Bathroom Bliss

A sensational view of a tranquil hillside greets you from a stunning stand-alone tub in this expansive and luxurious resort-like bathroom. Combining the richness of natural wood with the cool blues of an hexagon floor tile and patterned backsplash, the retreat is a feast for the senses. A designer series Sub-Zero 15-inch wine and beverage center holds cold drinks, while the Wolf coffee maker above offers warm refreshments for an indulgent spa day at home.

Party Prep

Entertaining is pure pleasure from this sleek butler’s pantry, where style meets convenience. The contemporary black trim on the Wolf convection microwave and the rich wooden shelves of the Sub-Zero wine storage unit are both striking against the midnight blue cabinetry. The distinctive arched handles on the doors and drawers echo the glimpse of stored wine bottles and complement the gray swirled tile on the countertop and backsplash.

Bar & Lounge

The owners of this suburban Chicago area home from Patrick J Murphy Builders, wanted a warm and inviting gathering place just off their kitchen. The “hearth room,” as they call it, is a comforting retreat for all members of the family, who can enjoy their drink of choice from the built-in wet bar that features an under-counter Sub-Zero beverage refrigerator and a Sub-Zero wine storage unit. Ebony cabinetry is set against cool white walls, with an etched mirror backsplash reflecting the fireplace across the room.

The stunning and serene kitchen that was awarded the first place Traditional Award in the 2017-18 Sub-Zero Kitchen Design Contest was a renovation project in a historically significant home in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta. Matthew Quinn, principal of Design Galleria Kitchen and Bath Studio, collaborated with architect Yong Pak, builder Michael Ladisic, and interior designer Lauren DeLoach to create a functional and fabulous-looking space for a growing family. “This kitchen is part of a new addition to the home, and it was my job to make it seamlessly flow with the existing structure,” says Quinn. “I was given an opportunity to make it work well for the busy homeowners.”

The designated kitchen space was originally one large rectangle open on two sides. Quinn noted that having only two walls for storage wouldn’t be enough for a family that cooks together daily. “My solution was to add a wall in the kitchen and create two separate spaces,” he says. “One side became the kitchen and the other a working pantry.”

Starting from a phenomenal custom-designed range hood crafted of elegant, hammered metal, Quinn worked outward, adding thoughtful design details throughout the kitchen. “I wanted the visual attention to be put on the hood, so I designed wall cabinets that appear to be a single door cut in half to give the feeling of columns flanking this amazing hood.”
