This kitchen renovation blends timeless craftsmanship with a warm, modern aesthetic. Custom natural-oak cabinetry anchors the space with organic texture, while soft green island and perimeter accents introduce a subtle wash of color. Bright natural light highlights the clean stone surfaces, brass fixtures, and tailored millwork details throughout. Thoughtful upgrades—like paneled appliances, a plaster hood, a dedicated coffee nook, and a sculptural plaster range hood—elevate both function and flow. The result is a calm, inviting kitchen that feels fresh yet enduring, designed for everyday family living and effortless entertaining.

A light-filled kitchen designed as part of a Modern Heritage renovation, where classic proportions are refined through a restrained, contemporary lens. Soft blue island cabinetry grounds the space, while white millwork, integrated storage, and generous glazing allow architecture and light to lead. Natural materials and balanced detailing create a kitchen that feels timeless, functional, and quietly modern.

These homeowners originally approached us for a dual-bathroom remodel. However, once we sat down with them and went through the discovery process of asking key questions, we uncovered that a kitchen was the priority. Sometimes clients dream bigger than their budgets can afford. Well, actually, they always do, but hey, nothing wrong with being an optimist, right? They wanted a more modern, useful kitchen without a 90's desk, which draws clutter like flies to honey. We redesigned that space specifically for more useful storage and solved their design dilemma regarding different color schemes by offering a 3 tone solution. In the right light, the upper cabinets and lower cabinets have a slightly different shade, the lower being more grey tone. And obviously, the island is a bright blue.

This tri-level new construction project in collaboration with Interspace Builders and Modern House Architects was an exercise in modern minimalism. With a basement level gym, theater, and ADU, ground floor indoor/outdoor flow, second floor bedroom quarters, and an elevator designed for aging in place, this house was designed with thoughtfulness and intention.

We started from the ground up with Greenland 30 mil Sweet Molasses flooring by Twelve Oaks, bringing warmth and rich texture into the space. The fully custom cabinetry was thoughtfully designed to elevate functionality while adding timeless character. Countertops and backsplash shine in Windsor Brass Satin Ridge by Cambria, adding a sleek metallic depth that pairs perfectly with the pendant lights from Shades of Light — simple, sculptural, and so chic. To complete the look, we brought in a full suite of Dacor appliances from Ferguson, marrying luxury with performance.

This timeless transitional kitchen blends classic design with modern functionality. White shaker perimeter cabinets are paired with Cambria Gladstone quartz countertops and a full-height backsplash for a seamless, polished look. A contrasting black shaker island seats three and is topped with the same quartz, anchoring the space with elegance and practicality. Key features include a large wood-scooped custom vent hood over a 48" Wolf range, a 36" Thermador refrigerator, and full-height cabinetry for maximum storage. A hidden microwave behind a lift-up appliance garage keeps counters clutter-free, while thoughtful storage—like a 12" spice pull-out, lazy Susan, trash pull-out, and deep 36" drawers with custom organizers—maximizes efficiency. The brushed brass Top Knobs hardware adds warmth and contrast against the cabinetry, complemented by a matte black Kohler Crue faucet and black Blanco undermount sink. Light wood flooring and floating shelves soften the space, while a large window floods the kitchen with natural light—eliminating the need for pendant lighting over the island and maintaining clean sightlines. A perfect balance of beauty and function, this kitchen was designed for modern living with timeless appeal.
