With the decision to forego a microwave, two ovens―one conventional, one steam―were must-haves for these foodie homeowners.

Finalist—NY Cottages & Gardens 2018 Kitchen Design. Finalist—Westchester Home Design Awards Modern Kitchen 2018. Kitchen Design – Studio Dearborn with ND Interiors. Photography: Tim Lenz. This chic high rise apartment is the home to empty nesters who were ready for a dose of clean contemporary glam. The kitchen was renovated to open it up to light and panoramic views of lower Westchester. Pale gray high gloss handle-less cabinetry is punctuated with touches of polished chrome. Automated Aventos lifters operate every door, and a polished chrome tall cabinet holds the homeowner’s treasured glass and porcelain collection. Wallpapers by Phillip Jeffries clad the walls and back of the tall china cabinet, adding textural contrast to the slick finishes. A built in banquette was added to the breakfast area for a clean but luxurious feel.
