Combining High Design with Value-Conscious Design
H as the pendulum swung from high design
to no design when it comes to today’s
kitchens and baths? Absolutely not. What has
happened is this: High-end design has combined
with value-conscious design to create longer-
lasting spaces.
But, as all industry professionals agree, achieving
this combination is a bit tricky. “You must get
professional advice on kitchen and bath design to
do this right,” says Jason Kontos, editor in chief,
New York Spaces magazine. “There’s nothing
worse than making an expensive mistake in your
home, especially with a kitchen or bath.”
Value-conscious design doesn’t mean
inexpensive or low quality products or service,
experts are clear to point out. It does mean,
however, spending a bit more money on—and
time researching—quality materials and opting
for simple, functional, low-maintenance design
that will stand the test of time.
But, it wasn’t always like that in kitchen and
bath design, when the focus seemed to center
on aesthetics versus function. Experts all agree
that many of the superfl uous bells and whistles
of yesterday’s kitchens and bathrooms may
not make the cut in 2011. According to recent
trend-spotting by the National Kitchen & Bath
Association, luxury kitchens may still have
beverage stations, but they are concealed; there
may be bold colors in the space, but they are
splashes of vibrancy as a backdrop to the broader
stroke of more neutral tones; and granite may
still be popular, but countertops are now being
thoughtfully customized to fi t the task performed
rather than opting for large and unusable
expanses of stone. “No matter what the style,
suburbs or city, kitchens now look cleaner and
streamlined,” says Kontos. “There are fewer fussy
design distractions in kitchens and bathrooms.”
That doesn’t mean kitchen or bath design has
become any easier. Renovating a kitchen or
bath is still stressful, but designers and suppliers
are acutely aware of the frustrations and report
that they’ve revamped remodeling processes
to make it smoother for clients. There’s more
communication, fewer surprises, and higher levels
of satisfaction when it comes to fi nished projects.
As you read about the local and highly trained
and experienced design and service professionals
in the following pages, you will see clear evidence
of how they have shifted deeper into thoughtfully
offering a blend of high design with value-
conscious kitchen and bathroom design.by M A R I L Y N Z E L I N S K Y - S Y A R T O

There is a reason behind every detail and design in Arclinea’s kitchen
cabinetry. Whether it’s a suspended herb-growing station or a height-
adjustable dining table attached to an island, architect Antonio Citterio
designed Arclinea as a functional luxury kitchen cabinetry line inspired
by the most elegant commercial kitchens. It takes but a second to
admire a well-appointed commercial style kitchen for its clean and
streamlined design, ease of maintenance, stainless shine, and specialized
details that make it so functional. Citterio captured all of the mood and
ambience of a fi ve-star restaurant, along with the gleaming ease of
stainless steel, in the Arclinea collection.
“The mindset of our trendsetting clients has changed to one of
wanting value and a timeless investment that will hold up well without
sacrifi cing high design and functionality,” says Nazneen Ahmed, Nova
Studio’s showroom manager. “Gathering in the kitchen is a universal
cultural experience, and Citterio designed a kitchen collection where
families and guests can sit together with great ease.”
Stainless steel is one of the signature mediums for Arclinea’s
N O VA S T U D I O I N T E R N AT I O N A L
designs, and it is artfully combined with other fi nishes and woods
to create a warm collage of textures. Arclinea’s fi ne details include
warming countertops for keeping aromatic breads toasty and cooling
tops to serve chilled hors d’oeuvres. “It lets a host create a beautiful
presentation when entertaining, while keeping it highly functional,” says
Ahmed. “Clients are always wowed when they come into our showroom
because they see an idea that was always on their wish list, but never
knew existed until they see our kitchens.”
ARCLINEA KITCHENS, A DIVISION OF NOVA STUDIO INTERNATIONAL, IN NEW YORK, IS AN INVESTMENT IN TIMELESS
ITALIAN DESIGN AND INNOVATIVE DETAILS THAT MAKE A KITCHEN THE MOST WELCOMING SPACE IN THE HOUSE.
“ THE MINDSET OF OUR
TRENDSETTING CLIENTS HAS
CHANGED TO ONE OF WANTING
VALUE AND A TIMELESS
INVESTMENT THAT WILL HOLD UP
WELL WITHOUT SACRIFICING HIGH
DESIGN AND FUNCTIONALITY.”

