A feast for the eyes, these local projects prove how powerful a thoughtful layout can be in the hardest-working area of the home.

Black cased trimless windows flood this modern kitchen with natural light. Contemporary cabinetry forgoes embellishments and features underlit base lights for visibility and ambiance. Waterfall edge countertops further echo the sleek sensibility of this new build.

This design team built a kitchen that maintains a tidy aesthetic with custom sage green cabinetry and smart storage solutions that keep everyday items out of sight yet within reach.

A refined take on modern farmhouse style, this kitchen blends painted black oak with nutmeg-stained oak for organic warmth and texture. The visible grain and two-toned hardware create depth and balance, uniting the contrast of wood and paint into one cohesive design.

Traditional meets modern in this exquisite kitchen renovation. Fine details like custom millwork and molding surround the connected kitchen and dining space with breathing room and space to gather.

Without changing the floor plan, this kitchen was transformed with new cabinets painted Alabaster White among accents of reeded glass for a minimal aesthetic. Taj Mahal quartzite created a partial backsplash and covers the new split islands for ample space to host and gather.
