The designers of this Rye kitchen set out to create a space that’s “light and soft, with a touch of funky,” while also making it practical for a busy family of six. They removed a doorway, which opened up the space and allowed for a desk, additional cabinets, and a custom L-shaped vinyl banquette.
The marble countertops, tile floors, and backsplash adhere to a gray and white color scheme. “A lovely combination of materials and movement,” remarks judge Alison Spear.
The owners of this Central Park West apartment wanted to give it a sense of modernity and simplicity, so Wettling Architects reimagined the kitchen, installing a striking veined marble and sleek cabinetry that are offset by more traditional wood herringbone floors. “White cabinets with little hardware and a beautiful marble,” says judge Judy Ross. “It’s all very chic.”
For the renovation of a Westchester kitchen, Carol Kurth’s goal was to create a space that’s at once sunny, cozy, and rustic. After opening it up to adjacent rooms, she added a large bay window, reclaimed-timber trusses, vintage pendant lights, and an oversize marble island that accommodates the entire family. As judge Matthew Patrick Smyth notes, the room incorporates “traditional elements with a modern sensibility.”
For this home, CWB proposed the construction of a two-story extension designed to respond to the traditional row house tea porch aesthetic that is commonly seen throughout Brooklyn Heights. The newly renovated space exudes casual elegance with finishing touches and soft furnishings curated by the homeowner.
