DESIGN NAME:
Scarsdale Nouveau
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Residential Remodel
INSPIRATION:
Influenced by Scarsdale's timeless elegance, Western European finesse, and Scandinavian minimalism, this project arose from the homeowners' unique narratives. The photographer's detail-oriented vision and the wife's art-infused sensibilities guided our direction. Research into tactile materials and traditional craftsmanship allowed us to fuse authenticity with modernity. We endeavored to sculpt a space that resonated deeply with the family, while setting a benchmark in contemporary design.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Melding Scarsdale's classic allure with Western European nuances and Scandinavian minimalism, this design champions curated luxury. At its heart, a tactile kitchen island contrasts with curated art and open-shelving. A standout: ingeniously concealed pantry storage that augments spatial continuity. The bespoke dual-toned kitchen reimagines contemporary craftsmanship, seamlessly integrating heritage with innovation, aesthetics with unmatched functionality.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
This kitchen blends style with utility, fostering natural interactions. Custom cabinetry has a soft-close feature, alternating between hidden and visible spaces. The versatile island shifts from cooking to dining, promoting socializing. Key elements like the tactile countertop boost sensory connection, while concealed storage maximizes space. Rooted in a European-Scarsdale-Scandinavian mix, it underscores user-centric design, enhancing modern kitchen experiences.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The project commenced in 2021, situated in Scarsdale, NY. It involved a comprehensive gut renovation of the entire residence. Spanning a total duration of one year, meticulous care was dedicated to ensuring each facet of the home was revitalized to its utmost potential.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
The kitchen, intricately crafted from oak, was realized in collaboration with a seasoned carpenter from the project's inception. Tadelakt adorned the walls, providing a textured contrast to the reclaimed oak floors. Distinctive cabinet paint types demarcated the pantry and workspace. The countertop, a hand-carved chiseled-edge soapstone, accentuates artisanal craftsmanship. Further enhancing the bespoke nature of the design, suspended brass supports were custom-made to uphold the substantial oak shelving above the island, signifying a marriage of function and aesthetics.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
The kitchen boasts a chiseled soapstone countertop offset by oak cabinets with shaker-paneled doors. Unique brass hardware, tailored for this project, adds metallic warmth. An L-shaped design is complemented by an island mimicking a standalone table, reducing the usual kitchen ambiance. Over the island, floating oak shelves are bolstered by clever ceiling integrations from a thorough renovation.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Research Objectives: Explore Western European influences in Scarsdale's style with Scandinavian elements.
Methodology: Comprehensive study using interviews, site visits, and material investigations.
Data Tools: Homeowner interviews, visual mood boards, space tools for kitchen design, and trending design element studies.
Participants: Homeowners detailing personal tastes.
Results: Highlighted design elements include oversized art, neutral contrasts, tactile countertops, and a modern, open ambiance.
Insights: Contemporary designs can coexist with traditional styles. This fusion challenges Scarsdale's design norms.
Impact: The result sets a Scarsdale design standard, showing the merger of cultural, modern, and artistic elements.
CHALLENGE:
The challenge: merging Western European style, Scarsdale's tradition, and Scandinavian modernity. Scarsdale typically leans towards a distinct style, setting a balance between innovation and tradition. The goal was a design meeting homeowners' eclectic preferences without deviating from community norms.
Externally, sourcing genuine materials was tricky. Local rules affected structural choices. Production constraints arose with custom features, like the unique countertop. Amid fast-changing trends, maintaining a timeless design was vital. Addressing these required thorough research, planning, and homeowner collaboration.
