Our projects aim to be enduring, timeless and ultimately satisfying our clients for a very long time, especially since the kitchen is one of the most important spaces of the home. We enjoy working with homeowners as well as the local design community, including interior designers, architects and builders to achieve the project vision and we offer full concierge service from concept to installation. Our owner, Cathleen Summers, comes from an extended, varied career in architecture, residential, retail and restaurant design and has a passion for anything culinary, so specializing in kitchen design is a very natural progression. We understand the functional and organizational needs in the kitchen, and love the problem solving of creating functional as well as beautiful spaces for our clients.

Scope included more than Siematic cabinets: it required some light re-framing to rationalize soffits and overhangs. And Cathleen and team were a great resource for the entire project: recommending vendors, specialists, fixtures, appliances, and materials from several solid sources. > > Summers Studio operated with an owner's mindset: coming on site to help with materials selection, verifying and sorting the delivery of materials, and inspecting and advising installation several times throughout the process. Cathleen also brings a designer's attention to detail: anticipating, for example, a small detail of pattern matching for slabs that the (excellent) fabricators overlooked. Every large project will run into hiccups and ours did too. They responded very well: helping to shift the island layout to accommodate unexpected site conditions, rushing replacement of a part that had a manufacturing issue, offering several options for an appliance that didn't fit as spec-ed, and returning to advise months later about an issue with installation. > > I've installed full custom cabinetry and a US-based system cabinetry in other projects and, by far, SieMatic has been my favorite. Quality of the finishes and precision of build are far superior to alternatives. Interior accessories and thoughtful touches like dust seals and interior drawers can only be described as moments of joy. I was very sad to sell this kitchen when I needed more space. **★★★★★ — jeanneb59, July 2023** > Cathleen and Anderson are the ultimate partners, professionals and designers. Mix that in with really caring about your project and how it will improve your life, and you have an unbeatable combination. > > From the moment we first discussed our project through ordering and installation and now, more than a year since it's beautiful completion - no matter what we need - they are there and truly attentive. > > Our SieMatic kitchen is the center piece of our home, and Cathleen and Anderson are the reason. > > Bravo! **★★★★★ — kbell98177, May 2023** > When I decided on SieMatic for our home I had already visited many cabinet shops in the area. What helped make the final decision was the time spent and details offered in our very first meeting. The cabinets are gorgeous with features that I hadn’t seen with others. After we started the project there were many more meetings to assure that we on the same page as well as site visits with our contractor to offer install advice. I am grateful to say I don’t have any regrets in the decisions we made. > > It’s been several years and I still get compliments on the overall design and presentation. The whole crew at SieMatic were a pleasure to work with and I’d love to do another project down the road. **★★★★★ — M B, May 2023** > We recently had a SieMatic Seattle kitchen designed and installed by Summers Studio, and we couldn't be happier with the results! > The modern and sleek design is exactly what we were looking for, and the service provided by Cathleen Summers was outstanding. She was always responsive and timely in her communication and follow-up. We were impressed with the expertise of the designers, and they worked closely with us to create a kitchen that was both beautiful and functional. > Cathleen also helped oversee the installation process of the kitchen and the countertops, and she made sure that everything was done to our satisfaction. We would highly recommend Summers Studio to anyone looking for high-quality kitchen cabinets and outstanding customer service. **★★★★★ — Fred J. Kleisner, May 2023** > Summers Studios presented the SieMatic Kitchen portfolio to us at their offices in Seattle, We were able to see all the choices SieMatic offers as well ask the interior accessories offered by SieMatic through our visit to Summers Studios.The Multiple model Installations made for a practical view of our SieMatic choices. > > Cathleen Summers was an excellent listener when it cam to hearing and knowing our needs: culinary, kitchen flow, convenience and style. We were able to make decisions in real time, and in one visit. Summers Studios quickly presented design concepts and final designs that answered and complimented our interest in efficiency, functionality and design layout. Installation was efficiently