This stunning kitchen transformation in Papworth Everard makes the most of Crown’s latest colours with clever storage and top-spec finishes throughout.
For this project, the goal was a full kitchen refresh – something that felt modern, well-built and practical for everyday use. From layout to colour, every detail was carefully chosen to suit the home and the people living in it.
We used Crown Imperial’s Midsomer range in their newly launched Dove Grey and Mercury colours – likely making these clients the first in the UK to enjoy the updated larder door palette. It’s a soft, timeless combination that gives the kitchen a clean, fresh look with just the right amount of depth.
This kitchen is more than just good looking as it’s packed with clever solutions to keep everything neat and organised. Blum Space Towers and Nuvola corner pullouts help maximise every inch of space, while Cimstone Sierra Quartz worktops, Franke sinks, a Quooker Flex tap, and NEFF appliances bring both durability and everyday ease.
We managed the full installation, bringing in trusted partners to get every part just right. That included plumbing, electrics (with T24 Electrical), plastering, flooring from Mandarin Stone, and worktops by The Marble Group. Everything handled, all the way through.
This kitchen feels special – not just for how it looks, but because of the thought that’s gone into every decision. With the latest Crown colours, quality materials, and a layout that just works, it’s a real upgrade for a beautiful home.

This compact condo kitchen features a smart use of space with a streamlined design, utilizing a palette of white and blue cabinetry to create a contemporary feel. The upper cabinets have frosted glass inserts, adding a touch of modern elegance and helping to lighten the space visually.

Light wood vinyl flooring extends throughout, complementing the neutral color scheme. Overall, this kitchen blends style and practicality, optimizing the limited space available in a condo setting

This elegant transitional kitchen remodel by Performance Kitchens & Home showcases the perfect blend of soft, light perimeter cabinetry paired with a bold dark island for dramatic contrast. Marble-inspired quartz countertops elevate the space with timeless luxury, while modern pendant lighting and a coffered ceiling add architectural interest.
A spacious center island provides generous seating, prep space, and storage, making it ideal for both everyday meals and entertaining. Stainless steel appliances, custom hood detailing, and high-efficiency layouts ensure top-tier performance. Subtle textures — including light stone backsplash tiles and warm wood flooring — tie the entire space together for a balanced, sophisticated look.
Designed with both beauty and practicality in mind, this remodel offers the comfort of a family-friendly layout with the refinement of high-end design, making it one of the most inviting kitchen upgrades for homeowners.

This contemporary custom home was designed to emphasize clean architectural lines, expansive natural light, and a strong connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. Large floor-to-ceiling windows, elevated outdoor decks, and carefully balanced exterior materials help create a modern aesthetic while still feeling warm and livable within the surrounding Pacific Northwest landscape.
The homeowners played a significant role throughout the design process, working closely with Pacific Home Source to shape the overall layout, functionality, and architectural direction of the home. Every space was thoughtfully considered to support both everyday living and entertaining, while maximizing views, openness, and natural light throughout the residence.
The project combines modern design principles with practical family-focused living, resulting in a home that feels refined, comfortable, and highly personalized to the clients’ vision. From the dramatic glazing and open living areas to the seamless outdoor integration, this residence reflects a collaborative design process and a shared commitment to creating a timeless contemporary Northwest home.

For this project, the goals were straight forward - a low energy, low maintenance home that would allow the "60 something couple” time and money to enjoy all their interests. Accessibility was also important since this is likely their last home. In the end the style is minimalist, but the raw, natural materials add texture that give the home a warm, inviting feeling.
The home has R-67.5 walls, R-90 in the attic, is extremely air tight (0.4 ACH) and is oriented to work with the sun throughout the year. As a result, operating costs of the home are minimal. The HVAC systems were chosen to work efficiently, but not to be complicated. They were designed to perform to the highest standards, but be simple enough for the owners to understand and manage.
The owners spend a lot of time camping and traveling and wanted the home to capture the same feeling of freedom that the outdoors offers. The spaces are practical, easy to keep clean and designed to create a free flowing space that opens up to nature beyond the large triple glazed Passive House windows. Built-in cubbies and shelving help keep everything organized and there is no wasted space in the house - Enough space for yoga, visiting family, relaxing, sculling boats and two home offices.
The most frequent comment of visitors is how relaxed they feel. This is a result of the unique connection to nature, the abundance of natural materials, great air quality, and the play of light throughout the house.
The exterior of the house is simple, but a striking reflection of the local farming environment. The materials are low maintenance, as is the landscaping. The siting of the home combined with the natural landscaping gives privacy and encourages the residents to feel close to local flora and fauna.

