The objective was to create a warm neutral space to later customize to a specific colour palate/preference of the end user for this new construction home being built to sell. A high-end contemporary feel was requested to attract buyers in the area. An impressive kitchen that exuded high class and made an impact on guests as they entered the home, without being overbearing. The space offers an appealing open floorplan conducive to entertaining with indoor-outdoor flow. Due to the spec nature of this house, the home had to remain appealing to the builder, while keeping a broad audience of potential buyers in mind. The challenge lay in creating a unique look, with visually interesting materials and finishes, while not being so unique that potential owners couldn’t envision making it their own. The focus on key elements elevates the look, while other features blend and offer support to these striking components. As the home was built for sale, profitability was important; materials were sourced at best value, while retaining high-end appeal. Adaptations to the home’s original design plan improve flow and usability within the kitchen-greatroom. The client desired a rich dark finish. The chosen colours tie the kitchen to the rest of the home (creating unity as combination, colours and materials, is repeated throughout). Photos- Paul Grdina

This project won in the 2013 Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh Housing Excellence Award for Best Urban Renewal Renovation Project. The glass bowl was made in the glass studio owned by the owner which is adjacent to the residence. The mirror is a repurposed window. The door is repurposed from a boarding house. George Mendel

Adding the nice touch of a video wall which makes you screen appear bigger and allows you to play the same channel through all of them or separate channels for different audiences!

"When designing a “wow” kitchen, think of creating that one conversation piece that captures the audience in the room. The wow factor that seizes the hearts of our audience in this kitchen is the unique concrete cone that we incorporated into the island, which is utilized as a cocktail table for entertaining and conversation for guests. Combing textures and differing elements such as horizontal wood grains, open shelving, large ceramic metal tiles, stainless steel appliances, and circle motifs sets the stage and ambiance that we were seeking in this Seattle Space Needle influenced kitchen."

With a classic and elegant design style, the Clubhouse reflects the lifestyle of an affluent, professional audience with sophisticated taste. The design is clean and refined, with a neutral, soothing color palette and high end finishes. Classic architectural details add character to the space. The materials used are inspired by the local surroundings of green landscapes and gardens, historic architecture, stone mansions, cobblestone streets and vintage artifacts and antiques. The stone fireplace with custom banquettes adds casual seating and the soaring ceilings with dormer detail allow natural light to flood the main entertaining area. The custom designed porcelain tile flooring with border leads you through the space to an unexpected over-sized casual dining area with live edge wooden sharing table for gathering and events
