The "Illusionist" kitchen is a 2nd place winner in the prestigious Subzero and Wolf kitchen design contest in the state of Ohio. This tremendous house, which is situated on the lake, boasts a main kitchen and a prep kitchen. Its name was generated from the complete invisibility of the main kitchen's working components, whereas all of the appliances were completely concealed to provide a seamless look allowing for an unconventional look that is streamlined yet completely functional. The goal of the homeowners in the design stages were to simplify a more conventional house layout. A more predictable formal dining room was eliminated creating a merge of the main kitchen with a central eating area. The combining of these two spaces helped to develop the concept that the kitchen was an 'illusion'; accessible when necessary but unnoticed in every other way so there was less of a feel of being in a kitchen and more of a sense of being in a gathering area for family and friends to enjoy. The main kitchen boasts three ovens, a 36" Subzero refrigerator and a 36" Subzero freezer, all of which are paneled with white glass, providing a perfect reflective surface for the lake in the backdrop. The island is dual purposed, housing a sink and a 36" induction Wolf cooktop on one side and providing seating for 10 in a custom built banquette. The light fixture above the custom glass and stainless steel table is the "Etoile" from Terzanni while the massive light fixture over the island is the "Sospesa" from Fabbian and boasts a 2" sheet of glass with inset halogen lighting that is nearly invisible suspended from the 10' ceiling that features a drop ceiling with cove lighting. The prep kitchen, which was the 'workhorse' for everyday use is also a fully functional space, featuring additional 36" Subzero refrigerator and freezer, a 36" oven, microwave, two prep sinks (one in the island and one to the left of the freezer) and a concealed barstool which pulls out from the island and 'disappears' when not in use. A built-in dog feeding station allows for conveniences for all family members of this modern household.

Plant Specialist brought a tremendous amount of greenery to this high rise residence creating a comfortable and elegant atmosphere. The planters pictured here are an example of our modular planter system that connect multiple planters together creating a near seamless connection.

La Jolla Rancho Rd project was an exciting project, the house itself was going through tremendous remodel phases when Parker Rose was called over to start gathering ideas for the staging. The overall result turned into a beautiful masterpiece, many of the specifications of the home are Mid-Century Modern. The challenge we had with the staging was using the open living spaces correctly and finding the perfect layout of how to attract the eye to look out to the beautiful view while still being functional. The main entry level is a big open space and after working on several layouts we came up with the idea of doing dual sofas with accent chairs floating in the middle of the living room, a console was placed behind the sofa closest to the entrance creating layers. The other portion of the open space was used as the dining room, it was the perfect combination as both sections were close to the open kitchen displaying functionality in an open floorplan. Each space was carefully planned to take advantage of the open floorplan and beautiful coastal views.

Built in collaboration with Richcraft Homes, this new industrial modern kitchen was a winner at the 2017 GOHBA Housing Design Awards. Symmetry was the key to success in this confident design. Elegant and sleek, the suede black contrasts with the horizontal grain of modern and soothing light walnut. The two tall blocks on either end of the counter anchor the horizontal full depth uppers, showing off the revealed lower section in walnut. The white granite counters are radiant on the generous island. All in all, this kitchen has a sizable amount of work space and storage. Potvin’s leading edge materials, bold design and ingenuity lead to a tremendous, award-winning kitchen.

Transformation of dark, narrow kitchen into an inviting and highly functional cook's kitchen. White matte lacquer upper cabinets create a feeling of airiness complemented by the freshness of white oak cabinetry and herringbone glass tiles. The tall lacquer piers flanking the window provide abundant and accessible storage for oils, spices, and frequently used ingredients. The streamline kitchen also provides a tremendous amount of functional storage in the many cabinets and drawers.

