“Hidden Dunes” was a project four years in the making. Set among seven pristine acres abutting reserves in Amagansett, this family home was built not only for socializing on a large scale, but also for quieter moments of reflection. The kitchen is custom made, with extensive cabinetry and counter space. It has two islands with Olympian marble counters, multiple prep stations and allocated spaces to sit and relax and socialize during food preparation. The main sink is a 48-inch chef’s model, which is flanked by two dishwashers. Grooved cabinetry is made of cerused white oak, accented by modern brass drawer pulls from the United Kingdom. The ceiling has been clad with oak beams that span 24 feet and features rough-cut pine panels that will turn gray over time.

Located in the dunes of a seaside village, this kitchen is a study in contrast. Bright, soft light washes over a dark-hued palette of wood and metal, creating a modest and peaceful environment. The owners love to cook and spend most of their time in the kitchen. They appreciate serenity and clean lines. Situated as an anchor to a larger space, the kitchen is inviting, easy to navigate and an ideal space in which to cook.
Finalist: Italkraft
This kitchen design seamlessly blends sophistication and functionality. Minimalist cabinetry, a neutral color palette and metallic accents create an elevated modern aesthetic. High-caliber materials such as marble and matte-finished wood enhance the sleek design of the countertops and cabinets. The countertop’s marble gracefully extends into a wooden breakfast table at the island’s edge, creating a harmonious balance of natural elements, while highlighting their distinct textures. Large windows allow natural light to stream in, which creates a warm, inviting ambiance. Complete with Sub-Zero appliances, all elements of the kitchen—from the handle-less cabinets to the dramatic marble countertops and wood finishes—come together in an elegantly designed display of contemporary kitchen design.
