DESIGN SUMMARY

The client wished to have a sophisticated transitional look for this kitchen, with a hint of Art Deco style. Ultracraft Destiny Cabinets with Breckenridge door style in a black painted finish created the drama. Zodiac quartz countertops and a custom made stone and glass tile backsplash border completed the look.

The wrap around section of the space was perfect to create a special “drink station” with beautiful mullion glass door cabinets, and an undercounter wine captain and ice maker. The proximity to the family’s eating area made this especially convenient, and the gorgeous John Boos walnut butcherblock countertop added warmth to the space.

DESIGN SUMMARY

This elegant kitchen was installed in a beautifully appointed home that had architectural moldings found throughout. A coffered ceiling was designed and installed to fit the space and bring the kitchen to the level of the rest of the home. Decora cabinets in a paint with glaze finish are accented with a dentil insert crown molding, mullion glass door cabinets and architectural carvings, creating interest everywhere you look.

Other distinctive features include the cherry wood island, a copper farm sink, and mantle style alcove hood. A cozy breakfast nook and ample island seating makes the kitchen an inviting place to gather with family and friends.

DESIGN SUMMARY

White cabinets make a smart solution for small spaces. This client chose Ultracraft ‘Dove White’ custom laminate cabinets in ‘Philadelphia’ decorative recessed panel door style. The key element to this design was moving the refrigerator just out of the kitchen into the adjacent laundry area.

We applied Mannington Heritage Cherry Buckskin laminate plank flooring throughout the kitchen, pantry, laundry room and entryway for an uninterrupted look.

DESIGN SUMMARY

This client began the process having determined the decor/color scheme derived from several Pinterest photos. Ultracraft’s all-wood ‘Breckenridge Wide’ door style in ‘Arctic White’ on maple with vintage distressing was a perfect fit. The design included removing a wall to open the dining room into the kitchen, unlocking space for a bar area, a window seat with access below, and an eat-in island.

Features include ‘Absolute Black’ granite tops, a white farmer sink, and interesting mix of bronze faucet and hardware with stainless steel appliances, a double oven, built-in refrigerator and a downdraft cooktop perpetuating the open design.***Designed by Mark IV/Installed by Custom Residential Construction

DESIGN SUMMARY

• Removal of existing wall that had a pass thru to the dining/living space
• Designing a large island that would seat four and included:  double waste pullout, wine cubes, decorative legs to support counter overhang, large drawer base, and roll-trays.
• Matching the existing Luna Pearl granite counters
• Installing a new granite countertop that must be installed without a seam

• The existing pass thru wall had posts that support second floor of the addition
• There was no match to the client’s existing countertops

• One of the support posts had was removed by Mark IV’s installation team. A temporary post was installed at a different location in order that the one piece of granite could be brought in on an angle and put in place.
• Since there was not granite to match the existing countertops, a complementary black absolute granite was used

3 Client was looking to save some time with maintaining the kitchen. All maintenance free materials were selected: Quartz tops, laminate cabinets, laminate floor, stainless steel sink, and tile backsplash.

DESIGN SUMMARY

In this kitchen, a cramped awkward space was opened up to create a family gathering area with a large centrally located island. The challenge became incorporating both structural and decorative beams that were existing in the adjacent family room.

A mix of rustic and warm materials creates a comfortable, casual space, including Ultracraft Linen brushstroke glazed cabinetry, and rustic cherry island cabinetry. A leathered finish granite was used on the perimeter, keeping in style with the farmhouse rustic theme. The farmhouse sink and random pattern stone look floor completes the look.***Designed by Mark IV/Installed by Michael Anthony

DESIGN SUMMARY

This renovation was in a historic home that in another life had been a ballroom for a grand estate in Philadelphia. Design objectives included retaining the character of the home through the use of larger scaled cabinets and architectural detail. Some of the challenges involved were merging two rooms into the grand kitchen space that you see. This included the removal of a dividing wall, and installation of an engineered beam in the 14’ high ceiling. The entrance to a rear bathroom had to be relocated to an adjacent room, and two previous doorways combined into one center doorway into the kitchen. Because the kitchen is entered from an over two story high space, a strong presence was desired that would help tie the kitchen to the preceding room. The over-sized dark cherry wood island and large gracefully curved mantel hood provided the drama and scale needed for the transition. Strong architectural detail through the use of columns, panels, and a three part crown molding also helped the kitchen relate to the home's grand past.The craftsmanship in both the custom cabinetry manufactured by Adelphi Custom Cabinetry and professional installation by Mark IV’s installation team is clearly showcased in this space. Careful attention to detail throughout the design and construction stages were essential to retaining the authenticity and integrity of this historic home. Be sure to look for the hand carvings in the existing moldings.
