SieMatic has partnered with Sereno in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, to create contemporary kitchens in Sereno’s 50 luxury residences. Three distinctive finishes include Graphite, shown here. The kitchens, designed with SieMatic’s precision engineering, integrated storage solutions, and customizable layouts, include islands with slab countertops, and butler’s pantries to provide additonal storage and prep space.

In a Brooklyn brownstone, Molly Portnof of DATE Interiors created this white kitchen that is anything but boring. Handcrafted zellige tiles add texture and shine to the backsplash and in the custom arched alcove behind the range. Open shelving gives the space an airy feel. Unlacquered brass hardware and fixtures, butcher block countertops, and a leathered Danby marble island countertop add patina that will evolve over time. Refrigeration by Bosch.

Designer Jeff Andrews transformed his own kitchen into a glamorous, 1930s-inspired showplace with black limestone floors, gray-brown cabinets, and dramatic black-and-white soapstone for the backsplash and countertops. He added a dose of color in the blue-green tile on the back of the kitchen island, reflecting the pool just outside. Range, steam oven, dishwasher, refrigerator and wine refrigerator by Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove.

In the design of her own kitchen, Clara Jung of Banner Day Interiors was inspired by her daughter’s play kitchen, which featured delightful yellow walls. So that the beautiful, butter-yellow walls would not read too traditional, she added deeply veined marble countertops and backsplash, white walls, a mimimalist range hood, and furniture and flooring in honey to dark finishes. Instead of an island, she opted for a copious farmhouse table with a modern silhouette. Induction range by Fisher & Paykel, wall ovens by Miele, dishwasher by Bosch, and refrigeration by Sub-Zero.
