As promised, by yours truly, may I present this year's Subzero Wolf Traditional Kitchen Design winner, Vasi Ypsilantis of The Breakfast Room Ltd., Manhasset, New York. I find it interesting that both contemporary (see last post) and traditional winners used the color blue and incorporated dark stained wood into their designs even though they are at opposite ends of the design spectrum. Notice how the architectural detail in the ceiling is repeated with the hood. This kitchen has a very authentic turn of the century appeal. In traditional styling it is all about the attention to detail.
WINNING WITH CONTEMPORARY
Every year high end appliance manufacturer Subzero Wolf sponsor a kitchen design contest. This year's winner is Jose Eduardo Calma of Lor Calma & Partners, Makati City, Phillipines. I must confess I LOVE this! The juxtaposition of materials and calm yet sublime use of color puts me in a Zen state of mind. Well done, Jose! If traditional styling is more your cup of tea, stay tuned. My next post will show you the winner in the traditional category. Photo is courtesy of Subzero Wolf.
