light to reach right into the kitchen, which is positioned in the middle of the condo. An inefficient fluorescent light fixture – another product of the ’80s – was also removed and a coffered ceiling with traditional mouldings added. ”The owners came from a much more traditional home,

and wanted to keep a hint of tradition,” Adams says. “So, for the flooring Suzanne chose porcelain tiles with a woodgrain look, with an inset marble tile border.” A more contemporary approach was taken for the cabinet design. The flush doors and drawers are laminate gloss in Magnolia White. “To ensure the kitchen would be warm and inviting,

we specified nutmeg oak wood panels for all the vertical elements,” says Adams. “Both the wood and the off-white cabinets help to warm it up, so the kitchen does not look clinical.” The cabinetry includes three overhead display cabinets, illuminated from within. “Suzanne Vuko liked the idea of introducing a pop of blue, with her cookware and stemware,” says Adams. “The
blue provides a visual balance to the warmer materials. There is even a bluish tint to the accent tiles in the glass mosaic backsplash. To add an element of surprise, Suzanne chose decorative blue glass subway tiles for the back of the peninsula, teaming these with a dramatic granite bar top.” At 30in, the cabinets are deeper than standard units, which provides extra counter
space. For this reason, also, a large island stainless steel hood was chosen over a traditional chimney hood – it covers the full depth of the counter. “The owners chose a large stainless steel Sub-Zero refrigerator, which is almost the pièce de résistance,” says Adams. “Two stainless steel wine refrigerators and stainless steel shelving also help to keep the look crisp and fresh.”

Magical makeover It takes the eye of a professional to unlock the potential of a space, as this kitchen remodel by TRS Designs, Inc demonstrates Visualizing a new kitchen in your own home is never easy, no matter how many before-and-after images you study. The owner of this kitchen was initially seeking to refinish her cabinetry, says designer Thomas Richard of TRS Designs, Inc. But that wouldn’t have solved the existing problems of insufficient storage and inadequate countertop space. “It was also clear the kitchen needed an island with a lot more presence,” says Richard. “But it was hard for the owner to see how these things could be achieved.”
62
Richard’s solution did not involve structural changes – he simply rearranged the layout and introduced new cabinetry. The refrigerator was moved from its position near the cooktop to a side wall where it replaced a desk. The cooking center could then be enlarged considerably, to become a key feature of the kitchen. “I also suggested a much larger island that provides additional counter space. A raised bar top with stools creates a casual seating area, and makes this a much more social space,” the designer says.

The island is in solid cherry wood with a nutmeg stain and chocolate glaze. This is teamed with off-white perimeter cabinets with a Baked Alaska finish – a chocolate glaze was applied over a champagne base and then rubbed back to leave a distressed beading detail. Both the island and perimeter cabinets feature full overlay mitered doors with a raised center panel. “At TRS Designs we have five different brands of cabinets, with numerous door styles, wood species and finishes,” says Richard. “This means clients have literally
thousands of cabinetry options, which can be overwhelming, so we usually provide four or five samples and ask for feedback to narrow down the choice.” Here, the cabinets were teamed with Delicatus Gold granite countertops.

Often it is one thing to address all the needs on a client’s wish list and quite another to thread a striking, multi-layered aesthetic right through the design – this project does both. Textural variations between the porcelain floor tiles, diverse wood and laminate cabinets and orbitalized stainless steel countertops give the reinvented kitchen a rich, enduring appeal. An emphasis on form can be seen in the shallow arch of the window above the sink, which is repeated in the shape of the hood, the island countertop, chair backs and desk. Designer Richard Landon says that as well
as interweaving these themes, many pragmatic transformations were made to meet the homeowners’ request for more light, storage and cooking versatility – elements the old kitchen fundamentally lacked. “Some structural changes were instrumental in accommodating the wish list,” says Landon. “We introduced the taller, arched window above the sink to let in more natural light and views of the hillside. We also shifted the French doors to align with the hall, affording space for another window. Lastly, in terms of structure, floor space was gained by moving a bathroom.”

Mindful that the workspace would be used by more than one chef, Landon made the island an optimum size. He also selected a cooktop with side controls, so that two cooks working either side of the island both have easy access. For more storage, ceiling-high cabinets were added, with a ladder accessing the upper areas. Tall pantries were set on the end wall and deep drawers effectively double the capacity of standard drawer sizes. The island also has overlapping drawers – each side has a full-width drawer that alternates with the next. With parents and teenagers using the space,
countertops were introduced at varying heights. “On the island, the jatoba, end-grain butcher block suits the tallest family member, as does a long, raised counter on the end wall,” says Landon. “All other work surfaces are also tall, but closer to standard height.” Besides improving light penetration from outside, Landon layered internal light sources, from the lit upper display cabinets to concealed, under-island lighting. A ceiling monorail system adds more general lighting and decorative task luminaires light the desk area. The study nook was another request of the owners.

