Our clients envisioned a clean, contemporary kitchen designed for both functionality and entertaining. Passionate about cooking and entertaining guests, their priorities included generous work surfaces, discreet storage for small appliances, and ample space for serving ware, cookware, and dinnerware.
The cabinetry was selected for both aesthetics and ease of maintenance. A minimalist, hardware-free look keeps the space visually uncluttered. Lower cabinets operate via a continuous Euro-style channel, which seamlessly integrates with the refrigerator panels. Upper and tall cabinets feature a mix of touch-latch and servo-driven mechanisms, enhancing accessibility while maintaining a sleek profile.
A raised bar conceals cooktop clutter during meal prep and creates a welcoming space to serve and engage with guests. The U-shaped layout was essential to keep the work zone distinct from social areas while allowing smooth movement around the kitchen.
Lighting played a central role in the design. Multiple layers of illumination, all set to a bright 5000K color temperature per the homeowners' request, include dimmable toe-kick lights and a continuous recessed light channel along the tall cabinets. These create both ambiance and high-function lighting as needed.
For entertaining large groups, the kitchen features multiple ovens and a warming drawer—perfect for entertaining. On the refrigerator wall, servo-activated countertop cabinets conceal small appliances, with the countertop surface continuing inside for easy access. A built-in, barista-quality coffee machine is nestled between these cabinets, adding a touch of luxury.
For a clean look free of visible outlets, the team installed touch-activated, pop-out Legrand outlets with three-sided access. The color was custom-matched to complement the veining in the quartz countertops.
The tall cabinet adjacent to the double oven stores everyday dishware, conveniently located for setting the nearby dining table. At the end of the peninsula, a servo-activated double trash pullout allows easy access without interfering with the cook. A dedicated utensil pullout beside it keeps tools within reach while maintaining clear countertops.

Architecture and Interior Designing has evolved significantly over the years in response to changing lifestyles, rapid urbanisation, and technological advancements. Today, the focus is no longer just on creating visually appealing spaces, but on designing environments that are intelligent, adaptable, sustainable, and deeply human-centric. Elite 18 reflects this evolution through a modern residential narrative that balances functionality, comfort, and emotional well-being.
Designed by Sandeep & Shreya Sahani, the project responds thoughtfully to the demands of contemporary urban living. As cities continue to grow denser, architecture is increasingly shifting towards smarter planning and efficient use of space. Compact yet breathable layouts, multifunctional areas, and vertical living concepts are becoming essential in modern residential developments. At Elite 18, the design approach embraces openness, fluidity, and practicality, ensuring that spaces remain functional while maintaining a sense of luxury and calm.
Changing lifestyles have also transformed the way homes are designed. With remote work and flexible routines becoming part of everyday life, modern residences now require adaptable spaces that can seamlessly support work, leisure, and social interaction. The interiors at Elite 18 are curated with clean lines, soothing tones, and uncluttered layouts that enhance comfort while supporting modern living patterns.
Technology has further reshaped architecture by introducing smarter and more responsive environments. Contemporary buildings increasingly integrate smart lighting, climate control systems, touchless features, and digital planning tools to improve convenience and efficiency. This shift towards intelligent architecture allows spaces to become more personalised and responsive to user behaviour.
Sustainability has also become a defining aspect of modern architectural thinking. With growing environmental awareness and climate concerns, architects are prioritising energy efficiency, natural ventilation, climate-responsive materials, and sustainable construction practices. At Elite 18, strategic placement of openings, balanced natural light, and thoughtful material selection contribute to a more energy-efficient and comfortable indoor environment.
Overall, architecture today is evolving beyond aesthetics to create spaces that are adaptive, environmentally responsible, and emotionally enriching. Elite 18 stands as a reflection of this transformation, where thoughtful design, sustainability, technology, and modern lifestyles come together to shape the future of urban living.

A garage is a key part of many homes. Providing storage space for cars, gardening supplies, tools, sports equipment, bikes and more, the right garage can be an essential part of a home. With an attached garage, it's much easier to get pets, kids, and groceries inside, providing seamless access to interior living space. We started this 24×24 attached two car garage with mudroom from scratch.
Find the right local pro for your project

Like any other hardworking area of your home, your garage can be an organizational powerhouse. Given the right storage elements, your garage can function as an extension of your mudroom, work bench and shed. When you create zones for organizing sports equipment, tools, or garden essentials, it’s easier to have quick access to seasonal items because they have a permanent home.

The Honeywell L404F1102 10-150 #Spdt Snap Sw.Trol is an essential component found in HVAC systems, particularly boilers, and other heating equipment. This device is used to control the boiler's water level. That operates through a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) flip switch mechanism. That works by keeping the water level and turning on the circulator pump or burner in the boiler to keep the ranges at ideal levels. Precise control over the boiler's operation can be made possible by the L404F1102, which provides effective heating while guarding against problems like overheating or damage from low water levels. This switch tool easily integrates into the system and is compatible with a variety of Honeywell and other HVAC equipment.

The client came to us wanting a more functional and visually appealing kitchen without changing the footprint of this 500 square foot condo in Queen Anne. They were frustrated by the lack of efficient storage, the outdated finishes, and a layout that didn’t make the best use of the narrow galley-like space. They also wanted to keep their favorite kitchen tools accessible without cluttering the countertops, and looked to us for a solution that felt brighter and more contemporary.
To meet their needs, we reimagined the space with custom cabinetry that goes all the way to the ceiling, providing ample storage, including a hidden spice rack. Heated tile floors were added for both comfort and luxury, and the layout was optimized to make every inch count. We brightened the kitchen with a fresh neutral toned palette and wall-mounted pot racks offered stylish storage solutions that keep essentials close at hand. The result is a highly functional space that feels, larger, updated, and more inviting. This kitchen is part of a larger remodel we did for this client which included the bathroom, sleeping, and living spaces.

This modern two-car garage is designed with organization, durability, and everyday functionality in mind. Custom full-height storage cabinetry provides ample concealed space for tools, seasonal items, and household essentials, while wall-mounted storage panels allow for flexible organization. A seamless epoxy floor finish delivers long-lasting durability and easy maintenance, complemented by bright overhead lighting for clear visibility. Clean lines, neutral tones, and thoughtful layout create a polished garage environment that feels both practical and refined—an ideal extension of this luxury rowhome.

HIGH-CONTRAST. | The distinguishing feature of Deque is its severe use of forms, reduced to the flat, wide spout. The new, low fitting lies close to the basin, directing attention to the essential element of this series - the presentation of the water. The striking thing about Deque is contrast: firstly between the gentle path of the water and the severe shape of the fitting, and secondly between the emphatically flat spout and the cylindrical control elements, a discontinuity of form that is particularly evident in the single-lever mixer. | Available at www.shopstudio41.com
