A Professional Chef’s Dream Kitchen

Emily Cole • April 28, 2023

A case study of a kitchen remodel project, creating a professional-level kitchen while maintaining the style you’d expect in a residential home.

Here at Kitchen Design Center by Gramophone, every project is unique and we embrace the challenges this often brings to create a space personal to our clients and tailored to their needs. We were recently called in by a professional Chef to assist in a kitchen build gone wrong. His needs as a Chef were discussed and the kitchen was designed to give a professional-level kitchen in a residential setting. 


As a professional chef, our client had many specific needs in relation to the design and function of his kitchen. Although the kitchen needed to operate on a commercial level, our designers were also cognizant of delivering a design that was also beautiful. 


All of the professional-grade appliances were supplied by our client, which our designer was able to incorporate into the kitchen’s design adding functionality, as a true Chef would appreciate. 


The kitchen island is a big and important part of this project, housing a very functional stainless steel countertop, ideal for prep work, and the cooktop with ample space for serving. The rest of the kitchen space now has a beautiful Fantasy Brown Granite countertop, backsplash, and a stainless steel prep sink. By incorporating floor-to-ceiling cabinets and the addition of a library ladder our client gained loads of extra storage.


We were further able to bring the room together utilizing the existing hardwood floors exaggerating the contrast between the two-toned perimeter cabinets and a black island finished with a beautiful stainless steel countertop. 


We know we succeeded when our Chef tells us how well his kitchen works for him in both form and function. 


Products that were used for this project:


Cabinetry from Waypoint in Painted Linen, Painted Stone, and Painted Black

Countertop- Brown Fantasy

Main Faucet– Brizo Odin Semi-professional in Matte Black

Main Sink- Kraus Stainless Steel Workstation sink

Hardware- from Belwith Keeler, Brighton Collection in Satin Nickel

Flooring- original flooring
