Describe the scope of your services. We are a kitchen and bath design firm that is known for creating attractive and functional spaces that integrate beautifully with our clients’ homes. Although “Kitchens” is in our name, we do so much more than that.
What’s your background? Peter has been designing kitchens, baths and interiors for almost 30 years. He started in his hometown of Detroit, moved on to Boston, and finally settled in the Los Angeles area. Peter has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in interior architecture, which acts as the foundation of his design through careful review of interior elements and features.
How do you view the collaborative process with a client? PHOTOGRAPHED BY NATALIA KNEZEVIC
Our best projects are those where we work closely with our clients. One of the essential aspects of kitchen design is ensuring that it integrates our client’s aesthetic tastes and functional requirements. Once our projects are underway, we insist on regular interactions and visits to assure the project is on time, on budget, and on track aesthetically. We have a commitment to communication and transparency throughout a project.
SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION
How do you collaborate with other professionals on a job? We very much enjoy working with our clients’ interior designers or architects when they are also engaged in a project. When we collaborate with designers and architects, we provide our professional expertise in a very complex and detail driven area of home design that might not be their strong suit. However, we also get the opportunity to work creatively as part of a team, helping us to grow professionally and to be even better designers.
How important is client satisfaction to you? Client satisfaction is of utmost importance to us—it is what drives and sustains us. Our clients know that we pour our heart and soul into every project, spending as much time and energy as needed to fulfill their vision. As the project nears completion, our clients see us as friends.