accomplished by Summers Studios master Carpenters - Everything Fit!!! Everything worked!! > As we prepare and cook together, overlooking The Puget Sound, we absolutely LOVE our SieMatic "Forever Kitchen" by Summers Studios!!! > Thank you Cathleen Summers and Summers Studios!! > Kindest regards, > Johnna and Fred Kleisner > Bainbridge Island Washington **★★★★★ — Carter Pecce, April 2023** > My husband and I had business in the same building that Summers Studio is located and we would walk by and ogle the beautiful showroom. Every time we stopped in, the team was gracious and informative. When we decided it was time to change out our kitchen, there was no other choice but SieMatic and Summers Studio. The process was riddled with perfection and the zig and zags in the project were addressed with knowledge and when right, accommodated. The Design and Customer Service is impeccable and, despite multiple projects going on, they found a way to address any issues in a timely manner. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with the Team at Summers Studio and SieMatic again. **★★★★★ — Kajoli Tankha, April 2023** > Siematic was excellent > Cathleen and Andrew were wonderful. They supported us in what we needed and were not pushy at all. We were able to get the kitchen that we wanted! > I especially appreciated how they helped me have a beverage section as we drink a lot of teas, coffees and sparkling water. > I would trust Cathleen and her team again for our project (I think a bathroom reno may be on the cards next year) **★★★★★ — maria, April 2023** > We loved working with SieMatic Seattle. Cathleen and her crew gave us a gorgeous and functional chef's kitchen that's the life of our apartment. They had wonderful design ideas, they were attentive to our needs, and always prompt and friendly. You can do no better than putting your kitchen dreams in the hands of SieMatic Seattle/Summers Studio. **★★★★★ — Eugene Alger, April 2023** > I had the opportunity to work with Cathleen Summers @ SeiMatic Seattle a few years back. Frankly , I was a regular visitor to her office over about a 6 - 9 month process as I scoped out my kitchen with Cathleen. Not only was Cathleen always helpful and professional , her recommendations were fantastic and got my project to the right place. The installation went flawlessly and the quality of the SeiMatic product has been great. I am open to showing my beautiful kitchen if someone was interested in the product and I could help. Gene Alger **★★★★★ — Pamela Austin, April 2023** > Cathleen worked with the architect to design the kitchen remodel for my 1972-era condo. The original kitchen was a typical galley kitchen of the time. My thought was to keep the galley since it seemed to work and was space efficient. Cathleen looked at the layout, immediately said, " I think your kitchen wants to do this, " and proceeded to sketch a new layout. Yes, indeed, my kitchen did need to change. The new design gave me much more counter space, opened up to the view, and dining area, and has an effecient work triangle for meal prep. > > We worked together to select the Siematic cabinets and fittings; the Siematic cabinetry is a marvel of good design and storage efficiency. > > As the interior designer said one day, "Your kitchen is a dream." **★★★★★ — usaela, April 2023** > We remodeled our home in 2015/16 and decided to purchase a Siematic kitchen. This was for us one of the best decisions we made! Cathleen made it extremely easy for us with her knowledge about different materials and had a great sense of esthetic! Not just did our kitchen turn out exactly what we hoped for, it is the centerpiece in our new house. That's were we meet and that's where our guests meet and it's built to last. After almost 7 years of heavy use, the kitchen still looks new and we had two very minor incidents and either Cathleen or Anderson came out to fix it right away. What an AWESOME service! I can highly recommend Cathleen and Anderson to anyone looking for a quality, long lasting and beautiful looking kitchen. The functionality of a Siematic kitchen is outstanding! **★★★★★ — nickleclercq, April 2023** > Cathleen Summers and her staff provided excellent advice and service in the remodel of our kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and master bedroom. Considering the SieMatic cabinets were built in Stuttgard, Germany, and the installer came from England, we were amazed by the seamless process. We enjoy our SieMatic cabinets each day. ## Selected projects - [Bold Modern Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bold-modern-kitchen-pj-vj~3127257) - Location: Mercer Island, WA - Photos: 3 - [Country Modern Retreat Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/country-modern-retreat-kitchen-pj-vj~3197023) - Location: Anacortes, WA - Photos: 7 - [Elegant Kitchen, Bar and Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegant-kitchen-bar-and-bath-pj-vj~3127296) - Location: Bellevue, WA - Photos: 8 - [Warm Modern Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/warm-modern-kitchen-pj-vj~2989127) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 