ome design is evolving fast, heavily influenced by life stages and the modern lifestyle. The National Kitchen & Bath Association conducted extensive research to determine what’s behind certain

design elements, with a deeper dive into how functional and emotional needs of homeowners impact design, and why kitchens and baths are headed in various directions. Here’s how the four macro themes

revealed by NKBA’s “Living Impacts Design” study are inf luencing home design.

Click here to learn more about the NKBA Living Impacts Design Study, and to receive a special discount on the full report.

Methodology: A total of 759 designers, manufacturers, kitchen and bath specialists, dealers, showroom professionals and remodelers completed surveys about what their homeowner clients are requesting; 77 percent of respondents were NKBA members.

Connected Living

Simplified Living

What it means: It’s not just about connected devices.

It also means connection among people, and spaces that promote human interaction, with tech designed to serve that end. Open-plan kitchens are inviting, cozy and warm — just right for engaging family and friends.

What it means: Let’s face it — most of us have too much stuff. No matter how much we purge, we still need plenty of storage to keep spaces clean and clutter-free. Forget the tchotchkes — especially for Millennials, who far value experiences over “things.”

Fast Facts:

Fast Facts:

+ 82% value inclusion and visibility with open kitchen layouts and sight lines to other parts of the living space. + 75% prioritize an inviting entertaining area. + 64% want multifunctional kitchens for different activities. + 57% emphasize great Wi-Fi and Internet connection to call up recipes, cooking inspiration and instruction. + 58% say materials like natural stone countertops and tile make a connection with the environment and nature, and provide a sense of well-being.

+ 35% express a desire to live with less, only with things they love. + 76% say homeowners want targeted storage for specific items, like pots and pans, odd-sized trays, utensils, spices, bathroom products and accessories — meaning there’s a place for everything. + 51% of Millennials crave well-organized spaces, minimal clutter and a sense of organization. + 48% opt for commercial finishes and fabrics as easyclean, low-maintenance material choices.

Living In Place

Healthy Living

What it means: Making spaces safe, comfortable and accessible for anyone — regardless of age, physical challenges or life stage — is the cornerstone of Living In Place. Uncongested f loorplans, handles and faucets that are easy to operate and low-maintenance materials make life easier for everyone.

What it means: Make life healthier through a deeper connection with nature, maximizing outdoor views, balancing circadian rhythms with lighting, selecting natural materials like wood and stone, earthy tones, and quite significantly, healthy eating, storing and preparing fresh foods.

Fast Facts:

Connected Living “Our world has become so ‘connected’ in the technology sense, but it’s so important to emphasize the connection among people. Homeowners want their kitchens to promote human interaction — and the connected devices, appliances and systems will be in place to serve that end. Open-plan kitchens will be inviting, cozy and warm. Perhaps this is a way to take the edge off all the tech!”

Jonas Carnemark, CKD, CLIPP Principal, Carnemark design + build and KONST Siematic, Bethesda, MD

Living In Place

“Designing with the future in mind makes the house ready when the people who live there need it… like installing supports behind the walls for future grab bars, ensuring 36-inch clearance areas for mobility devices, non-slip flooring, touchless or voice-control faucets, pivot doors, zero-threshold doorways and shower entries and uncongested layouts that promote smooth flow throughout the space.”

Sarah Robertson, AKBD Founder and Principal, Studio Dearborn, Mamaroneck, NY

Simplified Living

“One key to serenity in uncertain times is rooted in an organized space. Design solutions that help keep spaces clean and clutter-free with customized storage, especially in the kitchen and bath, are essential to simplified living. Easy-to-clean, antimicrobial surfaces and materials are key. We’re all too busy to spend precious weekend hours cleaning and straightening.

The design should help do that.”

Laurence Carr CEO and Creative Director, Laurence Carr Design, New York

Healthy Living “A healthy home promotes emotional, physical and environmental health. Our environment has a great impact on stress levels. A connection with nature and minimalist design reduces stress, with clean, uncluttered spaces, well-organized cabinetry and targeted storage. Air and water filtration/purification help our physical wellbeing. Sustainability helps the environment with integrated recycling/composting and energy efficiency.”

While Manhattan apartment towers climb ever taller, some New Yorkers still yearn for a singlefamily town house on a tree-lined lane. A financial executive and his wife found their dream home on one of the West Village’s best-preserved streets. The property itself, however, was a diamond in the rough. One of five identical brownstones built in 1869, it was nearly moribund, chopped up into eight studio apartments. Any original architectural details had been stripped off decades ago.