There may be no one that knows the luxury kitchen market better than
Allmilmö’s Lothar C. Birkenfeld. The company’s longtime CEO has
honed Allmilmö’s capacity to customize the top quality German-made
contemporary kitchen cabinetry, as well as European bathroom furniture,
to absolute perfection. “If a color, a type of wood, or a gadget doesn’t
exist, we’ll fi nd it, create it, or fi nd an alternative for our clients,” says
Birkenfeld, who notes that interior designers love the creativity they can
express when specifying an Allmilmö kitchen. “We haven’t had a request
for an unusual color yet because we offer so many colors already.”
Allmilmö thrives on its ability to have complete quality control over
its products because of its highly automated and advanced factory in
Germany, which manufactures all kitchen cabinet parts, including fronts
themselves. The products are so durable and well-made that Birkenfeld
says that it’s not unusual for the company to get a call from a client with
a 30-year-old Allmilmö kitchen who simply needs a new door hinge. For
example, Allmilmö offers a lacquer fi nish which is at least seven layers
deep and air dried. That matters because air-dried lacquer is much
more durable than a baked-on fi nish. Allmilmö’s expertise in the highest
quality bookmatched veneer is legendary, as well.
A L L M I L M Ö THE FANTASTIC KITCHEN AND BATH
For 2011, Birkenfeld sees more kitchens designed with a combination
of fi nishes, whether it’s lacquer with veneer or lacquer with glass or
steel. But that’s why Allmilmö’s customization process stands as the
company’s strongest suit. “According to the Webster dictionary, custom
means anything made or modifi ed to personal taste,” adds Birkenfeld.
From clients who prefer the look of fl at, fl ush cabinetry without handles
or pulls to the homeowner who wants veneer crafted from a beloved
family tree, Allmilmö has the unsurpassed custom capabilities to bring
original ideas to reality.

EXIST, WE’LL FIND IT, CREATE

Even in a tough economy, cabinet expert and East Hill Cabinetry owner
Anthony Maucieri has managed to develop his business and become
one of the most successful stories in kitchen and bath design over the
past decade. In fact, the company’s revenues have grown 2,600 percent
since opening its doors in 2007. At the age of 26, and with a background
steeped in cabinetry design and renovation, Maucieri has tapped into a
need in Westchester homeowners who are seeking a kitchen and bath
design fi rm with the highest level of service.
While every renovation is stressful, East Hill is devoted to minimizing
the anxiety with its seamless process that bridges the gap between
design and construction. Maucieri’s ability to understand, relate, and
appropriately react to his clients’ demands comes from his many years
of experience working with contractors. “I realized that there was a
need in the marketplace for a different kind of renovation process,”
says Maucieri about his decision to open a full-service showroom in
Briarcliff Manor. “At East Hill, clients receive personal service from a
family business with a superb reputation and a complete dedication to
customer satisfaction.”
In addition to superior service and top-quality products, East
Hill Cabinetry has recently launched The Hidden Hills Collection, an
E A S T H I L L C A B I N E T R Y
exclusive line of handcrafted, hand-joined custom cabinets. Every
detail of the collection is custom-designed by East Hill Cabinetry and
hand-built by Countryside Woodcraft, a team of Mennonite craftsmen
and a family-owned business located in Massachusetts. To maintain the
highest quality, The Hidden Hills Collection can only be created for eight
kitchens per year, and are installed by the craftsmen who constructed
them. “With a guaranteed lifetime warranty, our cabinets are designed
like furniture, made to outlast generations with complete precision and
careful attention to detail,” adds Maucieri.
SINCE DESIGNING OVER ONE HUNDRED PROJECTS, EAST HILL CABINETRY IS PROUD TO CLAIM 100 PERCENT
SATISFACTION FROM EVERY CL IENT.