3 - [White Modern Kitchen with Pop of Color](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-modern-kitchen-with-pop-of-color-pj-vj~2756181) - Location: Redmond, WA - Photos: 4 - [Sophisticated Balance Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sophisticated-balance-kitchen-pj-vj~3196552) - Location: Kirkland, WA - Photos: 2 - [First Hill Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/first-hill-kitchen-pj-vj~6331270) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Westlake Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/westlake-kitchen-pj-vj~6331283) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 3 - [Tower Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tower-kitchen-pj-vj~6331247) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 5 - [Downtown Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/downtown-kitchen-pj-vj~6331263) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 4 - [Striking Transitional Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/striking-transitional-kitchen-pj-vj~3128564) - Location: Bainbridge Island, WA - Photos: 7 - [Inviting Family Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/inviting-family-kitchen-pj-vj~3019765) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 4 - [Bright and Welcoming White Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bright-and-welcoming-white-kitchen-pj-vj~3127191) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 4 - [Charming Greenlake Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/charming-greenlake-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~3155601) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 4 - [Industrial Modern Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/industrial-modern-kitchen-pj-vj~5681085) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 3 - [Magnolia Modern Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/magnolia-modern-kitchen-pj-vj~6329268) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 3 - [Drivers Club Redmond Bar and Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/drivers-club-redmond-bar-and-kitchen-pj-vj~6331229) - Location: Redmond, WA - Photos: 6 - [Refreshing Spacious Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/refreshing-spacious-kitchen-pj-vj~5328296) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 5 - [Fresh and Intimate Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fresh-and-intimate-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~3155597) - Location: Bellevue, WA - Photos: 3 - [Market Townhouse Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/market-townhouse-kitchen-pj-vj~6329022) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: SieMatic Pure design, Natural Walnut with Matt Graphite Grey lacquer cabinetry, Natural Walnut wood wall panels, SieMatic Basalt Grey island countertop, Carrara stone countertop, Tile backsplash, Gaggenau appliances, Julien stainless steel sink, Dornbracht Dark Platinum matt faucet, SieMatic storage cabinets.

A: Hi, the floating wood shelves were planned by our studio and sourced via the General contractor, they are a clear stained knotty white oak finish. **Q: I see you don't have pendant lighting** *(in Photo Questions)* over the Island. Was this the owner's choice or the designer? Just curious. I am trying to choose lighting for an island with stove like this. Thanks. A: Hi Sinead, In this case, the island hood provides a decent amount of lighting, along with the recessed ceiling lighting, The owners wanted a more open, uncluttered feeling, without pendants. **Q: Coutertop?** *(in Photo Questions)* Solid surface material? A: Thanks for your interest...The island countertop is Neolith Basalt Gray, a sintered stone/solid surface material, fabricated and installed as part of the SieMatic kitchen cabinetry. It is a super durable material that has excellent stain, scratch and heat resistant properties. **Q: is the countertop thickness 6mm or 22mm** *(in Photo Questions)* Like to countertop and wonder the pros and cons of 6mm vs 12mm thickness A: Hi, thank you for your interest in this countertop. The material is Dekton Sirius, 1.2cm thickness and it is very durable and easy maintenance, stain proof, scratch proof, heat proof... The thinner countertops need to have some support at overhangs, which can be very minimal, and the 6mm material needs a good substrate to support it. The thin 6mm and 1.2cm material gives the countertop a nice visual floating surface. **Q: What material was used on the back splash?** *(in Photo Questions)* I am thinking of using quartz rather than tile. A: The backsplash is a 30 x 30 porcelain tile in Calacatta Gloss. **Q: Gorgeous! What is the source for the cabinetry? Thank you!** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hello! and thank you! This cabinetry is SieMatic, a German Luxury kitchen cabinetry and lifestyle brand. Summers Studio is the exclusive Pacific Northwest dealer. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
