Designer’s Statement

Bay Head's strict preservation standards and the homeowners' respect for history guided every decision. The result is a kitchen that could have existed in 1895 but incorporates discreetly modern appliances and amenities. Historic preservation done right.

We were terrified of losing our home's character, but Lopez created a kitchen that looks Victorian yet functions for our modern family. The attention to period details is remarkable—guests can't believe it's new.
