Located on a lovely lake in the Kazabazua area of Quebec, this 3+2 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath, 4-season cottage is based on an inspiration plan our clients brought to us. It has been significantly customized to suit the young family. They enjoy both summer and winter sports — wakeboarding, kayaking, biking, hiking, downhill skiing, and snowmobiling — and love to entertain family and friends. The family spends as much time as possible at their lakefront property and the cottage design includes everything you would expect in a modern home. The open-concept kitchen, dining room, and great room feature a wall of windows towards the lake and a fireplace with built-ins. The dining area easily accommodates the family and visitors for meals overlooking the lake. An extensive deck off the dining room provides both a covered and open area and the spacious sunroom will comfortably seat a large group and extend the summer season into spring and fall. Along with two guest rooms, the walkout basement features a large rec room with lots of windows for a view of the lake. Abundant storage space includes a room for sporting goods, a pantry, and a massive walk-in closet. A full bathroom, mudroom, and mechanical/laundry room round out the lower level, and a side door provides access to the lower patio.

This classic post-and-beam house sits on a ridge in the Riviera neighborhood of Santa Barbara, CA. With stunning views of Gibraltar Rock, Mission Canyon, and Cielito Overlook, the house’s original designers sited it perfectly and implemented an elegantly simple structural system based on a clear design vision. Unfortunately, several subsequent owners lacked that same clarity and made questionable remodeling choices based on passing style fads, effectively turning the house into something it was not and – most perplexing of all – turning their backs to the majesty of the surrounding mountains and valley. Working with the new owner, who saw through the noise of these misguided remodels, we set out to return the house to its roots and recreate its rhythmic geometry and interior flow. We added new wall-to-wall double sliding doors that open to the expansive northern views, bringing space and light to the living, dining, and kitchen areas and providing easy access to the surrounding natural environment. We also reconsidered the color palette and materials, simplified detailing and trim, and highlighted interior focal points such as the original slump block fireplace and newly remodeled kitchen. The house now entertains easily and provides a comfortable and gracious living space for its owner and guests.

Situated in Lancaster county overlooking Amish farms this older home had excellent bones to create a modern, industrial look. The original kitchen had traditional walnut cabinets and a rustic look. The client from San Francisco recognized the potential and hired us to come up with a design that matched their taste and coordinated with the house - modern with a little bit of industrial chic. It was important that the kitchen had counter space, storage, and seating. Space was limited we removed a wall and added a niche wall with the refrigerator. Our client requested lots of storage space to create a clear and uncluttered counter. All cooking equipment and small appliances have a place. A large pantry was created for extra storage. Full height cabinets on either side of the refrigerator provide storage and easy access to small kitchen appliances. Top hinged cabinet doors make storage easily accessible. Drawers were used for base cabinets so that items are easily within reach. Moving from the sink to the range and to the refrigerator is easy with just a few steps between each appliance - making cooking a breeze. Globe lights over the island create plenty of light for cooking, eating or working. Under-counter lighting and hidden hood lighting provide additional brightness. A long marble topped island with a waterfall edge serves as a prep station and counter for serving. The upper counter can be used for seating, standing, and serving. Using a monochromatic palette with wood accents kept the design clean and allows the eye to settle on beautiful details. The results are a functional, open modern feeling kitchen, with a beautiful backdrop of the Amishfarm outside full length windows. It is very special.

The 20-year-old kitchen originally in this home was dark and segmented and was in dire need of a makeover to bring in the light. Overlooking the harbor, the space needed to reflect the view it held, and its small area was a challenge. However, Classic Kitchens & Interiors set to work taking down ceilings, removing columns and relocating rooms to create a series of fresh, bright and open spaces that includes a much larger kitchen with three islands, and a pass-through pantry. With water views all around, the homeowners selected Pescara inset with hidden dust rail in Nordic White for their perimeter cabinets, and Hale Blue for the center island for a beachy blue and white coastal theme. The cabinets feature decorative end panels with lock mitered corners, and the cabinetry crown is simple and understated to easily blend with the room base molding. The large center island countertop has embedded supports to allow a large overhang for oversized stools. The wet bar is designed with Chatham Recessed cabinetry in a high-gloss Hale Blue finish with the continuing marble countertop and brushed brass and glass shelving.
