Transitional, transitional, transitional. This kitchen renovation started with the appliances; BlueStar 36" range, Best 900 cfm hood, 2 Bosch dishwashers, and Electrolux side-by-side refrigeration. The appliances were placed utilizing functionality and practicality. The kitchen also utilizes a main Kraus sink and commercial faucet as well as a Kraus island sink with a Grohe kitchen pull-out facet matching and flanking a smaller Grohe faucet which utilizes a fresh water filtration system. White shaker cabinetry is the bulk of the kitchen accompanied by a custom grey raised panel element with chrome wire mesh accenting the glass doors. Custom open shelving niches were used to tie the white kitchen into the grey element, and at the same time creating another visual cue. Vicostone (quartz) accents the island which features the use of waterfall effect (continuing the counter-top material down to the floor). ColorQuartz (quartz) was used at the perimeter and on the grey accent piece as well, also using the waterfall effect. The backsplash was done in Turkish White Marble, as every piece was custom cut and laid in a vertical chevron pattern. Cliffside Industry hardware was used combining ice-box and linear finger-pull hardware on the grey accent piece, and cup-pulls and knobs on the perimeter which all pop while the chrome finish reflects the light and appears to sparkle. A decorative ceiling displays an abundance of 4" recess lighting with Halo Reflector trims as well as two decorative pendants. Accent lighting is completed in Hafele's 12volt system with the use of chrome LED puck lighting. The family room boasts another piece that melds with the kitchen, which displays two different width of bead board for another visual effect.

The design of this master bathroom is set to compliment the natural stone slab floor that sets the tone for this room. Because the entire second floor of the house was renovated into a master suite, the client requested an open concept plan for the entire suite. This allowed Equilibrium to increase the floor area of the bathroom and design an incredible statement piece which is the floor. Honey onyx slabs were cut into oversized tiles to make them more manageable and installed in a diamond pattern preserving continuity of lines from tile to tile, and slab to slab. Furthermore, what otherwise would be waste cut material, it was chiseled, flamed, and fabricated into custom mosaic installed on the back wall of the bathroom and on shower floor. To ensure Client’s safety, slabs were treated with anti slippage treatment and shower floor was finished with matching mosaic. Client requested that the shower is oversized and feels like showering under a waterfall. This was accomplished by running four separate water lines to feed the shower plumbing. When the two oversized rain heads, two shower heads, and six water jets are all on, you get the feeling of being under a natural waterfall in the Amazon. Non of this would be possible in today’s water starved world if it wasn’t for harvesting and special filtration system installed on this property that allows recirculation of water. Variation of lighting types allows for various theme settings, and energy efficient LED lighting further enhance the beauty of this bathroom with minimum energy consumption. Even edges of slabs were polished to ensure maximum light refraction with beveled seams that create purposeful patterns instead of hiding seams. Shower doors were etched with a pattern that adds dimension and provides privacy while complimenting the mosaic pattern on the back wall. The double sink vanity was floated off the floor allowing for maximum visibility of this artistic installation. It was made of rosewood and designed with three sections for drawers and storage. The three levels create a scalloping effect allowing each to be illuminated by LED lights which reflect elegantly in the onyx slab floor. Complimented by honey onyx top, and placed against a 42” high onyx wainscot, it is a functional and beautiful millwork. This master bathroom is a testament to engineering, originality, and beauty seen in every detail.

This home’s kitchen isn’t large and needed to somehow hold a mudroom area as the detached garage enters into the space. I carefully planned out all storage needs and we were able to add a wide, double door cabinet closet by the back door. The upper area holds coats and clutter. The lower doors have hooks and boot trays for backpacks and shoes. Paneling the Subzero fridge helps with softening the weight of the large appliance, as does the panel on the dishwasher. Little details like the skirt on the toe area and the beautiful hood and island posts make this smaller work space truly special!

Futuro Futuro’s 36-Inch Amalfi Wall Range Hood has a strict cubist design made with innovative technology, high quality materials, and premium Italian craftsmanship perfectly fit for adding a modern flair to any kitchen. As an impeccable combination of form and function, this hood will always look great and function flawlessly. The Amalfi series is built and designed to last with a style that will never get old. When Futuro Futuro makes any of their kitchen hoods they keep only one thing in mind, quality. The Amalfi series is made with the finest Italian craftsmanship and high grade AISI 304 Stainless Steel. Even though AISI 304 Stainless Steel was originally made to stand up to the high stress of aircrafts, it makes the perfect material for kitchen hoods. An exceptionally high resistance to rust and corrosion makes for a hood that will last a lifetime. To keep your kitchen clean and fresh no matter what you’re cooking, the Amalfi series uses a high powered 940 CFM Internal Whisper tangential blower. This blower alone would make for a quiet hood that would satisfy most users, but Futuro Futuro doesn’t stop there. They implemented a cutting edge multi-layered sound absorbing panel, so you won’t even notice when your kitchen hood is running until you take a deep breath of fresh air. A perimeter suction filtration system provides highly effective filtration while concealing the metal mesh grease filters behind a sleek panel keeping in line with a strict cubist design. This system draws air to the edges of the hood creating an air curtain around your stovetop to ensure all of the smoke, grease, and smells are fully filtered. The illuminated, electronic control panel even sends you a convenient reminder when it’s time to clean the easily removable, dishwasher safe filters. You can also use any of the features packed into this hood with the simple push of a button. With two long lasting, energy efficient LED lights you’ll never be wondering whether or not your medium-rare steak is cooked to perfection again. The lights are perfectly positioned to create a focus on your stovetop that diffuses out to the rest of your kitchen. The 36-Inch Amalfi Wall Range Hood has a strict cubist design perfect for adding a modern flair to any kitchen. Made with premium Italian craftsmanship, the highest quality materials available, and innovative technology, this hood is built to last. https://futurofuturo.com/36-amalfi-wall-range-hood/
