Project overview

When this Briarcliff Manor family purchased their home, they envisioned a space that could support the realities of modern family life without sacrificing thoughtful design. With young children, frequent guests, and a love for cooking and entertaining, the renovation focused on creating a highly organized home that balances elevated aesthetics with everyday practicality.

The project included a complete kitchen transformation, a new walk-in pantry, three bathroom renovations, custom built-in storage solutions, new hardwood flooring, a custom media center, and a dedicated office workspace. The result is a warm, functional residence designed to evolve alongside the family's needs while maintaining a timeless sense of style.

Design overview

This Briarcliff Manor home was reimagined for a growing family while keeping the feel of a custom residence.

At its heart is a custom kitchen for cooking and entertaining, with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and an oversized Taj Mahal quartzite island as its social center. The same stone continues to a versatile beverage station - coffee bar by morning, full bar by evening, with wine and beverage refrigerators and a secondary sink. A dedicated pantry room adds hidden storage to keep the kitchen uncluttered.

Throughout, light oak flooring, natural stone, and warm metallic accents create a bright, timeless feel. The three bathrooms each carry their own personality within a cohesive palette - elevated yet approachable.

  • Introduce intentional storage solutions throughout the home.
  • Design a kitchen centered around cooking, entertaining, and gathering.
  • Balance family-friendly functionality with elevated finishes.
  • Incorporate timeless materials that support long-term value.
  • Improve organization and daily usability without compromising aesthetics.
  • Create flexible spaces that evolve alongside the family's needs.

"Great design should support the way a family actually lives. By combining thoughtful storage, timeless materials, and spaces designed for gathering, we created a home that feels elevated without ever feeling untouchable."

Kitchen & Pantry

The kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home, combining custom stained wood cabinetry, Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, handcrafted tile, and a premium appliance package. Extensive storage planning ensures the space functions effortlessly for both daily family life and entertaining.

The oversized island acts as both a preparation area and social hub, while the integrated beverage station expands the kitchen's functionality from morning coffee through evening entertaining.

A newly created walk-in pantry provides substantial storage and additional workspace. Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, integrated organization systems, and matching finishes allow the pantry to function as an extension of the kitchen while keeping clutter hidden from view.
