Designer: Lance Marceaux Materials: Advance Miro Mohair Synthia Japanese Pine Countertops: Emerstone Calacata Sereno Quartz Backsplash: Arabescato Corchia honed marble Appliances: All Miele Storage & Organization Enhancements The new kitchen German engineered kitchen was designed to be efficient and function seamlessly for both everyday family routines and for small and large gatherings. Storage was maximized and dedicated task zones established to optimize workflow throughout the reimagined 1925 Tudor home. The peninsula provides casual countertop seating, and graciously defines the kitchen area from the living space, keeping sight lines open and airy. The area beneath the staircase was skillsfully customized to extend the kitchen work space and provide even more storage solutions. The upper wall and lower base cabinetry features the Miro line in Mohair, which introduces a soft, earthy tone to the perimeter walls. This is balanced by the tall cabinet units that showcase the Synthia line in Japanese Pine, bringing a warm wood-textured elegance to the vertical spaces. Both collections incorporate the Advance handleless system, seamlessly blending clean architectural beauty with everyday functionality. The design is further complemented by carefully curated stone surfaces. The soft Emerstone Calacata Sereno quartz countertops alongside a striking Arabescato Corchia honed marble backsplash, adds natural movement and luxury. To complete the culinary design, premium Miele appliances are used.

Sunlight pours into this kitchen from every angle, creating a bright and inviting space. The efficient work triangle between the refrigerator, sink, and stove ensures a seamless workflow. The island provides a perfect spot for guests to gather, while keeping them out of the chef's way.

Studioteka was asked to transform a dark, and very dated kitchen and dining area for a professional couple residing in New York’s sought after Riverdale neighborhood, just a stone’s throw from Van Cortlandt Park. The couple like to cook and entertain, and wanted a space where they’d be able to host dinner parties that could also spill onto their beautiful back deck and yard. The design team removed the old kitchen cabinets and the wall which had previously separated both spaces, allowing for the creation of an oversized island that also contained cabinetry and space for a breakfast bar. Old ductwork which had been contained in the wall was rerouted, and cleverly hidden within the new island’s custom drawers and cabinetry. The gas range was relocated to the far wall, and the dishwasher was moved from the window side to the island side of the kitchen, allowing for a better kitchen workflow. New recessed and pendant lighting illuminate the space, and highlight the island. The Brazilian Bajkal Quartzite countertops provide a light contrast to the dark wood of the cabinetry below, while white subway tile and cabinets above provide openness, making the space appear larger and light filled. The kitchen window and French doors leading to the outdoor space in back were replaced, and side lights were added around the door, allowing for the creation of a new and light filled and beautiful entertainment space in the home.

This Clarks Hill farmhouse kitchen was worn-out and awkwardly closed off from the dining space. The homeowner wanted new appliances and needed the paneling to be removed. Riverside Construction updated the design by creating an island with seating for two. We also opened up the space to the dining room by removing a wall. The space was brightened up using white shaker style cabinets with clean lines and hi-definition laminate counter tops. Cork flooring was added to create a nice contrast. Additionally, Riverside moved the range from the closed off wall to the left leg of the kitchen, improving the workflow in the kitchen. School house lights and beaded paneling on the island were added to bring back the charm of the early 1900’s.

The centerpiece of this exquisite kitchen is the deep navy island adorned with a stunning quartzite slab. Its rich hue adds a touch of sophistication and serves as a captivating focal point. Complementing this bold choice, the two-tone color-blocked cabinet design elevates the overall aesthetic, showcasing a perfect blend of style and functionality. Light counters and a thoughtfully selected backsplash ensure a bright and inviting atmosphere. The intelligent layout separates the work zones, allowing for seamless workflow, while the strategic placement of the island seating around three sides ensures ample space and prevents any crowding. A larger window positioned above the sink not only floods the kitchen with natural light but also provides a picturesque view of the surrounding environment. And to create a cozy corner for relaxation, a delightful coffee nook is nestled in front of the lower windows, allowing for moments of tranquility and appreciation of the beautiful surroundings. --- Project completed by Wendy Langston's Everything Home interior design firm, which serves Carmel, Zionsville, Fishers, Westfield, Noblesville, and Indianapolis.

"From the very beginning, it was obvious that Kerry Taylor is a creative, calm, solution oriented person who deals with challenges extremely well. His professionalism, knowledge, and work ethic are exemplary and his crew mirrors every one of those qualities. From structural problems that required immediate resolution to working around other contractors (flooring, windows), to everyday cleanup and protection of our surroundings, they did it all. Kerry designed and built special structures to support the cabinet crown moldings that we had purchased and which turned out not to be as we expected. We hadn't decided on everything ahead of time and the necessary resulting change orders were very decently priced and well documented in his invoices and receipts. He came in absolutely on budget and on time because he knows how to efficiently manage a project so that the workflow is smooth. We will absolutely call on him for future projects." ~ Avis D, Client Single bowl sink, double faucets, under cabinet led lighting, TV center, key cabinet, spice rack pull out, toe kick drawer, rollouts, stainless steel hood, pendant, solar tube, appliance garage.

