Victorian mash-up gets a modern twist.

Heidi Piron Design & Cabinetry was included in the House Beautiful annual Kitchen Issue. Recognized for our savvy storage solutions our drinks drawer was listed amongst the Smart Kitchens product line up.

We’re thrilled to be named one of 30 global finalists in the Sub-Zero & Wolf Kitchen Design Contest, a global competition with more than 1,800 entrants from over 18 countries.

We named the project “A Room with A View” since one of the design goals was to enlarge the window to take advantage of the stunning outside view and bring more natural light into the kitchen of this stately, redbrick Georgian Colonial home.

Kitchen & Bath Design News, the industry’s leading trade magazine for kitchen and bath professionals named Heidi one of its 50 top innovators for 2018.

“KBDN’s 2018 Innovators reflect the ‘best and the brightest’ in the kitchen and bath field,” noted KBDN editor Janice Costa. “They are not only dramatically improving the lives of their clients and peers, but also raising the bar for the industry at large in areas ranging from design, business and education to marketing, mentoring, industry service and more.”

We are excited to announce that Heidi Piron Design & Cabinetry is a 2018 recipient of a design award from Kitchen & Bath Design News, for kitchens in the category of $100,000 - $200,000.

The Modern Farmhouse style was kicked up to a whole new level with this kitchen design. While the home was a new build, the concept presented by the architect, Douglas C. Wright Architects, was a renovated barn. Piron was brought in to design a highly functional kitchen for an avid baker and her husband, who wanted the 223-sq-ft space to be the heart of the home.

To meld the concepts of modern and farmhouse, this award winning design combines rustic finishes with modern metals, such as the plank cabinetry with integrated pulls in polished nickel, and hot rolled steel on the glass cabinetry in the beverage zone. Leathered grey countertops provide a warm contrast against the rustic, Mosaic House tile backsplash.

Listening to a client is critical, which can at times be challenging, but it can reap many rewards. Case in point is the Summit, NJ client who insisted on an all white kitchen, which surprised us at first because she was a design risk-taker. We tried to dissuade the client from creating a white kitchen, since the rest of the house made exuberant use of color and pattern. As it turns out, it was the client’s fearless taste that inspired Heidi to think big and bold with white.

The kitchen also landed Heidi the title of regional winner of the Sub-Zero and Wolf 2013-2014 Kitchen Design Contest. The entry carries the unique distinction of being one of only 53 regional winners, chosen from more than 1,700 entries.
