Set in the coastal enclave of Amagansett, New York, this tasteful and welcoming kitchen blends classic Brooklyn-inspired charm with modern culinary efficiency. Led by Senior Designer Ellen Schott, the family gathering space is built around Bakes & Kropp’s Meridian Collection, hand-painted in Bakes White. The crisp, tailored foundation is enriched by warm Pearl Walnut accents, while the central island is topped with a signature True Walnut surface.
The layout’s perimeter is defined by an appliance wall framed in an icebox-style facade that houses the refrigerator, freezer, and pull-out pantry. This custom millwork detail creates visual continuity across heavy-duty features, establishing a furniture-like quality. To lighten the visual weight of the upper cabinetry, glass doors and open shelving are integrated with subtle interior lighting, offering opportunities to display decorative objects and daily essentials.
High-performance functionality is seamlessly woven throughout the cabinetry with highly personalized storage solutions, including dedicated pullouts for small appliances, vegetables, paper towels, wine bottles, and pantry organization, as well as an integrated coffee station. The design is punctuated by Armac Martin’s Bakes Collection hardware in a polished nickel finish, providing a refined metallic accent across the Meridian silhouette. Through a thoughtful calibration of material, lighting, and specialized storage, the kitchen achieves a harmonious balance of timeless style and everyday utility.
