Astro Design Inc.The client wished to have a kitchen that was elegant but still proved to be an ideal space to raise their family.
An open concept living, dining and kitchen with large windows looking out into the forest welcomes plenty of natural light into the space. This layout allows the designer to work more freely and design
a kitchen that is simple yet elegant.
Through the use of a neutral colour palette with a hint of a blue under tone on the finish of the island cabinetry and hood, the designer further opens up the space and emphasizes the high ceiling.
This helps draw and welcome guests and family into the kitchen. The detail of the double shaker door style on the cabinets offers a contemporary or transitional style. This gives a sense of familiarity making the space feel more at home.

ROAM ArchitectureA majestic addition to a modest cape home
Tucked into a tree-lined street in Rockland County, this once-modest gambrel cape was reimagined to meet the evolving needs of a growing family while preserving its familiar charm. The transformation includes a new two-car garage with a gambrel-roofed addition above, a welcoming front porch, and a complete interior and exterior renovation. Together, these elements bring a new sense of balance, presence, and grace — a modern evolution of classic suburban form.
Inside, walls were opened and rooms reconnected to invite light and ease of movement. The kitchen, once small and uninviting, now anchors the first floor — a warm and generous hub where family life unfolds from morning to night. Living, dining, and work spaces flow naturally, supporting both connection and quiet.
Above the new garage, a serene primary suite offers retreat and rhythm, gently elevated above the hum of daily life. With its expanded front porch, refined roofline, and carefully layered materials, the home feels renewed yet rooted — a timeless composition of family, comfort, and place.
BertazzoniInspired by the original wood burning stoves that our founder created at the start of the last century, the Heritage Series ranges are controlled by striking rounded chrome knobs. Familiar and comfortable to use, they are a key part of the design character of the series.
Veneta Cucine Coral GablesNEWPORT
Brings to the kitchen that bygone style of a time when the house shared a special familiarity with nature. The oak slatted door with pinstripe finish or open-pore lacquer are especially expressive of this theme. The polished metal knob or handles allow for an individual touch to personalize the setting. The mood expressed by Newport is one of excellence and solidity, qualities that emerge in the color and in the steel finishes that complete the compositions.
Drapery StreetThe great room is the heart and soul of this house. It is a spacious room with lofty barn ceilings. While it can accommodate large gatherings, it feels intimate. The shiplap wall, barn doors, and large fireplace give the room a cozy familiar feel. The furniture mixes pattern and texture for another layer of coziness. The window treatments in this room are Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades. They provide UV protection and light control while maintaining the view of the golf course.

This home went from "blah" to beautiful with the addition of a deck and lush, California native plantings. All that boring, time-consuming lawn is gone, making room for bids, bees, and butterflies. Now this garden is a fit habitat for a much wider range of party animals!

Dresner Design | Chicago Custom Kitchens CabinetsDresner Design possesses the expertise to design cutting edge, cost-effective kitchens, baths and closets for developer’s multi-unit projects. They were recently part of the design team for The Ronsley, River North's best new luxury condominium development. This former industrial timber loft building was transformed into an incredible 41-unit building, and Dresner Design was hired to design both the kitchens and baths using Italian cabinetry from Stosa Cucine. Challenges: All the units were the same but with varying configurations. The goal was to make all the units feel and look the same but each of the layouts was different- making 30 layouts in all. Concept: The kitchens and baths were designed to be sleek and modern, blending in with the loft style. The kitchen islands fabricated with wood compliments the wood ceilings and beams typical of loft living. White kitchens are always timeless and the Ronsley used the most beautiful and high-end cabinetry made of 100% lacquer. Photography by Jim Tschetter
Annie Santulli DesignsMixing contemporary style with traditional architectural features, allowed us to put a fresh new face, while keeping the familiar warm comforts. Multiple conversation areas that are cozy and intimate break up the vast open floor plan, allowing the homeowners to enjoy intimate gatherings or host grand events. Matching white conversation couches were used in the living room to section the large space without closing it off. A wet bar was built in the corner of the living room with custom glass cabinetry and leather bar stools. Carrera marble was used throughout to coordinate with the traditional architectural features. And, a mixture of metallics were used to add a touch of modern glam.
SpacejoyThis inviting living room encapsulates traditional design with its rich texture and a soothing palette. The plush, neutral-toned Perigold sectional exudes comfort, with blue accents adding a regal touch that elevates the ensemble. Centering the room, Crate & Barrel’s troupe square pine wood coffee table stands as a hallmark of classic style, surrounded by seating that beckons guests to linger. Black-framed artwork adds visual interest, creating a gallery-like effect that’s both personal and elegant. The fireplace, a timeless feature, anchors the living space with its warm presence. This traditional living room with blue accents is a curated blend of the familiar and the sophisticated—ideal for moments of leisure and gracious hosting.

UserThis 7,500 square feet home, situated on a waterfront site in Sag Harbor, New York, was designed as a shared vacation home for four brothers and their families. A collaborative effort between the clients and Cecil Baker + Partners yielded a contemporary home that pays homage to the Eastern Long Island vernacular.
The home is composed of three distinct volumes that step back from one another to optimize both the water view and privacy. The two outer wings take on familiar cedar-clad, pitched roof geometry while the central three-story glass box links them together and anchors the home. The two car garage, with a private living space above, projects from the main house via a breezeway, defining a private garden.
The interior of the home integrates warm, tactile materials and clean modern lines. The use of full-height windows, floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, and an operable overhead glass door creates an indoor-outdoor living experience and floods the home with natural light. The subtle choreography of the interior space lends flexibility to the Client for both social and private uses of the home.
The first floor contains an open plan for the kitchen, living room, dining area and sunroom, and the second floor includes two full master suites facing the bay, a guest room with spectacular water views, and a children's room that overlooks the garden. The fully finished basement holds a large playroom, a gym, a full spa bath and a wine cellar. In addition, views in all directions are unobstructed from a third floor roof terrace.
