Bakes & Kropp transformed this former showhouse kitchen in Bridgehampton, NY to reflect the personalities of its owners. The large size of the kitchen offered plenty of space for us to be creative, providing ample room for two sinks, two dishwashers, and two fridges, among other amenities. Reflecting a luxurious transitional aesthetic, the space is elegant but comfortable and carefully blends a mixture of walnut, painted Classic Meridian cabinetry, stone, and metal accents. Carefully-crafted diagonal wood patterns instill movement in the ceiling, creating a perfect symmetry with the centerline of the island that shares its walnut finish.

The design, conceptualized by Senior Designer Guillaume Dupré, visually lowers the ceiling, creating a wider effect in the narrow space. Polished nickel pendant lights lend a decorative accent, while in-cabinet lighting provides greater illumination. Around the perimeter, a thoughtful balance of white-painted and ceruse Classic Meridian walnut cabinetry provides ample storage and pairs elegantly with marble countertops. Polished Nickel hardware creates a unifying thread throughout the space, while delicate mesh inserts decorate select cabinetry fronts. Sporting a classic Bakes & Kropp aesthetic of transitional luxury and blended balance, this reimagined showhouse kitchen both fulfills the functional needs of its owners and reflects their design sensibilities.
