Luxe Lewis Wharf

We were so excited to take a job up at Lewis Wharf in the North End of Boston. What an amazing location! We worked with our client a few years back on their kitchen remodel in Cohasset, so we were very familiar with their style and wants/needs. Because this remodel was in the city, our client decided to stray from the norm and add a little urban twist to this space.  We are so pleased with the way everything turned out and our client is as well, which is even more important!

Recent message from our Lewis Wharf client:

"Our kitchen turned out even more amazing than we anticipated!!!  The first thing we do when we enter our apartment is turn on the under cabinet and  glass cabinet lighting in the kitchen . . . and Voila!!!
All of your help in choosing the cabinetry, hardware, appliances, countertops . . . right down to the "Details" . . . was invaluable!!!
The master bath is a dream to use! 

Thank you for all of your advice and guidance!!!"

Tena's Design Objective: To provide my client with a compact yet comfortable space for entertaining. This space needed to reflect my Client’s impeccable taste while at the same time maintaining the original characteristics of this antique building’s Boston roots. This project was so much fun! I am very grateful to have been given this wonderful opportunity.

In this space, we used StarMark Cabinetry, Granite and Marble Countertops, and SubZero and Wolf Appliances.

Over the past nine years we have grown to a team of five and expanded to a bigger showroom. Wonder what will be next??
Sending out a BIG 'Thank You' to all of our clients and colleagues for keeping us going!

Aging in Place

Looking to Age-In-Place?

We can help you! Our designer, Nathan, is now a Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS)!

What is CAPS?

Nathan has earned his designation as a Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist, CAPS by the National Association of Home Builders, NAHB. He completed a three-day training program equipped with technical, customer service and marketing skills required to effectively service the burgeoning market for aging-in-place home modifications.

Demographic trends indicate that homeowners who plan to stay in their homes, as they get older instead of making other housing accommodations are one of the fastest growing segments of the residential design and remodeling market. Many of these households can be expected to call on designers and remodelers to adapt their homes to their changing needs and lifestyles in order to maintain their independence.

What is "Aging-In-Place"?

Aging-in-place means living in one’s home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age, income or ability level. It means the pleasure of remaining in a familiar environment throughout one’s maturing years, and the ability to enjoy the familiar daily rituals and the special events that enrich all our lives. It means the reassurance of being able to call a house a home for a lifetime.

Projects for the aging-in-place design and remodeling segment range from installation of bath and shower grab bars and adjustment of countertop heights to the creation of multi-functional first-floor master suites and the installation of private elevators.

Nathan’s CAPS training involved learning the mechanics and nuances of effective assessments of clients’ needs and integrating myriad considerations into unified, aesthetically pleasing, functional solutions. Contact Nathan about your aging-in-place design in your home: 508.758.6083 or 508.837.3972 and Nathan@kbdetails.com.