Before and after pictures invariably tell an interesting story, but for this kitchen remodel, the contrast between the old and the new is especially remarkable. Designer Lisa Steinbach Schecter of Kitchens on Montana took a tired, overdecorated country kitchen with floral tiled soffits and panels, and transformed it into a classically refined, highly functional family kitchen. “The original kitchen was congested and awkward to work in,� Schecter says. “The heavy soffits also made it feel very
closed in, and a peninsula and huge pot rack were two particular eyesores.” The designer says the owners wanted a lighter, more airy kitchen along traditional lines. They also required a better flow to the overall space. “We removed all the fixtures, including the peninsula and an arched wall around the cooking center. And we widened the doorway to the dining area and glazed a rear door. This helped to open up the space and let in more light.” Schecter also swapped the positions

of the refrigerator and cooking center to improve the work triangle. “In the original kitchen, there was no landing space either side of the range,” she says. “Now there is plenty of counter space, and because the island is larger, the perimeter work areas are much closer to the island countertop and prep sink.” To enhance the classical look, Schecter created a strong sense of symmetry through the cabinet design. Cabinets feature raised panel doors with beaded insets. A soft white shade was chosen for
the perimeter cabinets, while the island is a pale silvery gray. “We teamed this with beautiful quartz stone countertops that are reminiscent of a Monet painting,” the designer says. “The island also features clipped corners and corbels that help to make it stand out as a special centerpiece.” Overhead display cabinets showcase glass and stemware, and incorporate decorative plate racks. Wherever possible, appliances are integrated into the cabinets to continue the traditional look.

Playful contrast Classic, contemporary and surprising, this kitchen responds to the tastes of its owners Home interiors are no longer expected to fall into strict categories of classic or modern. Increasingly, decor is becoming a celebration of personal loves and likes – whatever the preferred design flavor. Created by designer Mick De Giulio, this kitchen offers the best of all worlds. The client wish list specified an open-plan kitchen and family room that would project an edgy feel, yet meld with the home’s traditional architecture. The owners love to cook and entertain so the space had to combine functionality and drama. In many ways, the room’s ceiling both leads and symbolizes this project, says De Giulio. “We introduced ornate crown mouldings to tie in with the home’s origins but at the same time, we replaced the round recessed lights in the existing kitchen with rectilinear versions.” Contrasting tones and textures balance each other in the new design. White lacquered cabinets on the wall and island play off an ebonized cabinet with antiqued mirrored panels that conceals the integrated refrigerator. Gleaming stainless steel cabinets flank the range. The room is grounded by the existing wood floors, stained a darker tone to accentuate the artisan wall finish and cream cabinetry. A balance of scale further draws the decor together. The presence of the large range hood, designed by De Giulio, is played down by its reflective surfaces, and the mass of the island is mitigated by its modern, slender countertop. “Plenty of cabinets, spacious work surfaces and heavy-duty appliances cater to the business side of the kitchen, but several elements have a more glamorous appeal,” says the designer. “For example, I designed a tall glassware cabinet with a polished, reflective frame and ebonized walnut interiors. This eye-catching, modern piece catches the sparkle of the large chandelier over the breakfast table and light from the nearby floor-to-ceiling windows.”

Blending in with the greater space is always a balancing act when it comes to designing a kitchen – while a demarcated area of use is essential, so too is an aesthetic contribution to the surrounding spaces. When kitchen designer Angela Otten came to this project, the house was still in the planning stage. This allowed her to work with the architects to delineate the kitchen by matching the cabinetry layout with the coffered ceiling above. The owners had asked for a playful design that would offer plenty of room to move, and would feel part of the overall interior, says Otten.
“To work in with the adjacent living space, I introduced a black wood frame element that surrounds the baking and associated storage area, and another that encapsulates the rear counter and cooktop. These frames match similar ebonized elements in the living area, such as the hearth surround on the fireplace. “The predominantly black-and-white scheme forms another all-enveloping framework – the outer white island, the endpiece on the inner island and the wall and ceiling trim around all the wood frames form a ring of white surrounding all the black elements in the space.”
Another connecting device in the kitchen is a generous use of backpainted glass. This is seen on the cabinets over the ovens, on cabinet faces in the butler’s pantry, on the end of the island, and repeated in similar form as the backsplash to the shelving on either side of the fireplace in the living room. Design continuity runs from the most public place to the most private space, with the marble on the fireplace hearth repeated on the rear wall of the butler’s pantry. “The playful side of the design is revealed in several ways, such as in the vibrant red of the backsplash,” says Otten.

“The custom-designed range hood features vertical wood strips that give the impression it is suspended,” says Otten. “Other light-hearted touches include the dainty chandeliers over the inner island, chosen by the interior designer, and the oversized corbels on the outer island.” Beyond the bold color scheme and lighthearted elements, the kitchen is a picture of responsive functionality. The inner island is used for food preparation and cleaning, and includes a sink, while the outer island provides a convenient spot for guests or family members to sit and chat with the chef.

