The modern kitchen in New York City, designed and supplied by Urban Homes, features sophisticated cabinetry by Aster Cucine and a simple, architectural style.

The rich, dark wood veneer gives the space a warm, deep appearance, and the cabinet units that go all the way to the ceiling provide plenty of storage and create a continuous built-in effect. Since the appliances are built in, the design stays streamlined, making the kitchen well suited to an open-plan home in New York City.

The stainless-steel cooking area is striking and contrasts with the dark wood cabinets. The reflective backsplash and hood contrast with the natural wood veneer, with built-in lighting shining onto the work surface. A sophisticated and timeless material palette is created by combining dark wood, stainless steel, white surfaces, and dark countertops.

The central island also serves for preparation, storage, and seating; the main work surface includes the sink, and an elevated dark countertop separates the working area from the extended seating area. The white island base gives the center of the kitchen a light appearance while balancing the surrounding dark cabinets.

From the perspective of the adjacent living and dining areas, the kitchen has a neat, furniture-like look since the cabinetry, the lighting, the appliances and the island all form a single architectural composition.

The findings show that Italian kitchen design can maximize storage and functionality without sacrificing an open, refined NYC style.
