Example of a trendy kitchen design in New York

This was a major remodel where the kitchen was completely gutted, flooring and soffits were removed and all the electrical in the kitchen had to be reworked and brought up to code. We used Waypoint Living Spaces for the perimeter cabinets and used a riser and crown molding to connect the cabinets to the ceiling. We chose Medallion Cabinetry for the island because the customer had her heart set on a green painted island. The hardware we used is from the Mulholland collection by Amerock. The customers have large family gathers and it was very important for them to have an island that was moveable. We used casters from Richelieu to create and island that could move easily, as well as having brakes to keep the island in place when they wanted. Giallo Traversella granite was used on the perimeter countertops to tie together the greens and beige tones of the cabinetry and we used John Boos, walnut butcher block countertop for the island to compliment wood tones from the existing millwork in the home. The customer provided me with an inspiration picture for a backsplash, she knew she wanted a glass patterned backsplash. Ceramic Tiles International had released their Debut Petal mosaic tile and the customer loved it. Prior to the remodel, the kitchen was very dark and very crowded, it did not function in a way that worked for my customer. We added under cabinet LED lights, one general ceiling fixture and LED Brio Disc lights with dimming capabilities so the customers could adjust the lighting to their specific needs. Light fixtures were updated in the hallways as well as the kitchen. My customer didn’t know exactly what they wanted as far as plumbing was concerned. They wanted products that were durable and easy to maintain. I chose the Blanco Performa undermount sink in the Truffle color due to is durability and the color complimented the other materials. We used Moen’s Arbor single handle pull down spray faucet and transitional soap dispenser due to its simplistic design, functionality and warranty. We used a ¾ horsepower Insinkerator disposal and a deluxe Steamball strainer basket. The customer originally had Parquet flooring and they liked the look of real hardwood. Madeira 5” planks in Dark Gunstock oak was chosen for its color and durability. The flooring brought in warm neutral tones to compliment other materials. My customer wanted a larger window, but they had some safety concerns. We addressed their concerns by providing a larger Awning style window, using tempered glass and double locks.

Design Statement: My design challenge was to create and build a new ultra modern kitchen with a futuristic flare. This state of the art kitchen was to be equipped with an ample amount of usable storage and a better view of the outside while balancing design and function. Some of the project goals were to include the following; a multi-level island with seating for four people, dramatic use of lighting, state of the art appliances, a generous view of the outside and last but not least, to create a kitchen space that looks like no other...”The WOW Factor”. This challenging project was a completely new design and full renovation. The existing kitchen was outdated and in desperate need help. My new design required me to remove existing walls, cabinetry, flooring, plumbing, electric…a complete demolition. My job functions were to be the interior designer, GC, electrician and a laborer. Construction and Design The existing kitchen had one small window in it like many kitchens. The main difficulty was…how to create more windows while gaining more cabinet storage. As a designer, our clients require us to think out of the box and give them something that they may have never dreamed of. I did just that. I created two 8’ glass backsplashes (with no visible supports) on the corner of the house. This was not easy task, engineering of massive blind headers and lam beams were used to support the load of the new floating walls. A generous amount of 48” high wall cabinets flank the new walls and appear floating in air seamlessly above the glass backsplash. Technology and Design The dramatic use of the latest in LED lighting was used. From color changing accent lights, high powered multi-directional spot lights, decorative soffit lights, under cabinet and above cabinet LED tape lights…all to be controlled from wall panels or mobile devises. A built-in ipad also controls not only the lighting, but a climate controlled thermostat, house wide music streaming with individually controlled zones, alarm system, video surveillance system and door bell. Materials and design Large amounts of glass and gloss; glass backsplash, iridescent glass tiles, raised glass island counter top, Quartz counter top with iridescent glass chips infused in it. 24” x 24” high polished porcelain tile flooring to give the appearance of water or glass. The custom cabinets are high gloss lacquer with a metallic fleck. All doors and drawers are Blum soft-close. The result is an ultra sleek and highly sophisticated design. Appliances and design All appliances were chosen for the ultimate in sleekness. These appliances include: a 48” built-in custom paneled subzero refrigerator/freezer, a built-in Miele dishwasher that is so quiet that it shoots a red led light on the floor to let you know that its on., a 36” Miele induction cook top and a built-in 200 bottle wine cooler. Some other cool features are the led kitchen faucet that changes color based on the water temperature. A stainless and glass wall hood with led lights. All duct work was built into the stainless steel toe kicks and grooves were cut into it to release airflow. Photography by Mark Oser

