THE SETUP Initially, the kitchen in this prestigious Chicago Gold Coast residence lacked the sophistication and allure that our client desired. With a passion for marble and a vision for a space that would be as suitable for daily use as it was for entertaining, the homeowner sought a transformation that would introduce elegance and drama into the heart of her home. Design Objectives: Introduce opulent marble countertops to create a striking focal point Install a comprehensive high backsplash for continuity and luxe impact Update the range hood with a design that commands attention Refresh the cabinetry with a brighter, more modern finish. THE REMODEL Design Challenges: The quest for the ideal marble slabs was extensive and challenging. Our mission: find the right slabs and match them The homeowner’s preference against metal hoods prompted a creative redesign Design Solutions: We selected exquisite Calacatta Viola marble slabs that encapsulate the desired impact and drama A bespoke marble hood was crafted, serving as a unique and sophisticated component that complements the overall design THE RENEWED SPACE The transformation of this kitchen is nothing short of remarkable. Transitioning from a space that once felt underwhelming to one that exudes boldness and beauty, it now perfectly reflects the elegance and taste of its discerning owner. More than just a kitchen, it’s become a centerpiece for the home, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere for both everyday moments and grand entertaining. It now stands as a testament to timeless design and the unique vision of its homeowner.
