2011 NKBA Design Award: Best Of Budget-Friendly

Professional and Affordable Kitchen

Linn’s Prestige Kitchens & Baths
Destin, FL
Designer: Allison McCowan

Design Notes: A small kitchen gets a big makeover for a budget under $40,000. Selecting a 30-inch Viking range that had slight damage gave these aspiring chefs a professional-grade appliance at an affordable price. The homeowners installed the tile and sewed the banquette cushion themselves for additional cost savings. Cutting back in these areas allowed them to spend on cabinet organizers, the slate floors, LG stainless steel appliances and Corian countertops.

Products and Materials: Schrock maple cabinetry in Dover finish, Corian countertops in Medea, Corian sink in Glacier White, Kohler faucets, Viking range and ventilation, LG dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator.

2011 NKBA Design Award: Sustainable– Best of Kitchen Views

h2 style="text-align: center;">An Energy-Saving Kitchen

Newton, MA
Designer: Jessica Williamson, AKBD

Design Notes: When this family of five moved from the city to the suburbs, they wanted to build an eco-friendly new home with an open-plan living space featuring a green kitchen. Environmentally conscientious products fill the kitchen, including LEED-certified cabinetry with a no-VOC finish and no added formaldehyde, a recycled glass backsplash, and a recycled redwood counter. A whole-house lighting system makes saving energy easier, and a PEX plumbing system allowed for the installation of a gray-water recover system. An island dining spot lets the kids snack while Mom and Dad cook on the Energy Star appliances.

Products and Materials: GE Monogram appliances, Caesarstone quartz countertops, GreenQuest by Crystal cabinets.

Clean and Open Kitchen

bulthaup by Kitchen Distributors, Inc.
Denver, CO
Designer: William Landeros, CKD
Co-Designer: Jed MacKenzie, CKD

Design Notes: Clean, horizontal lines and a neutral palette give this kitchen a minimal, sleek look.

A 9-centimeter thick alder countertop offers a casual dining space while accenting the horizontal design.

Products and Materials: bulthaup cabinets in grey anodized aluminum with an alder veneer, Gaggenau cooktop and oven, Sharp microwave, Sub-Zero refrigerator, bulthaup ventilation, natural quartzite countertops, Dornbracht faucet, wenge flooring in ebony, Franke sink.
