Well-rounded

Professional recommendations bring kitchen designers fresh business and underscore the standard of their workmanship. This complement is even greater when a building professional seeks out the designer for his own kitchen.

This was the case when the owner of a major building company approached DeGabriele Kitchens to design his new kitchen, says director Sam DeGabriele.

"DeGabriele Kitchens is a family owned business, creating classic and contemporary kitchens in a variety of materials and finishes, he says. "For this project, we were asked to create an open-plan workspace that would effectively become the focal point of the home."

A curved breakfast bar stands at the centre of the kitchen, topped with a solid granite benchtop. Drawers and cabinet doors are in framed glass to accentuate a clean-lined feel, and the cabinetry is finished in a gloss polyurethane.

"The high standard of design and finish is in keeping with all our projects," he says. "Our company's meticulous attention to detail has earned DeGabriele Kitchens several kitchen design awards and respect within the building industry."