certainly a challenge, but this family-owned, full-
service design fi rm and major appliance sales and
installation company is well known for the years
of experience it brings to New York City-specifi c
projects. Elgot’s staff has the knowledge in
handling issues unique to Manhattan’s residential
projects, including small-space planning, air
conditioning and major appliance installation, to

regulations.
“Today, our Manhattan clients are looking
for kitchen products that offer more quality and
value than ever before,” says Ellen Elias, whose
father and uncle founded Elgot over 65 years

need to enjoy living in the space.”
Besides superior service and knowledge of
what it takes to get a kitchen or bath built in the
city, Elgot offers Manhattanites what they crave

one of Elgot’s newer cabinetry lines, has ample
base cabinets, lift-up wall cabinet doors, and
refi ned shelf designs so every available inch of
space is used for storage. In addition, Elgot’s
showroom features a large selection of appliances
from Miele and Sub-Zero to Viking, Wolf, Bosch,

Manhattan kids can have the best of
contemporary Italian design, too, when they
have semi-custom bedroom furniture from the
European Kitchen Center (EKC). “It’s tough
to fi nd quality and well-designed children’s
furniture for small New York City spaces,” says
Jim Pinkenberg of EKC. “Clients often fi nd that
buying lower-cost kids’ furnishings is just a
bandage on a space problem.”
When a family of four moves into a two-
bedroom apartment, EKC’s solutions can help
siblings live together in harmony in one room.
EKC’s solutions to the urban children’s bedroom
dilemma include various confi gurations of semi-
customized bedding, cabinetry, and platforms
arranged to make every inch count with ample
built-in workspace and storage. The furniture fi ts
into small spaces like puzzle pieces, with layers
of moveable components and cabinetry.
As in Italy, where a properly designed
children’s furniture line is typically found in a
design center carrying kitchen cabinetry, EKC has
followed tradition. The children’s furniture line
is an outgrowth of EKC’s modern Italian kitchen
cabinetry line, Assim. “Our newest cabinet doors
are now thicker, and shorter toe kicks make Assim
look more like living room furniture than kitchen
cabinetry,” adds Pinkenberg. The newest colors
to complement the crisp, clean lines of Assim’s
kitchen cabinets are Tobacco—a less-extravagant
gold tone, and Hemp—a grayer beige that has an
earthier hue.

Grande Central Showrooms, a division of Central Plumbing Specialties, offers an unparalleled and diverse selection of quality products for kitchen and
bath, from traditional and contemporary to transitional and eclectic. Its newest showroom on 56th Street in Manhattan caters expressly to architects and
the design community, offering products from international designers such as Phillipe Starck, Sieger, Ross Lovegrove, and Norman Foster, plus Duravit,
Lacava, Bissonnet, Grohe, Julien, Zucchetti, Villeroy & Boch, and KWC, just to name a few.
Warren Frankel, vice president, attributes the company’s growing success, even in a competitive economic climate, to its outstanding customer
service, along with an enormous selection of products from numerous manufacturers. “Our showroom staff has extensive product knowledge because
they are frequently trained in house by the manufacturers, and they can troubleshoot problems on any project,” Frankel adds.
Frankel and his showroom managers have seen a shift in customers’ wants and needs when it comes to kitchens and baths. “For example, many
clients are leaving off the bells and whistles when designing second and third bathrooms,” says Frankel. “But they are choosing quality products. They
understand that if they buy durable, high quality products, it will be less expensive for them in the long run.” But showroom managers agree that there is
one luxury detail that appears to be popular for today’s bathrooms—the escutcheon, a protective plate that goes around shower trims and accessories.
For more ideas, tour all four of Grande Central Showrooms where you will see different displays unique to each destination.

