2026 Kitchen Design (Contemporary) Winner: State Street Condo

This contemporary kitchen transforms an open-plan condo into a visually striking and highly functional living space. Architectural elements define the design, beginning with a curved plaster soffit and precise shadow gaps that add sculptural interest. Custom cabinetry in book-matched chestnut burl frames the cooking area, while a Venetian plaster hood serves as a central focal point. The backlit stone island introduces a dramatic element, shifting in character from day to night and anchoring the room. Additional features, including hand-blown lighting and a contrasting butler’s pantry with integrated storage solutions, enhance both aesthetics and usability. Radiant floor heating and carefully selected wood flooring add comfort and continuity.

Every detail is considered, resulting in a kitchen that balances artistry with everyday function, elevating the experience of an open-concept home.

What the judges said: Rich and beautiful materials are brought together into an artful, functional and cohesive whole.