This dining room operates as a processional volume, choreographed along a deep axial sightline that terminates not in a wall but in a garden — an ivy-clad plane of green glimpsed through full-height glazing. The architecture is fundamentally additive rather than decorative: a coffered, stepped ceiling plane with recessed reveal channels floats above the seating zone, its subtle datum lines describing a rectangular "room within a room" that anchors the table without recourse to enclosing partitions. Flanking this central passage, two millwork pylons — one clad in pale limed oak on the right, one in a fine bone-toned wallcovering on the left — function as vestigial pilasters, compressing the entry threshold before releasing into the loftier dining volume. The floor reinforces this directionality through a wide-plank chevron parquet laid on the primary axis, its herringbone rhythm accelerating the eye toward the terrace. The furniture plan is deliberately non-orthogonal: an elongated oval table on twin cylindrical pedestals softens the room's rectilinear discipline, while the loosely arrayed chairs break parade-ground symmetry in favor of a more inhabited, gestural composition. Deep-set corner windows and a low banquette-height sill with integrated casework at left introduce a secondary spatial episode, a quieter alcove that relieves the room's axial insistence. ## II. Materiality, Color & Texture The palette is a study in warm neutrality calibrated across a narrow tonal band, with contrast delivered through texture rather than hue. The foundational register is greige-to-oatmeal: floor-to-ceiling drapery in a heavy, densely gathered linen falls in pin-sharp cartridge pleats, its matte drape absorbing light and softening the glass wall's hard geometry. Against this, the dining chairs are upholstered in a slubbed, striated fabric — likely a raw silk or abaca-like bast fiber — whose horizontal grain reads almost as bark, and which is set in taut opposition to the ebonized, tapered hardwood frames in the Italian mid-century idiom of Gio Ponti or Ico Parisi. The tabletop, a mottled verdigris-and-bronze stone or fossilized surface, introduces the room's only earth-toned saturation, echoed by the burl-and-walnut plinth supporting a slender fluted bronze sculpture. The oak millwork is limed and open-grained, deliberately dry and tactile beside the high-polish patinated brass of the pendant. Underfoot, a hand-knotted silk rug in cloud-grey with charcoal ombré edges introduces atmospheric perspective — a painterly gradient that dematerializes the floor plane. Chromatic release arrives entirely from two sources: the framed abstract expressionist canvas at right, with its viridian, cobalt and violet gestural detonations, and the living wall of ivy beyond the glass. Both function as color events, not color schemes. ## III. Lighting, Atmosphere & Style Profile Daylight is the primary luminaire here, entering as a broad, north-soft wash through the terrace glazing and diffused further by the ivy screen, which acts as a natural lambrequin filtering glare into a cool, even green-tinted light. Artificial sources are deployed sculpturally rather than functionally: the pendant — a folded, petal-form composition of smoked glass and patinated metal — reads as a suspended object of art, throwing a warm downward pool onto the table while its dark bronze silhouette provides essential visual weight against the white ceiling. Wall-mounted alabaster sconces bracket the room at both thresholds, their translucent stone glowing with a low-lumen, candle-adjacent warmth that establishes perimeter intimacy after dusk. The resulting atmosphere is serene, curated and quietly patrician — a room engineered for extended conversation rather than display. Stylistically, the project synthesizes a **contemporary Soft Minimalism** with a strongly collected **Mid-Century Italian** sensibility: the restraint of the architectural envelope and monochromatic textile program provides a gallery-like neutral ground, upon which a small number of high-character objects — the sculptural pendant, the Ponti-esque seating, the abstract canvas, the exterior stone sculpture — perform as museum-grade punctuation. It is an interior that achieves luxury through material integrity and negative space rather than ornament.

**Paragraph 1: Spatial Composition & Architectural Volume** This dressing vestibule is an exercise in the choreography of compression and release — a narrow processional corridor that opens onto a shallow window alcove, terminating the sightline in a single, deliberately staged tableau. The plan is organized between two parallel planes of full-height joinery: at left, a monumental run of flush-faced wardrobe doors executed in bespoke decorative panelling, and at right, a mirror-clad pier whose reflective face doubles the room's apparent width and recapitulates the window, the bench, and the herringbone floor in a quiet trompe-l'oeil. The millwork is detailed with an admirable restraint — reveal-shadow gaps rather than architraves, concealed pivot hinges, and slim bronze-toned frames that read as drawn lines rather than mouldings. Overhead, a stepped soffit and recessed cornice detail lower the datum at the corridor, then release into the fuller ceiling height of the alcove; the effect is subtly perspectival, drawing the eye toward the luminous aperture. The punched window, generously reveal-deep and set within a wide oak surround, functions less as a view and more as a light well, its frosted glazing dissolving the exterior into pure illuminated field. The upholstered bench, centered beneath it and flanked casually by a pair of double-monk shoes, provides the anthropometric anchor — a note of inhabited scale that keeps the geometry from tipping into abstraction. **Paragraph 2: Materiality, Color & Texture** The palette operates within an exceptionally disciplined tonal register — a graduated field of oyster, greige, bone, and pale putty, all sharing a warm mineral undertone that prevents the achromatic scheme from turning cold. The hero surface is undoubtedly the wardrobe fronts: a hand-applied, gesso-like plaster or lacquered artisanal finish, its brushed and troweled passages bearing faint calligraphic incisions and pinpricked stitch-like perforations, evoking a Japanese ink study or an aged fresco fragment. Against this painterly softness, the joinery frames and window casings deliver rift-sawn oak with a fine, linear grain, while the perimeter walls are dressed in a subtly striated textile or grasscloth wallcovering punctuated by small inlaid tesserae — a low-frequency rhythm that reads as texture at distance and as craft detail at proximity. Hardware provides the scheme's only true contrast: elongated blackened-bronze pulls, rectilinear and unornamented, act as punctuation marks on the pale field. Metals are otherwise handled with restraint — satin brass sabots capping the bench legs, an unlacquered brass sconce armature — introducing warmth without glitter. Underfoot, the chevron-laid oak parquet supplies directional energy, softened by a plush viscose or silk-blend rug whose sheen shifts from pearl to shadow. The tactile logic is one of graduated softness: matte plaster against silk pile, honed timber against brushed textile, with mirror as the single hard, cool interruption. **Paragraph 3: Lighting, Atmosphere & Style Profile** Natural light is the primary compositional instrument here, and it has been diffused rather than admitted — the obscured glazing and half-drawn linen Roman shade convert daylight into a soft, north-facing luminous plane, evenly modelling the plaster and revealing its topography in raking gradients. This ambient wash is calibrated against a single decorative gesture: a wall-mounted sconce in alabaster or hand-formed opaline glass, its warm amber core providing the room's only chromatic accent and a welcome note of imperfection against the otherwise machined precision. Architectural lighting is entirely concealed — no downlight apertures interrupt the ceiling plane — reinforcing the sense that illumination emanates from the surfaces themselves. The resulting atmosphere is contemplative, hushed, almost sacral: a threshold space treated with the gravity of a chapel narthex. Stylistically, the project sits at the confluence of Soft Minimalism and contemporary Parisian couture interiors — the reductive planarity and monochromatic discipline of the former married to the artisanal, hand-wrought materiality and bronze detailing associated with the latter, with a distinctly Japandi sensibility in its reverence for wabi-sabi surface irregularity and asymmetric compositional balance. It is a scheme that achieves luxury not through ornament or contrast but through the sustained rigour of tonal control, the quality of the hand in its finishes, and the confidence to leave the volume largely empty.

