Dining room - modern dining room idea in New York

Calandra's Mediterranean Grill was a full renovation. Every detail was selected to update the space with a more contemporary aesthetic. At Lila Ray Designs, we believe that making a perfect contemporary space requires a balance between modern and traditional. From wallpaper to custom wine racks and paintings, every detail was selected to rejuvenate the dining room located at the Hampton Inn on Route 46 in New Jersey.

The Clients contacted Cecil Baker + Partners to reconfigure and remodel the top floor of a prominent Philadelphia high-rise into an urban pied-a-terre. The forty-five story apartment building, overlooking Washington Square Park and its surrounding neighborhoods, provided a modern shell for this truly contemporary renovation. Originally configured as three penthouse units, the 8,700 sf interior, as well as 2,500 square feet of terrace space, was to become a single residence with sweeping views of the city in all directions. The Client’s mission was to create a city home for collecting and displaying contemporary glass crafts. Their stated desire was to cast an urban home that was, in itself, a gallery. While they enjoy a very vital family life, this home was targeted to their urban activities - entertainment being a central element. The living areas are designed to be open and to flow into each other, with pockets of secondary functions. At large social events, guests feel free to access all areas of the penthouse, including the master bedroom suite. A main gallery was created in order to house unique, travelling art shows. Stemming from their desire to entertain, the penthouse was built around the need for elaborate food preparation. Cooking would be visible from several entertainment areas with a “show” kitchen, provided for their renowned chef. Secondary preparation and cleaning facilities were tucked away. The architects crafted a distinctive residence that is framed around the gallery experience, while also incorporating softer residential moments. Cecil Baker + Partners embraced every element of the new penthouse design beyond those normally associated with an architect’s sphere, from all material selections, furniture selections, furniture design, and art placement.

Don't let space limit your imagination. Espalier fruit trees have long been prized for capitalizing on small spaces and beds and defining areas as rooms. They can be ornamental or fruit-bearing plants. In this instance, apple espalier fruit trees were selected to border the driveway, to screen vehicles from the rest of the property. Strawberries planted around the trees' base as a ground cover, maximizes food production area! You can see a flagstone paver walk leads from the garage to the rest of the property.

Great kitchen! Lots of food prep area and the darker cabinets against the white counter and mosaic tile just look so classy.

Perched above the scenic apple orchards of South Glastonbury, Connecticut, this impressive Kalamazoo outdoor kitchen is an entertainers dream. The key design goals were to create a resort-inspired space that capitalized on the properties stunning views, and allowed the homeowners to entertain outdoors in comfort and style. The outdoor kitchen was created to function fully independently of the indoor kitchen, complete with a Kalamazoo Outdoor Dishwasher, ample weather-tight cabinetry, and powerful refrigeration units for both food and beverages. The K750HB Hybrid Fire Grill, built-in Cooktop Cabinet, and countertop Artisan Fire Pizza Oven were all selected for their unrivaled cooking performance and versatility. No detail was spared in this thoughtfully planned out space; the green Unicom Quartzite floor tiles were imported from Italy, and the countertops are made from lapis beige granite. The surrounding space includes an outdoor dining room, wood burning fireplace, swimming pool and a multi-purpose sports court.

Saturday June 27, 4:00 to 5:30pm | Manhattan Pool Farm by David Seiter of Future Green Studio High above Midtown Manhattan, this transformed rooftop pool is now a farm-to-table restaurant, the Press Lounge, offering guests a dazzling view of the New York City skyline. From the 19th floor of Ink Hotel, a beautifully designed edible garden is meticulously cared for to create seasonal food and drink options from ingredients grown onsite. Utilizing themes of material reuse and urban infill, this custom design and fabricated system of wood terraced planters transforms an underutilized rooftop pool into a dynamic private dining experience. The project is inspired by the structure of a sushi mat- with flexibility in one direction and rigidity in the other, the mat rolls fluidly from deck to bench to planter to wall. In an effort to make the project sustainable and cost effective, ipe wood decking was salvaged from a recent renovation and repurposed. The planting palette was selected in consultation with the restaurant’s chef, professional forager and a rooftop farmer in order to orchestrate the edible garden with unique seasonal food and drink menus.

The kitchen was at the top of the list for a total overhaul – the worn oak cabinets, dated appliances, and clunky layout all had to go. Removing the decorative soffits allowed us to take the new cabinetry all the way to the ceiling, adding functional storage and visually extending the room’s height. We reconfigured the layout from a modified U to an L-shape which accomplished several things – it opened up the kitchen to the dining room, redirected circulation, and most importantly, created space for an island. A brand new pantry was created for overflow food storage, bulk items, occasional dishware and small appliances, ensuring that our client’s goal of uncluttered countertops was achievable. The finish selections and clean lines give a nod to the home’s mid-century bones. The wood island provides warmth and the light quartz countertops, textured backsplash and white cabinets keep the kitchen feeling light and bright. We opted to install open shelving above the sink which provides display space and needed storage without the bulkiness of an overhead cabinet. The matte black faucet, hardware and decorative pendants add another level of visual interest to the modern kitchen. To unify the kitchen and dining room, we replaced the drab kitchen flooring with select red oak hardwoods that were expertly installed and refinished to match the gorgeous wood flooring throughout the home.