This handcrafted Ash conference table was designed to bring together exceptional craftsmanship, meaningful design, and everyday functionality. Built from solid USA-sourced Ash hardwood, this custom conference table serves as the centerpiece of a professional meeting space while celebrating the company's Michigan roots through thoughtful, one-of-a-kind details. The light, natural tones of the Ash create a clean, contemporary aesthetic, allowing the beauty of the wood to shine while providing a durable work surface built for decades of daily use. Designed and delivered to Michigan Financial Planning in Hartland, Michigan, the tabletop features a custom inlay of the state of Michigan filled with deep blue epoxy. This striking centerpiece serves as a subtle yet powerful reminder of the community the company proudly serves, transforming the conference table into more than simply office furniture—it becomes an extension of the business's identity and values. Supporting the tabletop are bold X-shaped steel legs connected by a solid center beam, providing exceptional stability while creating a modern architectural design that complements the clean lines of the Ash hardwood. The combination of natural wood, vibrant epoxy, and custom steelwork creates a conference table that's equally suited for client meetings, strategic planning sessions, team collaboration, and everyday business operations.

A Heartfelt Kitchen A modern kitchen is more than a cooking space—it’s the welcoming core of your home. In 2025, kitchen designs marry functionality with warmth, natural beauty, and personal expression. 1. Warm Natural Materials

• Earthy woods like walnut, oak, and bamboo enrich the visual texture and add warmth to cabinetry, islands, and shelving.
• Stone surfaces—marble, quartz, soapstone—deliver durability and timeless appeal in counters and backsplashes.
• Eco-conscious finishes and reclaimed elements bring character and long-lasting quality.

2. Bold, Living Color Palettes

• Move beyond white and gray: contemporary kitchens favor deep greens, navy blues, terracottas, and soft taupes.
• Two-tone cabinet schemes—mixing moodier lower cabinets with light upper ones—add drama and balance.
• Consider bold cabinetry or painted islands paired with neutral walls to anchor the palette.

3. Clever Storage & Hidden Utility

• Expect built-in cabinetry solutions: pull-out pantries, toe-kick drawers, corner organizers, integrated sinks, and appliance garages.
• Conceal dishwashers and refrigerators behind matching panels for a clean, polished look.
• These smart features make kitchens more functional and visually serene.

4. Dual Kitchens & Sculleries

• Luxury homes increasingly include a secondary “dirty” kitchen, or scullery, to handle prep and mess out of sight.
• This keeps the main space pristine for entertaining while blending function and elegance seamlessly.

5. Islands & Cook’s Tables as Hubs

• Islands serve multiple roles: prep stations, dining surfaces, coffee bars, or beverage centers.
• Floating or furniture-inspired cook’s tables fit lighter spaces while still offering storage and usability.
• Material mixes—wood, terrazzo, stone—make islands focal and functional.

6. Curves, Fluting & Organic Forms

• Cabinets and islands with rounded corners or fluted panels soften visual lines and add sculptural interest.
• Curved work islands and edges elevate a kitchen from purely practical to artful and inviting.

7. Bold Textures & Material Mixes

• Combine textures—ribbed wood panels, carved stone counters, matte cabinetry—to build visual richness and tactility.
• Full‑height stone backsplashes (sometimes called “countersplash”) create a unified, clean aesthetic.
• Layered materials support a timeless yet expressive design.

8. Statement Lighting & Layered Illumination

• Oversized pendants, sleek LED strips, metallic chandeliers, or sculptural fixtures double as decor.
• Layer light sources—ambient overhead lighting, focused under-cabinet lamps, and accent fixtures—to set mood and function.
• Natural light through windows and skylights remains key to ambiance and energy efficiency.

9. Sustainability & Green Tech

• Eco‑friendly materials—reclaimed wood, recycled stone, or bamboo—support conscious living.
• Smart appliances conserve water and energy while offering connectivity (voice control, smart fridges, app‑enabled cooktops).
• Low‑VOC paints, compost zones, and recycling solutions support both style and wellness.

10. Ergonomic & Efficient Layouts

• Kitchens built around the classic work triangle (sink, stove, fridge) optimize workflow and reduce unnecessary movement.
• Open or zoned layouts support multitasking and social cooking.
• Universal design features—adjustable counters, soft-close drawers—ensure comfort and long-lasting usability.

Design Style Concepts A. Cozy Natural Retreat Warm wood cabinets in sage or taupe. A stone countersplash flows into the full-height backsplash. Rounded-edge island with brass pendants. Potted herbs and open shelving add life and color. B. Elegant Contrast & Depth Deep navy lowers, light upper cabinets, clean stone counters. Two-tone cabinetry adds dimension. Mixed-metal hardware in gold or polished nickel adds shine. Moody lighting enhances drama. C. Minimalist Function with a Curve Handleless, soft-gray cabinetry meets flowing island form. Mattes and warm under-cabinet lighting enhance texture. Integrated appliances and open shelving sustain an airy feel. Quick Tips at a Glance

• Material harmony: balance tactile woods, stone surfaces, and subtle metals.
• Color with intention: jewel tones or soft earth hues create focal interest.
• Opt for hidden storage: it keeps spaces uncluttered without sacrificing accessibility.
• Design islands for dual roles: they are both workspaces and social centers.
• Light with layers and style: combine task, ambient, and accent lighting.
• Incorporate greenery: herb racks or plants deliver freshness and natural life.
