This photo: For a couple's house in Paradise Valley, architect C.P. Drewett created a sleek modern kitchen with Caesarstone counters and tile backsplashes from Art Stone LLC. Porcelain-tile floors from Villagio Tile & Stone provide contrast to the dark-stained vertical-grain white-oak cabinetry fabricated by Reliance Custom Cabinets. Positioned near the base of iconic Camelback Mountain, “Outside In” is a modernist home celebrating the love of outdoor living Arizonans crave. The design inspiration was honoring early territorial architecture while applying modernist design principles. Dressed with undulating negra cantera stone, the massing elements of “Outside In” bring an artistic stature to the project’s design hierarchy. This home boasts a first (never seen before feature) — a re-entrant pocketing door which unveils virtually the entire home’s living space to the exterior pool and view terrace. A timeless chocolate and white palette makes this home both elegant and refined. Oriented south, the spectacular interior natural light illuminates what promises to become another timeless piece of architecture for the Paradise Valley landscape.

2011 EcoHome Design Award Winner Key to the successful design were the homeowner priorities of family health, energy performance, and optimizing the walk-to-town construction site. To maintain health and air quality, the home features a fresh air ventilation system with energy recovery, a whole house HEPA filtration system, radiant & radiator heating distribution, and low/no VOC materials. The home’s energy performance focuses on passive heating/cooling techniques, natural daylighting, an improved building envelope, and efficient mechanical systems, collectively achieving overall energy performance of 50% better than code. To address the site opportunities, the home utilizes a footprint that maximizes southern exposure in the rear while still capturing the park view in the front.

Kitchen - transitional l-shaped medium tone wood floor kitchen idea in Boston with recessed-panel cabinets, blue cabinets, white backsplash, ceramic backsplash and an island

Organized drawers, like these. make cooking easier. These great cooks needed a space that allowed for entertaining and multiple work zones. Storage was optimized and is efficient with pull-outs and dividers. The kitchen has almost doubled in size and now includes two dishwashers for easy clean up. Lighting was appointed with sparkling pendants, task lighting under cabinets and even the island has a soft glow. A happy space with room to work and entertain.

PLACEMENT
The main living area runs East-West and enjoys extensive views of the magnificent cannels. The kitchen has been designed ensuring the best possible use of the stunning outlook.
Included in the client brief was the integration of the kitchen into the adjoining rooms being the meals and living area. The inclusion of the matching timber veneer shelves creates visual flow from the kitchen into the meals dining area and the use of natural materials and finishes in the kitchen combines well with clients existing furniture creating harmony within the space.