With the kitchen so much a part of modern living today, it’s not surprising that a kitchen designer working on a new home has a significant role to play. When Matthew Quinn of Design Galleria was commissioned to design the kitchen for this new traditional house by Clay Chapman of Period Architecture, he could see there was an opportunity to
accentuate an elevated brick fireplace that was one of the key features of the architecture. “The brick fireplaces are the first elements to be built in Chapman’s houses,” he says. “They are always distinctive, and it made sense to align this fireplace up with the front door and kitchen cabinetry. To do this we shifted the stairs slightly. Now you enter into a double-height grand foyer,
move through a lower, vaulted space and then pop out again into the kitchen and family area with its high ceiling.” Quinn says in this family it is the retired husband who is most interested in cooking. “The kitchen is essentially his laboratory,”he says. “He loves to go to the farmers’ markets, buy fresh produce and come back and experiment with various foods and sauces.
Facing page: There is a very close connection between this kitchen and the foyer of the new house. The openings all line up from the front door, so there is a sightline right through the kitchen to an inviting fireplace in the family room at the opposite end. Above: Sleek steel elements help to keep the look crisp and modern, even though the recessed panel cabinet doors have a transitional appeal. The overhead cabinets have wire inserts.

It stores items for the dining room.

So it had to be a great kitchen to work in.” For this reason all the food prep and cooking can be carried out on one side of the island where there is an easy work triangle between the sink, refrigerator and oven. On the opposite side of the oven is a large, decorative hutch that functions as a bar, with ample storage for wine, liquor and glassware. Inset

antique mirrored panels and a black walnut countertop on the hutch enhance the traditional, furniture-style look of the cabinet. High clerestories bring natural light into the kitchen – these are the only walls in the kitchen as the house is close to the neighboring property on this side. The clerestory windows also allow a pleasant leafy view of the treetops for
family and friends seated at the island. “Because the island was designed to form part of that axis through the house, we gave it a dark ebony stain, rather than painting it white, like the perimeter cabinets,” says Quinn. “Being dark it appears to have emerged from the dark wood floor – it certainly doesn’t detract from the sightline.
“The client loved the look of soapstone, but it is not a practical surface for a kitchen, so we found a granite slab that looks very like soapstone, but has the added functionality.” Overhead cabinets either side of the cooking center have a wire mesh accent. This wall is further enhanced by brick-style, white-painted tiles laid in a herringbone pattern, another traditional touch.

One of the biggest remodeling challenges is working with existing structural elements that may not be desired but are too costly to be changed. Sometimes, innovative design solutions are required to disguise these. This house, for example, featured an exterior wall that popped out like a bay window – with the kitchen cabinetry echoing the angles on the inside. Kitchen designer Jean-Claude Desjardins of Belle Kitchen says the result was a kitchen with no flow. “The cabinetry incorporated 45° angles, which looked very dated and angular,” he says.
“The house was built in the late ’80s, but the kitchen looked like it had been designed in 1970. Even the bank of cabinets on the opposite wall was not flush.” Sandy Merrill, the owner who was closely involved with the interior design, wanted a more modern, clean-lined kitchen that would complement the rest of the remodeled house. “We gutted the room and introduced new Leicht cabinetry that has a light, horizontal texture,” says Desjardins. “The base cabinetry absorbs the angles on the exterior wall, presenting as a single flat elevation.”
The designer then chose to reinforce the symmetry of the wall behind, which already featured two low slot windows. “We needed to come up with detailing that would incorporate those windows,” he says. “This was provided by two illuminated display boxes featuring the same light texture but with lacquered dark brown interiors. These are used to display decorative glass vases.” Desjardins says the dark brown shade can be seen elsewhere in the house, which has a Zenlike interior and features several Asian artefacts and dark wood furniture.

An angled exterior wall features display boxes and horizontal slot windows. Above: Symmetrical corner cabinets with L-shaped doors and special hinges flank the entry to a hallway. The glass shelves were designed to give the impression they are floating.

Top right: The kitchen opens to the outdoors, and also to the family room. But the designer says the two rooms were not completely integrated as the kitchen is already large, and the two ceiling heights are very different. Above right: A glass-topped breakfast table has a dark wood base that tones with the dark brown casing around the cabinets and the interiors of the display boxes.

The concept of display also determined the design of two symmetrical corner cabinets that frame the entry to a hallway. The cabinets feature hinged, L-shaped doors with Germanengineered hardware and center glass panels. The doors open to reveal floating glass shelves. Symmetry defines the cooking center as well. This features a glass backsplash over an embossed wallpaper. Desjardins says this was a way to introduce a textural element, while ensuring the kitchen remained easy to clean. Pull-out pantries flank the double oven, while the large bank of cabinets near the

breakfast table accommodates an integrated refrigerator, home office and storage. This entire wall of cabinets is framed with a dark brown casing, providing another visual link with the rest of the house. The island has smooth off-white cabinetry and a contrasting Cosmos granite countertop. “This is an exquisite granite with a flame-cut textured top that gives it an organic look,” says the designer. “Visually, it helps to balance the lighter stone on the perimeter countertops, and the off-white cabinetry also provides contrast and a point of difference.”