After buying this fractured piece of history, the couple hired Mark Zeff to transform it into a comfortable home for themselves and their two children. His firm, known as Markzeff, had already remodeled several projects on the same landmark-protected block.

Conjuring up a contemporary interpretation of a classic town house took three years—much of it spent applying for permits from the city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission, then appealing its decisions.

While there was no problem getting a permit to restore the front stoop, there was some pushback on Zeff’s proposal to add 4 feet of depth to the back of the house. Ultimately, he prevailed. The next steps were the demolition of all four existing levels—save for the landmarked facade—and the excavation of the cellar for a more livable amount of headroom. “We made the house work for a young family living in the 21st century,” Zeff says.

Row houses are notoriously dark, since sunlight enters only at the front and back. On the street-facing facade, Zeff was restricted to installing period-appropriate sash windows. The rear addition is another story. For each level, he designed a window so large that it basically amounts to a glass wall.

Eschewing a traditional standalone dining room, Zeff opened up the parlor floor, now clad in 12-inchwide oak floorboards, into living and dining areas that flow straight into the kitchen. “I like wood floors in kitchens,” he says. “I don’t like breaking up an open space with a lot of different flooring materials.

That only makes the space look smaller.”

The garden level, directly above, retains its street entrance, after which come a mudroom, a family room, and a media room that can function as an office or a guest room. The first bedroom level, below the children’s quarters, is given over to the master suite. There, the bathroom is dominated by cement floor tile made using a 19th-century technique in which the floral pattern is poured into the framework before drying.

“The house is the sum of my professional experiences, my childhood, and everything I love”

Laurent Guez once harbored dreams of being an architect in Paris. But after studying industrial design at the city’s École des Arts Appliqués, life led him to Montreal, where he opened branding agency Tux Creative Co. That was 10 years ago. Since then, Guez has steered nationwide advertising campaigns, designed retail pop-ups, even dabbled in music videos. The studio’s first residential project—and first foray into interior design and architecture proper—is Guez’s own home, a ground-up build in the rural village of Abercorn, near the Quebec-Vermont border, completed with a technical assist from local architect Guillaume Kukucka.

The four-bedroom home (Guez also keeps a pied-à-terre in Montreal for work) comprises a quartet of interconnected, offset volumes overlooking a workshop and a swimming pool on a graded, boulder-strewn site.

It’s intentionally reminiscent of a farm, with a central courtyard and outbuildings.

Inside and out, Guez used materials traditionally applied to barn exteriors, like corrugated sheet metal and seamed aluminumcomposite panels. (“Think of a pig barn!” he told suppliers, who’d look suitably shocked.)

With this flipped outside/inside approach, he explains, “you get the same effect as camping: feeling a part of nature yet protected.”

That’s not to say there’s no glamour. Some walls are metallic—undoubtedly the first time his contractors had ever specified siding in standard RAL gold. “To me, gold is a neutral,” Guez demurs. The rippling corrugation throws shadows in the concaves, lending depth. Other seamed metal walls are a contrasting black, framing views as landscape paintings. For the placement of windows, Guez analyzed the trajectory of the sun across the day and throughout the seasons, modelling the way it danced sunbeams inside. He compares the effect to “graphic design on walls,” an apt metaphor considering Tux’s stock in trade.

The floor plan, meanwhile, derives from M.C. Escher’s dizzying drawings of “impossible constructions.” With its open gallery that rises though all levels, mezzanine catwalks, split-level configuration, and mash-up of doors that range from 6 to 11 feet high, the architecture unfolds as a succession of volumes and perspectives. “Every element encourages connection and progressive discovery,” the designer notes. His love of Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window sparked a play with sight lines. From a dining room window, for instance, one can see into the kitchen volume through its fenestration. (Instead of James 22

Stewart spying on the neighbors, though, the voyeurism is reflexive, a circularity Escher would surely have enjoyed.)

Guez painted a salvaged freestanding tub his beloved International Klein Blue; its clear plastic shower curtain the perfect low-fi addition. In the master suite, convention is subverted as one enters via the walk-in closet and bathroom, which then leads to the sleeping area. As for the kitchen, its open plan is organized restaurant-style around professional islands topped in stainless steel.

Materials are industrial, with black steel prevailing. A café-style counter swoops around a corner below window walls, and an inset swath of Barber Osgerby Puzzle tile defines the floor like a patterned area rug.

The kitchen has become the central gathering place when friends visit from his native France. That is, when it’s not in use as a sought-after photo shoot location for chichi Canadian fashion and housewares brands.

Jim Gearen is surprisingly low-key for someone who inhabits such posh digs. “I call it the attic,” the retired real estate exec says.