As requested by the client the kitchen has been designed to ensure that it is open and inviting to guests when entertaining whilst the large scullery provides the perfect hide away area for everyday items and appliances that can tend to clutter a kitchen.
LAYOUT & ZONES
A number of work zones with in the kitchen ensures the space operates efficiently at all times. The integrated frige/freezer and cooking appliances have been grouped together and placed in easy to reach heights specifically requested by the client. The appliances have been placed at one end of the island bench along the same wall that houses the pantry / scullery. This makes unloading the shopping effortless and keeps footsteps to a minimum.
The cleaning zone is located in the island bench allowing multiple users to undertake different tasks simultaneously. An additional sink has been placed in the scullery to assist with cleaning duties and to ensure the kitchen remains uncluttered when entertaining guests.
The cooking zone incorporates a 3.8m long custom made stainless steel profiled bench top. Stainless steel has been selected as it is the ultimate surface in terms of hygiene, heat resistant and food preparation for cooking.
Benchtop heights were designed at 900mm ensuring comfortable ergonomic working heights for the clients.
The dry bar and beverage centre has been placed at the entertaining end of the kitchen to avoid interruption to the kitchen workflows.
STORAGE
Storage has been well considered in this kitchen with a huge walk in scullery providing ample space for groceries as well as specific areas that have been custom designed to house items such as recipe books, small appliances and cutting boards. Every storage item has been thoughtfully located in terms of function and frequency of use.
Storage space has been optimized with the use of easy access drawers using Blum’s slow motion drawers. Again the kitchen has been fitted out with the full range of Blum organizational accessories including plate racks, spice racks as well as ‘orgaline’ for cutlery and utensil.
FINSIHES
While the residence boasts resort style living, one of the main requests of the owners was to include luxurious finishes that differed to your “standard 2-pac kitchen”. A combination of different textures and finishes were incorporated to ensure high esthetic qualities as well as top performance.
Gorgeous marble bench tops give the impression of elegance whilst adding character and a sense of light to the room. Adding to the visual appeal is the textured veneer as a dominant feature in the cabinetry. The natural feel of the veneer complements the honed travertine natural flooring whilst also creating eye catching contrast with the aluminum glass frame doors and custom stainless steel bench tops.
The absence of handles emphasizes the streamline and minalistic appeal of the kitchen. 25mm board was used throughout to enable a reversed rebated handle that still remained functional as a result of the extra thickness.
The incorporation of the mirror splash back not only adds to the sense of space but ensures nothing is taken away the sophisticated simplicity that this kitchen already boasts.
APPLIANCES
In keeping with the seamless minimalistic design, the kitchen incorporates a range of integrated appliances including an integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher. The selected range of stainless steel Miele appliances enhance the cutting edge look whilst providing all the functional requirements of the clients healthy cooking style.
LIGHTING
Natural lighting is maximised with the inclusion of floor to ceiling glass stacker doors which run the entire length of the room as well as the specifically requested “bunker windows” placed in the splash backs (fire resistant glaze - in accordance with AS5601, Clause 5.12.1)
Downlights have been thoughtfully placed throughout the kitchen bulkhead and overhead cabinets to illuminate task areas and work surfaces. Low energy pendent lights have been used above the meals / dining area creating a sense of ambience. Finished with a stunning tulle fabric these feature pendent lights balance and complement the harder finishes in the room.

Located in Pennsylvania horse country on the slope of a family farm, the Nagy residence is a modern farmhouse designed for a modern family. Like historic farmhouses, the Nagy home has an orientation and floorplan that optimizes passive heating and cooling. But unlike farmhouses which did not have the benefit of high-performance glass and insulation, the Nagy home is flooded with daylight in each room. Warm, natural materials reflect the surrounding site while clean detailing gives them a more modern aesthetic. Photos by: Don Pearse Photographers, Inc.

Kitchen - contemporary kitchen idea in Other with flat-panel cabinets and beige cabinets

This lovely kitchen was designed to optimize the space and flow of a home that was built in the 1950's. We created the kitchen to sit gracefully in the center of the living space. With the inclusion of an over-sized island and ceiling height cabinets we created a great flow for you to step into from the family room. Creative placement of two windows in the white subway tile back-splash and a frosted door for the walk in pantry are just a few of the details that set this kitchen apart.

Welcome to our latest kitchen renovation project, where classic French elegance meets contemporary design in the heart of Great Falls, VA. In this transformation, we aim to create a stunning kitchen space that exudes sophistication and charm, capturing the essence of timeless French style with a modern twist. Our design centers around a harmonious blend of light gray and off-white tones, setting a serene and inviting backdrop for this kitchen makeover. These neutral hues will work in harmony to create a calming ambiance and enhance the natural light, making the kitchen feel open and welcoming. To infuse a sense of nature and add a striking focal point, we have carefully selected green cabinets. The rich green hue, reminiscent of lush gardens, brings a touch of the outdoors into the space, creating a unique and refreshing visual appeal. The cabinets will be thoughtfully placed to optimize both functionality and aesthetics. The heart of this project lies in the eye-catching French-style range and exquisite light fixture. The hood, adorned with intricate detailing, will become a captivating centerpiece above the cooking area. Its classic charm will evoke the grandeur of French country homes, while also providing efficient ventilation for a pleasant cooking experience.
