Chef’s Dream

  • Open concept design, integrating the kitchen with dining/living space for entertaining.

• Appliances:

  • Install professional-grade appliances, including:
    • A 6-burner gas range with dual ovens and griddle.
    • Built-in wall ovens with smart features.
    • High-capacity, stainless steel refrigerator and freezer.

  • Deep drawers for pots and pans, with pull-out organizers.
  • Tall cabinets with pull-out shelving for pantry storage.
  • Specialized compartments for small appliances, spices, and utensils.
  • Walk-in pantry with custom shelving.

• Countertops & Backsplash:

  • Install durable, heat- and scratch-resistant countertops, such as quartz or granite.
  • Use a contemporary, easy-to-clean tile backsplash that adds elegance and visual interest.

• Lighting:

  • Layered lighting system, including task lighting (under-cabinet), ambient lighting (recessed ceiling lights), and accent lighting (pendant lights over the island).
  • Smart lighting system controlled via a mobile app or voice assistant.

• Plumbing:

  • Install a large, deep undermount sink with a touchless faucet.
  • Add a pot filler above the stove for convenience.
  • Install a high-efficiency water filtration system.

• Smart Technology:

  • Wi-Fi-enabled appliances with remote control capabilities.
  • Smart lighting and thermostat systems for energy efficiency.
  • Touchscreen control panel to manage all smart devices, including oven timers, lighting, and music.

• Flooring:

  • Install durable, easy-to-clean, and slip-resistant flooring, such as porcelain tile or engineered hardwood.

• Ventilation & HVAC:

  • Ensure proper ventilation with a high-efficiency range hood to eliminate smoke and odors.
  • Upgrade or modify HVAC system for optimal temperature control and air quality.

• Finishes:

  • High-end finishes such as brushed nickel hardware, sleek stainless steel, or matte black for a modern, professional look.