Actually, it’s a 38th-floor three-bedroom penthouse in the tallest structure in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. Tucked into the building’s mansard roof, the 4,000square-foot space sports loftlike vaulted ceilings and arched windows and doors that frame jaw-dropping vistas of the lake plus five outdoor balconies.

Always on the lookout for new projects (he has built or renovated six spaces over the past two decades), Gearen bought the penthouse unfinished and commissioned dSpace Studio to make it a home. “We wanted the interior and the views to take

center stage, so this was an exercise in restraint,” explains founder and principal architect Kevin Toukoumidis, who collaborated with principal Tom Hagerty. “The space just flows, and that’s because it’s so edited and carefully thought-out.” The design team embraced the arched windows and existing vault details, for example, mimicking the sweeping lines throughout.

Gearen weighed in on every aspect of the design, including the wall color used throughout: a white that contains both brown and black undertones so it pairs equally well with warm and cool colors. The European oak flooring, laid in a large-scale herringbone, does the same. Its pinkish hue brings out the warmth in the blanched walls

and complements the steel shelving the architects recessed into arched niches in the living area and the study. “You see the manufacturing process in the texture of the steel, and that was important to all of us,” Hagerty explains. “The overall design is pretty minimal, so we selected materials that provide a sense of depth.”

Custom European oak cabinetry in the open kitchen provides a rich counterbalance to the waterfall-style quartz island and gray-veined porcelain backsplash. The same material palette distinguishes three of the unit’s four bathrooms, most notably the master, a serene space built around a soaker tub with front-row skyline views. “There’s a feeling of balance and harmony in every

room,” explains Minneapolis-based interior designer Ruth Johnson, who has worked with Gearen on many projects.

One evening, late in the project, Gearen and the architects met at the space and, over Mediterranean takeout, tested some of the many new cutting-edge LED products on the market. A design by iGuzzini made the cut; it projects an LED “blade” that crisply frames each window with no glare. “The scheme creates layers of light that perfectly showcases the architecture’s complex geometry,” Toukoumidis concludes.

John Friedman and Alice Kimm are thoroughly modern architects. That said, Friedman sounds a caveat about contemporary residential design: “I’m tired of boxy, stacked architecture,” he says firmly. He and Kimm— married co-principals of John Friedman Alice Kimm Architects—were waiting for what she calls “simpatico clients who would let us explore the curved forms we’ve used in more institutional projects.” That’s precisely what they got when a couple with multicultural heritages commissioned a new house in Santa Monica, California.

The clients’ respective backgrounds factored strongly in JFAK’s process: Born in L.A. and raised blocks from the present site, the

husband has European-Moroccan roots; the wife, a Brazilian, grew up in Rio de Janeiro, where her parents moved often, building homes along the way. Play a word-association game with those givens, and thoughts of colorful tile work and graceful buildings redolent of the samba, Brazil’s insinuating national dance-rhythm, spring to mind.

But before the architects let such seductive imagery flood their imaginations, they had to establish a floor plan. The house needed to be large—there were two young daughters to accommodate—but not overwhelming. JFAK determined that a two-story building of just under 4,000 square feet would be perfectly scaled for the suburban neighborhood.

JFAK located the family’s everyday quarters at the rear of the house, where the kitchen, den, and dining area conjoin to create a convivial hang-out space that opens up via stacked sliding doors to the backyard. A double-height living room at the front of the residence provides for less casual entertaining. Upstairs, the master suite and terrace face the backyard; the children’s bedrooms and baths look out to the front and side.

With the plan largely in place, the architects could concentrate on what the house would look like. “Our decision not to put a second floor over the living room gave us freer rein in manipulating exterior and interior forms,” says Friedman, who was able

“The curved volumes are not frivolous forms but relate to movement—there’s something joyful about them”

Top: In an oblique nod to Brazil’s national sport, the cement-tile pattern in a child’s skylit bathroom suggests soccer balls. Bottom: In the master bath, terrazzo-tile flooring joins walls tiled in a wave motif based on mosaic paving at Copacabana Beach.

to show the clients a number of options.

When the most biomorphic scheme was revealed—an undulating wood shell finished in brilliant white plaster—the wife zeroed in on it “with a huge smile,” Kimm reports.

The house presents a mostly rectilinear face to the street, where a picture window protrudes from the facade like an enormous TV monitor. If the curves are restrained at the front, they explode at the rear, where a plethora of sinuous lines, planes, and solids define, frame, and enfold the wide-open kitchen and family areas, creating an extraordinary degree of indoor-outdoor integration. A deep, free-form soffit looms above an amoebashape granite-top table in the kitchen area.

