Set in a Southampton neighborhood on Long Island, this kitchen refresh was led by Senior Designer Guillaume Dupré for a newly purchased home. Entrusted with complete creative freedom—guided only by the homeowner’s singular request for a stylish green palette—the design team utilized Bakes & Kropp’s Meridian Collection to transform an aging interior into an upscale, highly tailored environment. The resulting composition balances the custom green-painted cabinetry with polished white quartz surfaces and warm brass accents, establishing a vibrant yet sophisticated aesthetic.
Faced with a compact footprint, the layout was meticulously engineered to optimize every inch of available space without sacrificing capability. The primary workflow follows a structured L-shaped configuration, culminating in a custom Bakes & Kropp range hood that serves as a commanding visual anchor. Bordering the main cooking area, an expansive pantry wall delivers high-capacity storage, keeping everyday essentials completely concealed to maintain clean, uninterrupted sightlines.
A white, quartz-topped island defines the center of the room, echoing the material narrative of the surrounding countertops and full-height backsplash. This hub provides a dedicated gathering space for guests while cleverly housing integrated appliances, including a wine cooler and a dishwasher, to maximize efficiency. Bringing a sense of polished cohesion to the space, classic brass hardware and finishes serve as a connective thread across the cabinetry. Through a thoughtful interplay of color, material, and layout, the design proves that constraints can yield incredibly refined, high-performance craftsmanship.
