A kitchen with Japanese and Scandinavian influences emphasizes comfort, sustainability, natural materials, and simplicity. Natural oak floors and tall units combined with natural white cabinetry and covered by magnificent quartzite. 

Modern materials are used in a transitional-style kitchen, which emphasizes functionality and the latest in technology.

We installed this kitchen in one of the brownstones in the Fort Greene part of Brooklyn. We designed cabinetry to fit into restrains of the apartment while maximizing the storage. 

Delays and long lead times have become the norm. We at European Kitchen Center adapt our operations to meet changing needs. When we had the cabinetry and all other items in our possession, the demolition began—quick installation, a happy client, and a beautiful kitchen. It features the most up-to-date contemporary design, handle-less cabinetry, and the latest kitchen appliances.

I really enjoyed working on the design of this contemporary kitchen. A few features of this magnificent kitchen include a special flat-panel door, integrated and paneled high-end appliances, quartz worktops, and lacquered and wood veneer finishes. This kitchen, which has a lot of exquisite elements, a handle-less design, and plenty of contemporary storage, is now one of my favorite projects.

This project involved installing wardrobes in a few different locations throughout the apartment. Each space called for an individual approach and presented unique challenges. An extensive hallway closet had to provide ample storage for shoes and closing and hosting an AV unit, hidden circuit breaker, and some access to communications panels. The smaller closet needed access to AC units. The walk-in closet needed some particular storage solutions.

A combination of transitional kitchen cabinetry and modern materials, elements, and technology. The flat panels in wood veneer are combined with the lacquered recessed panel, as well as accents such as silk printed smoked glass, solid black handles, an open base, and display cabinets. LED lighting highlights the modern engineered quartz countertop and backsplash. The most recent advancements in high-end appliances are seamlessly integrated into a mix of styles and materials.

The before and after photos show a complete kitchen transformation.