This finished photo was taken by Stephen Gerhart from Day One Lighting, this is a project we collaborated on in 2014. This project absolutely needs to be seen. With the effort put into it and the tremendous amount of time it took to complete, I was glad to see it go away for a while. Day One Lighting in West Palm Beach brought this one to the table, we added our expertise in all the glass related details. Together we produced this wild creative illuminated glass water feature wall. I am just seeing this particular photo now for the first time and it is absolutely stunning!!! This wall is about 60” wide and 80”tall. What you see is a full field of custom cut and bonded recycled tumbled glass rock to 1/2" backed safety glass. The water cascades and falls elegantly across the front face out of a cool glass spillway. It is fully surrounded in a self-contained and programmable custom LED lighting system furnished by Day One Lighting, In fact Stephen headed up and delivered the complete package to this unique project. The creative backing is our secret, along with every important detail about its dynamic assembly. Wait to see what is next?

This southwest contemporary home is an Eric Brandt masterpiece. These cabinets feature a classic wide rail shaker door style in maple with a fresh taupe stain. Clever storage solutions found throughout the kitchen combined with ample counter space allow for tremendous workspace efficiency while the open design invites conversation and connection from throughout the home.

Jennifer Hazen from Reico Kitchen and Bath in Charlottesville, VA, collaborated with Salone Construction to create a contemporary kitchen and beverage bar design featuring Merillat Masterpiece cabinetry. The kitchen cabinets feature the Martel door style in an Evercore Dove white finish, while the beverage bar and range wall doors are Cherry in a Slate stain. The countertop is Caesarstone Noble Grey engineered quartz. Jennifer's favorite aspects of this kitchen design revolved around the "contrasting dark cabinet doors on painted white cabinets on the range wall. The client came up with this idea, and I was all in. Flip-up stacked doors at the double oven and beverage bar, along with the oversized kitchen island, allowed us to utilize every available square inch of the quartz slab!" Jennifer also highlighted the significance of open communication with the client during this project. "She would send over pictures of her vision, explaining why she liked an idea, and it helped me tremendously in the process of making her dream kitchen a reality."

RECENT PROJECT - BATH/RICHFIELD, OH This gorgeous garage cabinet and flooring project was done with our Bluff cabinet finish with solid stainless handles. Butcher block was used for the drop station work surface and boot bench seat. Stacker cabinets above the upper and tall units went to the ceiling for maximum storage and a tremendous look. Gray slat wall completed the unit to use with hooks to keep handheld tools and supplies close at hand. The Flex-Core epoxy flooring was installed in the "Terracotta" decorative flake blend.

Here are photos of our newest happy customer! We made such a tremendous transformation by removing a wall as well as extending the kitchen with a new refrigerator, pantry and bar location. The Design Team made great strides to accommodate all of the customer's needs. "Great job guys"!

Originally built in 1929 and designed by famed architect Albert Farr who was responsible for the Wolf House that was built for Jack London in Glen Ellen, this building has always had tremendous historical significance. In keeping with tradition, the new design incorporates intricate plaster crown moulding details throughout with a splash of contemporary finishes lining the corridors. From venetian plaster finishes to German engineered wood flooring this house exhibits a delightful mix of traditional and contemporary styles. Many of the rooms contain reclaimed wood paneling, discretely faux-finished Trufig outlets and a completely integrated Savant Home Automation system. Equipped with radiant flooring and forced air-conditioning on the upper floors as well as a full fitness, sauna and spa recreation center at the basement level, this home truly contains all the amenities of modern-day living. The primary suite area is outfitted with floor to ceiling Calacatta stone with an uninterrupted view of the Golden Gate bridge from the bathtub. This building is a truly iconic and revitalized space.

Although the footprint of this kitchen did not change much, the functionality improved tremendously. This customer loves to bake and the single oven, electric stove, and lack of counterspace was not sufficient. We redesigned the space to not only accommodate the appliances that they wanted, but to flow much better and allow for a large island. We started this remodel by installing all new cabinets from the Kitchen Solvers Classic Collection line done in a Hickory Tescott door in a Cashew color. Next, we installed a new quartz countertop done in Indian Pearl and a 4” x 8” Skybridge off-white backsplash. Now this homeowner has the kitchen they’ve been dreaming of.
