2011 CAPITAL COTY HONORABLE MENTION AWARD Located in the new Trump International Golf Course Community, this contemporary home has a great location overlooking the golf course. The current layout, however, prevented the owners from taking advantage of its breathtaking view. Goals of the remodel were to open up the first floor layout by taking down the partition walls between the kitchen and dining room. The homeowner also wanted to update the home’s galley kitchen, replacing its dark cabinets and counters. Once the walls were removed, major obstacles because they were load bearing, the new design could evolve. The ten foot ceilings provided the opportunity to stack up decorative glass cabinetry and highly crafted crown moldings on top, while maintaining a considerable amount of cabinetry right below it. The custom made brush stroke finished cabinetry with bells and whistles such as corbels and chimney style wood hood surrounded with leaded glass cabinetry. Pillars were all part of detailed craftsmanship of this project. A large 5’ x 14’ island is the focal point of the design. The island consists of main sink with a pedal style control disposal, dishwasher, microwave, second bar sink, beverage center refrigerator and still has room to sit five to six people. Its darker cabinetry provides a beautiful contrast to the opaque white cabinets on the surrounding walls. White marble counters and backsplash brighten up the kitchen and two crystal chandeliers create a timeless yet elegant feel. High-end Thermador appliances covered in custom inset panels are part of this featured project to implement the classic look the homeowner wanted for this kitchen. Finally, a featured cabinet arch with leaded glass separates the kitchen from the dining room and displays the homeowner’s fine china. Finally, large windows and French doors offer beautiful golf course views from multiple vantage points.

Composting comes with all kinds of benefits. It's economical, environmentally friendly and it keeps the world healthy for future generations. Recycling food waste in the kitchen no longer requires adopting a family of fruit flies, living with weird smells or taking multiple trips to the compost bin. The CompoKeeper's patented odor control system eliminates the presence of smelly odor and fruit flies. This patented liner-sealing technology and the 6-gallon compostable bag enable compost to be collected for a week or more indoors, preventing the need to empty contents outdoors on a daily basis.

Riluminator - Fontana Arte www.softsquare.com Riluminator is the makeover of Luminator designed by Pietro Chiesa in 1932. This lamp shares with the classic icon floor lamp not only its geometric, torch-like shape, but also the direction of its light source. Reworked in a plastic technopolymer produced with “rotation” technology, the body is cylindrical at the base, opening out as it rises to create a cone-shaped trunk that characterizes the design of the object, it houses and hides the Led light source. Riluminator is available in three contemporary colours: red, grey and white, to highlight the continuity and essentiality of unmistakable design. The light source, controlled by a pedal switch, can be regulated with a specific Led dimmer. The stem is in plastic technopolymer and the base in mechanically engineered steel. Power cable and switch in black.

Sauter Pure White Piano is a twin of our Sauter Pure Ebony but they could not be less like each other. The metal details on Sauter Pure White are matte which allows the metal to blend into the wood of the keyboard box. The mette finish on the pedals doesn’t not accentuate the lower part of the piano thus allowing it to convey a sense of air and light. The natural wood finish is a stunning contrast to the smooth and silky white of the piano’s body. The combination has a rustic flavor giving it a touch of countryside allure.

The massive chrome pedestal has inverted inlay triangles on every side and also conceals pedal mechanism – thus unifying and simplifying the overall visual statement. The black and chrome combination punctuated by triangle-derived motifs evoked Art Deco, placing this marvelously futuristic piano in the realm of the Chrysler Building of the future, or a skyscraper yet to be built.
