If you lived closer and could have done our kitchen, we might have been tempted...!

Looks gorgeous!

Wow...that is gorgeous...the epitome of clean lines. I really look forward to seeing this when done. FABULOUS!!!

I hope that when you complete this kitchen you will be able to give us the details--brands, models, finishes, etc. It is not my usual style at all and yet I am very impressed. My DS2 would absolutely flip over it. You have done a masterful job here. Congratulations.

Simple, elegant with great, crisp lines! Stunning!

I did 1 kitchen in NY without flying there and turn out perfect!
also I did one in napa with 2 visit :-)
one in the beginning for measurement and then at the delivery.

Both project I'm very happy how they turn out and also the clients are very happy. :-)

so... next time .. ;-) actually if I can ask where do you live? maybe I will consider doing a vacation trip :-)

ciao ciao

Congrats giacomo, it looks beautiful. I love the sink.

Go Modern! :)

Gorgeous. Modern, modern, rah, rah, rah!!

Great job Giacomo. Love the colours and feeling of space.

Bellissimo, Giacomo! Che piacere vedere questa bella cucuina!

Ah Giacomo, our kitchen is now 3 years post reno, and while it is not a Giacomo creation, we are pretty happy with it. :-) I do love and admire modern kitchens (we call ours organic contemporary, but it's also been called mid-century modern).

We're actually in NY, about 40 min-1 hr north of NYC.

Oh Giacomo, whenever I see you've posted a thread, my eyes light up. I KNOW it's going to be gorgeous. What a treat to open this thread and see the photos of the beautiful kitchen.

I can't wait to read more details. Particularly about the backsplashes.

Also, I notice there are no handles anywhere except the fridge. Is that because you have not installed handles yet, or because you are having the most minimalist look possible?

I'm looking forward to details and the final pictures too! This is really a gorgeous look, and what's not to love with all those surrounding windows.

I noticed this is in Hinsdale; I'm in the next town (Clarendon Hills.) There are some lovely homes in the area and this is certainly one of them!

What type of undermount lighting did you use and is there a lightrail (if so how high) on the cabinets?

I really love it - and even though it is modern, I think the simple lines mean it will never really go out of style. There will always be people that will gravitate to such a beautiful look. Its a bit like Art Deco or Mid Century reinvented.

Wonderful! Will the dishwasher not have handles? How?

the backsplash at the cooktop is tiles of carrara marble.

the backsplash at the bar area is "pietra dell'essere" by Impronta .. of course italian company.

The whole kitchen is handleless but when I design the kitchen I suggested to the owner with gaggenau/thermadors columns take have handleless look. But when the client went to a famous BIG appliances store in Chicago area the sales man sold to her the subzero fridge. :-( .. so unfortunately I couldn't changed the client idea.

the lights under the wall unit are halogen but I have a trick! to hide them ;-)

yes the 2 dishwashers are also handleless.. the kitchen is designed to have a groove between countertop and cabinets and there is a recess to grab the dw door. if I find a picture I will posted.

I know this post is quite old but was wondering what brand you used for the Hinsale kitchen cabinets?

Thanks, kiktx!