This coastal kitchen was designed with modern simplicity in mind to compliment my clients Baja lifestyle. The goal was to make the kitchen space feel larger for their daily use and entertaining purposes. Therefore, we designed the refrigerator to be positioned in the corner of the L shape custom cabinetry plan. Doing so opened the space up for even better interior access into the fridge as the French doors can now open fully. Within the custom cabinet plan, we specifically added a pair of hidden storage garage cubbies on both sides of the refrigerator compartment which gives my clients the ability to capture additional would-be wasted space perfect for hiding items typically left on the counters such as their toaster, coffee maker, bottles of vitamins, etc.. The duel material island with waterfall edges has even more character by adding a solid alder wood counter surface that marries into the quartz utility area surface. The island also has tons of hidden storage space on the front side hidden behind touch release cabinet doors to store items not used as often. Hanging above the island are a pair of glazed clay planters found locally that were transformed into really interesting light pendants through the assistance of our sister company, iron | clay | wood, for all things custom! Adding a bank of custom floating shelves in the same alder wood as the island also gave continuity and balance to the space perfect for displaying my clients collection of everyday dishes and stemware found in Rosarito.

Among the best in art fireplace design, the AF100 Remote Controlled Electronic Bio Ethanol Burner Insert is favored by architects, contractors and high-end designers and offers the discerning client unprecedented quality and safety. In addition to the same vent-free and clean burning flames as manual ethanol fireplace inserts, this art-Fire bio ethanol burner offers much more for both residential and commercial applications: Remote Control Capability. Due to its electronic operation, powered by a twelve-volt power source, this ethanol fireplace insert may be ignited and extinguished through an on/off switch located on the burner itself, a one-button remote control or through your smart phone by integrating with your Smart Home System. On-Board Safety Monitoring. The motherboard of this fireplace insert is safety-central. Constantly self-evaluating its operation, this intelligent burner reacts to any condition that appears atypical. Should it sense an excess amount of carbon dioxide emission or heat output, it will automatically cease operation, extinguish the flame and maintain the lock mechanism of the fuel chamber. Additionally, it will self-extinguish should it sense seismic motion or level of tilt making it a shock-proof device. Fuel and battery levels are also constantly evaluated for optimal performance and will give notification through the burner’s LED display, which will indicate operation times and alert you by sound and error message should an event occur. Sturdy Construction. Constructed of Grade 304 stainless steel, the ethanol burner is corrosion resistant and exhibits excellent resistance to atmospheric, chemical and other exposures. Its top plate measures three millimeters in thickness (3/32 inches). This allows sturdiness, yet promotes a low profile. For added safety, the bio ethanol burner AF100 offers insulated double hearth construction. Separate Fuel Reservoir and Burner Tray. Continuing with the unprecedented safety features of this ethanol burner, excess fuel is housed in a sealed reservoir. This not only prevents fuel evaporation and the aromatic release of the raw ethanol, but lessens the amount of “exposed” fuel at any given time. Through a medical grade fuel pump, the ethanol is delivered into the burner tray. Only allowing the burner tray to manage a few centiliters of ethanol fuel at a given time promotes additional safety and minimizes the risk of fire-related dangers.
