For the homeowners who love to entertain their large family and many friends, having a home that could refresh the layout for modern life while keeping in tune with its classic tradition was essential. The project was guided by a primary objective: to reimagine the layout as tailored, well-appointed, light-filled, and equipped for hosting. The previously large kitchen was transformed into two spaces: a smaller, more functional kitchen and a handsome barrel-vaulted butler’s pantry, to better accommodate the client’s use of space. Rich in personality and poise, this kitchen embodies refined classics and livable comfort that doubles as the perfect backdrop to family memories.   

Why the judges love it: Every detail of this kitchen was distinctively well thought out and special. The result was an elegant, tasteful and timeless space that made great use of the large floor plan. Favorite features include the scullery, barrel vaulted ceiling, and the detailed woodwork.