New Yorkers have everything but space, and
after over twenty years of modular system
installations in Manhattan, techlineStudio’s
motto remains “furniture that fi ts,” says Gavin
Bromell, architect and company owner. “While
we are offering a wider range of material and
fi nish options than ever before, they are being
deployed in ever-smaller spaces.”
In addition to an expanding demand for
space-effi cient design strategies, Gavin is
seeing an increasing interest in environmentally
sound solutions. “Our newest line of cabinetry,
BREATH, is made from renewable bamboo
veneers on formaldehyde-free substrates. When
used with countertops of Paperstone, or quartz
with recycled content, these cabinets are both
beautiful and functional,” he adds.
Newer options from techlineStudio
include metal cabinet door frames by Elements
in six different profi les. Each profi le accepts a
wide range of insert materials, ranging from
textured glass to Lumicor and Parapan acrylics.
Another popular option techlineStudio offers
is high-gloss thermofoil fronts, which are a
very cost effective and environmentally kinder
alternative to high-gloss lacquer.
Coordinate your entire home with
techlineStudio’s custom-fi t cabinetry solutions
for home offi ces, Murphy bed and entertainment
units, libraries, children’s bedrooms, and, of
course, pantries, bar areas, and kitchens.

Who is the newest quartz kid on the block? That would be Quartz Master, a division of American Stone Collection. Prepare to be dazzled when you walk
through the doors of Quartz Master’s 225,000-square-foot showroom and warehouse, stocked with the most exquisite slabs of quartz in over 40 colors,
and all with the lowest prices in the industry.
Quartz Master’s products have several outstanding features. Slabs are made with more than 93-percent natural quartz—the hardest non-precious
stone—and bound together by resins. All 120-foot-by-64-foot slabs are usable, which eliminates clean cuts, creates less seaming, and offers more
fl exibility when it comes to design options. Since quartz is not prone to fl aws that occur with natural stone, Quartz Master’s slabs create a visually
consistent surface from end to end, and are easy to match for even the largest countertops. Compared to granite, quartz has superior resistance to heat,
stains, scratches, and mold and mildew. It does not need to be sealed, and it cleans easily with soap and water or a mild detergent.
Quartz Master can be used for a variety of applications, not just for countertops, vanities, and backsplashes. The material is nonporous, easy to clean,
sanitary, and maintenance free, making it ideal for toilet partitions, desktops, tub and shower surrounds, restaurant tables, bar and service areas, and even
fi replace surrounds and mantels. Quartz Master’s products have a lifetime warranty.

Since launching his full-service interior design fi rm in 1993, Bruce
Norman Long has honed his personal design philosophy. “A successful,
professionally decorated home will look as if someone hasn’t been there,
but of course I have,” Long says about his well-known reputation for
sidestepping fads in favor of timeless design. “Nothing dates a house
like a trend-inspired kitchen or bathroom.”
From family-style kitchens for period homes to streamlined spaces
for contemporary urban apartments, Long’s designs can be found from
Manhattan to abroad. Long says that
kitchen design has evolved over time from
the once popular glazed cabinetry fi nishes
to that of solid paint colors such as warm
putty or black. He also sees a return to
simplicity. “Clients don’t want their kitchens
to look like libraries anymore,” Long says,
adding that he notices clients requesting
more solid-wood kitchens, such as maple
or oak. Clients are also more receptive to
B R U C E N O R M A N L O N G I N T E R I O R D E S I G N
engineered stone, as well as soapstone, for countertops and islands. Those
who want granite now prefer the matte look—and Long recently specifi ed
a leathered granite top treatment for an ocean-front home.
For bathrooms, Long rarely deviates from white, beige, or gray.
“Fixtures and tile should never go out of style, but you can always add
personality to a bath with paint and accessories,” he says. But, trends do
have a place in powder rooms, Long adds. “That’s where I throw caution
to the wind.”
