After: Post-renovation, the kitchen was transformed into a light, bright, and highly efficient space. Custom frameless cabinetry in a slim shaker style, painted in “Decorator’s White,” introduced clean lines and hidden storage solutions—including an appliance garage and under-cabinet LED dimmable lighting. A microwave was relocated above the new induction range to extend cabinetry near the refrigerator, while a new French door fridge and top-control dishwasher completed the sleek stainless steel appliance package. We added a small breakfast nook for cozy dining, engineered quartz countertops in a smoked pearl polish for durability and elegance, and a “Coco” matte porcelain backsplash for warmth. Satin nickel pendant lighting added the final contemporary touch, balancing function with refined design.

Our roof and gutter de-icing products are built to protect properties from the damage caused by ice dam formations.

Despite its powerful airflow, the hood operates quietly thanks to an advanced multi-layer sound-absorbing system. This innovative technology helps reduce operating noise, allowing you to enjoy a cleaner, fresher kitchen environment without unnecessary distractions.
Advanced Perimeter Suction Filtration Technology
The Amalfi Series uses a perimeter suction filtration system that creates an air curtain around your cooktop. This design improves capture efficiency by directing smoke, grease, and odors toward the edges of the hood for more effective filtration.
The hidden metal mesh grease filters maintain the hood’s clean, minimalist appearance while providing reliable grease collection. The filters are easy to remove and dishwasher safe for convenient maintenance.
Smart Controls and Energy-Efficient LED Lighting
The illuminated electronic control panel makes operating the Amalfi Wall Range Hood simple and intuitive. With the push of a button, you can adjust ventilation settings and access built-in features.

LEED Certification Level: V4

Architect: Trillium Architects.
The Taft School faculty home serves as a high performance residence and learning lab for students. The project also earned certification through ENERGY STAR, Indoor airPLUS, Water Sense, PHIUS, and Department of Energy Zero Energy Ready Homes with Living Building Challenge Petal recognition pending. The project team was honored with third place in the 2014 Connecticut Zero Energy Home Challenge. Excluding the photovoltaic installation the HERS index was 33, and with the 13.1 kW the HERS index is -14. A year of utility bills show the home is producing more electricity than it uses.
Located on a quiet street adjacent to campus the existing, historic home was deconstructed and materials donated or reused where possible. Challenged to find high efficiency windows that were historic commission acceptable, the team installed Klearwall awnings or casements over fixed glass (to mimic double hungs) with simulated divided lites (u-values as low as 0.13). A high solar heat gain coefficient (0.58) facilitates the passive solar gain for winter months, while well designed overhangs and a pergola shade summer sun. Double stud walls have 2¼” closed cell foam plus 8½” dense pack cellulose for a R-49 cavity. The exterior sheathing is R-6.6 Zip Wall System with taped seams to create the continuous air barrier. Inside the solid concrete foundation is 3” closed cell foam behind 2x4 stud walls and R-32 cellulose in the cavity. Prefabricated TJI joists frame the attic floor, an insulated “room” houses the heat recovery ventilator and ductwork, and blown in cellulose blankets it all in R-86. The house tested 0.6ACH50 proving the effectiveness of its air-tight envelope and attention to air sealing.
Heating and cooling is provided by efficient air source heat pumps (9.2 HSPF, 16.5 SEER) and delivered by short duct runs which tested extremely tight. A heat pump water heater provides domestic hot water and an on-demand switch, with an occupancy sensor at each bath, ensures hot water is delivered fast and efficiently. Low flow fixtures are WaterSense certified, appliances are Energy Star labeled, and all LED lighting. A Zehnder Novus 300 (93.3% efficient) HRV supplies 112 cfm of continuous fresh air while using only 32 watts of power and running quietly. The homeowners control the mechanical ventilation through the intuitive wall-mounted control pad to shut off or increase the ventilation. Chemicals and contaminants were reduced by using low VOC and GreenGuard certified sealants, adhesives, primers, and paints. A walk-off matt at the side entry and hardwood floors help control dirt and dust. The granite front steps were salvaged and local stone used for the patio and stone walls. Storm water runoff from the roof, patio, and driveway is managed by the rain garden. The native landscaping is low maintenance, a community garden produces vegetables, and the chicken coop is powered by its own roof mounted PV panels.
Taft School Director of Environmental Stewardship, Carly Borken has used the design and construction process as a teaching tool for her science classes. With access to the home monitoring system they can virtually access the residents’ consumption.

CONCEPT: Create an upscale kitchen including mid-century elements and modern technology.
SOLUTION: A half wall replaced a tall partition allowing visibility from the entry to outdoors. The ceiling was raised; a flush mounted remote-controlled hood permits unobstructed views. The trapezoid shaped island enables flow from dining and outdoors as well as provides seating. Cabinets are practical yet stylish and efficient; they include trash/recycle and even compost bins. Drawers are universally accessible allowing for “aging in place”. The client can set infinite lighting scenarios through “Smart” lighting technology connected to Google Home. Bold blue color is paired with rich wood tones creating a calm yet sophisticated feel. This 1960’s home now boasts an attractive mid-century kitchen with functional cabinetry and innovative technology.
