Designers Jeff Oring, CKBR and Nicole Zeigler, CKBR focused the style of this 22'x17' kitchen on the homeowners’ love of entertaining and their European roots.
Function was priority one for the clients, so the design team specified a number of amenities to aid ease-of-use, including a Julien prep sink in the island with faucet and soap dispenser from KWC shown here. Also included for easy clean-up is an in-sink disposal unit from InSinkErator.
According to Oring, the clients’ expectations for easy living were met by including pull-outs, roll-outs and cabinet inserts behind nearly every door in the kitchen, such as the utility pull-outs shown here.



Project Highlights

Built in 1930, and remodeled in 1970, the home had a number of dated aspects – such as laminate cabinetry and countertops – that the new owners wanted to bring into the 21st century. White cabinetry from Crystal Cabinet Works fulfills the clients’ desire for a clean, sleek profile while a variety of inserts, pull-outs and roll-outs address their concerns about functional storage.

Functionality also led to the inclusion of an undermount bar sink from Julien on the island, with a single-handle faucet and soap dispenser from KWC. Both the bar sink and the main sink, also from Julien with a Hansgrohe Swing faucet, feature in-sink disposal units from InSinkErator.

The kitchen’s product line-up includes white Carrara marble on the island and honed LagosBlue limestone for the perimeter countertops; a stainless steel 36" Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator, a 36" stainless steel Viking backsplash with two fold-down warming shelves, a 36" professional hood from Thermador, a Miele dishwasher with hidden controls, and a suite of products from Dacor including a 36" professional dual-fuel range, 36" Island trim backguard for the range, a 27" single wall oven from the company’s Epicure series, a 27" microwave and a 27" warming drawer.

Handling a nearly whole-house remodel, the team was also responsible for creating a laundry room on the second floor with a front-loading washer and dryer from Bosch. The powder room, which was flipped as part of the renovation of the kitchen to add floor space, was given a beach-inspired style and includes a Porcher Semplice vessel sink and Hansgrohe wall-mount faucet in Polished Chrome from the company’s Axor Citterio line. In the master bath, the design team chose a duo of Kohler Caxton vanity sinks paired with faucets from Harrington Brass with the company’s Palace Cross handles, with a washstand from Restoration Hardware.
