This month’s issue of Architectural Digest features two kitchens I designed with Poggenpohl’s Rosemary Porto. Rosemary is the Showroom Manager and lead designer at Poggenpohl’s Boston showroom. I love working with Rosemary because she is excellent at looking at kitchen spaces and transforming them into functional, beautiful kitchens. She has a great eye for balance, color and uses unusual materials and layouts to achieve award winning kitchens. She herself is an accomplished cook and uses her personal understanding of how a kitchen should function in creating kitchens for others.
Poggenpohl is often my go to for kitchen design because they have cutting edge designs, fantastic finish selections and top quality German engineering. Clean and contemporary – these kitchens can be used in contemporary spaces as well as in more transitional settings. Their quality is unsurpassed and their designs execute beautifully. Poggenpohl’s customer service is superb. They are highly responsive and work hard to exceed expectations.
Here are photos of the two featured kitchens.

An open concept kitchen I designed in collaboration with Poggenpohl Boston and FBN Construction is featured in the January/February issue of Design New England. This issue focuses on “just right” kitchens and baths. The stunning penthouse pied-a-terre on Rowes Wharf has some of the most impressive views found in the city. The team worked hard to showcase the scenic views of both the harbor and the city lights.
I used a combination of soft colors, opague glass and stainless steel to reflect the views and inspire calm. Soft furnishings throughout add comfort to the clean lined space. Rosemary Porto, a senior designer at Poggenpohl Boston, did a fantastic job designing a functional and beautiful kitchen featuring teak cabinets accented with glass and stainless steel. The cabinet placement maximizes storage while allowing the outside view to take center stage.
Like many empty nesters I have worked with, these clients love the contemporary uncluttered spaces that represent a refreshing start to a new phase of life. In fact, they like the condo so much, they spend more time here than their large home in the suburbs.