Finishes and furnishings are mostly subdued. However, the architects went for full tropical splendor in the bathrooms. The master bath is especially exuberant, its walls tiled in a blue-and-white wave pattern based on the mosaic that paves Copacabana Beach’s famous oceanfront promenade.

aidlin darling design site Glen Ellen, California standout Although the kitchen’s connection to terra firma is reinforced via budget-friendly concrete flooring, no expense was spared when it came to the subtly detailed cerused-oak cabinetry spanning a whole wall. Blackened-steel stools the owners found on Etsy pull up to an island with veined solid-surfacing that mimics Carrara marble. Since the kitchen only has glazing along one elevation, ADD cleverly mirrored its back wall to reflect sky and greenery and soak in the views. photography Matthew Millman

“Each layer is as different as possible: The impenetrable exterior, the soft interior—you could say it’s masculine and feminine”

nathanael dorent architecture and lily jencks studio site Dumfries, Scotland standout The orthogonal exterior and fluid interior reflect the key characteristic of the surrounding countryside: the straight lines of stone walls cutting across rolling hills. Ancient granite walls—the ruins of an 18th-century farmhouse—surround a pitch-roofed box clad in conspicuously contemporary man-made black rubber. That envelope, in turn, contains a curvaceous white shell with CNC-cut plywood ribs. For insulation and acoustics as well as to achieve the sculpted form, Styrofoam blocks were shaped by hand and coated in glass-reinforced plastic painted bone white. photography Sergio Pirrone

dash marshall site San Miguel, California standout In redesigning a farmhouse for a pair of empty nesters, the firm preserved the existing 30-year-old exterior and renovated the interior piece by piece, like Theseus’s ship, until it was totally new. In the open kitchen, a perforated aluminum partition slides back to reveal what the architects refer to as a “super pantry.” The clients asked for agrarian references while also wanting a space that was fresh and contemporary.

The primary wood species used throughout nods to the home’s site on an active walnut farm. Metalwork was executed by craftspeople who typically repair tractors and other equipment. The pantry’s door, meanwhile, is meant to evoke that of a barn. photography Bruce Damonte

Nonessential walls were reconfigured or replaced by massive sliding doors, and the rest were sheathed in bright and airy white paint or monolithic panels of pale rift-cut oak. Furnishings are equally streamlined, a mid-century modern and contemporary mix that includes pieces by Eero Saarinen, Yabu Pushelberg, Marcel Wanders, and in the kitchen, elegant waterfall stools by Shin and Tomoko Azumi. photography Scott Frances/Otto

TOP 10 KITCHEN & BATH TRENDS NKBA’s exclusive 2021 Design Trends report reveals the top directions in

design, from materials and colors to layout and tech. Several key trends directly

relate to issues surfacing during the pandemic, particularly the desire for health/ wellness, connected-home technology and dedicated spaces for new roles our homes are playing in everyday life. Here are 10 key takeaways: ALL TOGETHER NOW (left) Kitchen layouts are being designed with gathering in mind. L-shaped kitchens with large islands dominate.

HOOK ME UP Dedicated areas for device charging, viewing screens or monitors topped all others as the most desirable kitchen technology going forward.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS (right) 65% of designers surveyed said their volume of outdoor living area projects had increased, with three in four reporting they had designed or specified outdoor kitchens in the past year.

RISING STYLE STAR (this page, top) Perhaps as part of a desire to connect with nature, Organic/Natural cracked the top three style categories, behind contemporary and transitional. It was the ninth most popular style in the 2019 study. Organic/Natural also placed 3rd behind contemporary and transitional for bath design, moving up from 7th in 2019.

Reisa Pollard

BYE-BYE BATHTUB (this page, middle) The most popular layout trend for the primary bathroom, cited by 60% of respondents, is removal of the tub to allow for a larger shower.

PRIMARY UPGRADE The most common spending range for the primary bathroom over the past 12 months was $20,000 to $30,000.

SMARTS IN THE SPA 68% said bidets and/or smart toilets were the hottest new bathroom additions, while smart

temperature control for bathroom floors and showers also topped the list.

CASH IN THE KITCHEN The majority of kitchen remodels in the past year were midsized, between 150 and 350 square feet, with the median expenditure between $40,000 and $55,000. For large kitchens over 350 square feet, 43% spent more than $100,000.

COLOR MY WORLD (this page, top) New colors — not neutrals but actual colors — especially deep and darker tones, are more popular, as are contrasting colors for islands.

Black cabinetry is also a hot trend right now.

LIGHTEN UP (left page, bottom) For countertops and backsplashes, quartz in light colors wins the day for next three years, as it does for bathroom vanities.