Modern Citi Group helped Paul remodel his newly purchased apartment in a prime Upper East Side location. This exciting renovation project included renovation of the kitchen and dining room, bathroom, living room and bedroom.
Our design team faced the challenge of balancing modern and classic aesthetics with a strict budget. After exploring multiple design options and visualizations, Paul chose a design that best suited his vision.
The construction team masterfully brought the vision to life, fully remodeling each room in the apartment while preserving and revitalizing select original fixtures.
The kitchen underwent a significant transformation with a reconfigured layout, featuring an additional wall of cabinets along the window wall and a wet bar in the dining room that seamlessly extended the kitchen’s footprint. These updates enhanced storage capacity, improved ergonomic functionality, and elevated the overall aesthetic.
In the bedroom, the layout was redesigned to include an extra-tall closet, while the existing closet was repurposed to house a washer and dryer accessible from the hallway.
The kitchen was outfitted with solid wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a durable porcelain tile floor.
The bathroom was reimagined with luxurious new tiling, contemporary fixtures, and upgraded plumbing and lighting. A spacious double vanity was added, providing ample storage, alongside an elegant alcove bath-shower combination.
Throughout the apartment, our team refinished the floors, walls, and ceilings, upgraded plumbing and electrical systems, and installed additional lighting and closet organization. These updates optimized the flow and functionality of the space.
In just a few months, Modern Citi Group transformed an outdated apartment into a stunning, functional home. The remodel perfectly blends style, comfort, and practicality, reflecting the refined character of its prime Upper East Side location.

We helped Miki and David successfully execute a bathroom and kitchen remodel for their Co-op in New York City. The primary objective was to enhance the sense of space, functionality, and style while keeping the project on track and on budget.
To kickstart the project, Anna, the highly skilled project planner, conducted a thorough walkthrough with Miki and David. During the meeting, she captured their vision, outlined a realistic timeline, and carefully considered their budgetary restrictions.
Anna made sure to grasp their aspirations of modernizing the kitchen and bathroom, aiming to elevate both the aesthetics and practicality while incorporating a bespoke design tailored to their desires.
The design challenge was to modernize the outdated kitchen and bathroom while maintaining a budget-friendly approach. The clients opted for a Scandinavian style, featuring neutral olive green colors, stone, and natural wood materials. The designers explored various layouts to maximize functionality and accommodate the clients' preferences, providing Miki and David with multiple options. Eventually, the family made their design choices and felt assured as they entered the construction phase.
During the building phase, the construction team completed a gut renovation of the kitchen and bathroom, replacing ceilings, walls, floors, and all fixtures. The result was a stunning custom kitchen designed in the Scandinavian style featuring matte grey-green cabinetry, natural wood open shelving, a built-in pantry and appliances, and Vivid White Quartz countertops. The combination of sage base cabinets with grey undertones and modern, natural wood structures created a neutral and earthy impression, while the smooth white wall cabinets and countertops added a sleek and airy touch to the space.
The bathroom renovation encompassed a full remodel, with all fixtures being replaced. A custom-ordered vanity in a matching grey-green shade was installed, along with the Maiolica White Polished Ceramic Wall Tile and Kohler and Delta fixtures. Within a few short weeks, Miki and David's new kitchen and bathroom were transformed to align perfectly with their style and vision, while significantly enhancing functionality.

The Ascenda Through-the-Floor Elevator makes adding accessibility between floors easier. Its compact, space-saving design travels through a floor opening without requiring a traditional elevator shaft, helping reduce construction requirements and overall project complexity. Ideal for homes, offices, churches, and other spaces where a conventional elevator isn't practical, Ascenda delivers convenient vertical access in a streamlined, customizable package.

These homeowners had an empty nook in their dining room that became a space for the cats food and water bowls but really wasn’t pretty or very practical. They reached out to us to help them come up with a custom version of the idea she had in her head: something to handle a coffee bar, feed her cats, and display her cherished plate collection. Marty and Andy were up to the task! After selecting the perfect color for the cabinetry and shelves, Marty went hunting for the perfect unique stone look with black/charcoal tones. She found the perfect remnant piece, and it was love at first sight! The sun turned the Raven Soapstone’s natural pyrite in gold! Every square inch was designed to accommodate everything they wanted and more. Even the cats felt it was the perfect spot for munching, drinking and lounging.

This kitchen remodel features a modern mix of white oak kitchen cabinets, white upper cabinets, marble-look countertops, and a waterfall island that creates a clean and sophisticated open-concept layout. The design focuses on balance, combining warm natural wood tones with bright white finishes for a modern kitchen that feels both elegant and functional. Open shelving, sleek hardware, and streamlined cabinetry help maximize storage while keeping the overall look minimal and uncluttered. Designed by The Cabination, this project reflects a contemporary kitchen design approach centered on clean lines, practical storage, and timeless material contrast for everyday living.
