Trusted as design experts, Bakes & Kropp was enlisted to design cabinetry in the gut renovation and design of a prominent design aficionado and influencer's Upper East Side kitchen. Steps from Central Park, the kitchen sits at garden level, flooding light through grand windows. All five levels of the home, including the kitchen, were gutted to the studs, allowing our team to design a custom cabinetry layout with new mechanicals within the bright, clean, and airy open concept.

Classic Straton cabinetry hand-painted in a crisp white chosen by the client lends to the quintessentially-chic kitchen. Polished nickel accents repeat in the custom-designed latches and slope front hood.Behind the Classic Straton cabinet doors, custom fittings maximize storage concealing cookware, pantry space, and even a beverage fridge. The marble countertop is accented by the cool glow of the underlit cabinets, equipped with a hidden row of outlets for countertop appliances. The kitchen's centerpiece, a custom cerused white oak island offers additional storage as well as a prep and entertaining space.
