Capitol Design

Capitol Design has recently been retained to design several living spaces of an 8000 sq. ft. private residence in Cimarron Hills, a new development in Georgetown, Texas. This initial rendering of the kitchen features a two island plan with a barrel ceiling overhead.

Do you have trouble visualizing an idea, a room? How about color? Do you feel confident that you can mix colors and textures in a room? You’re not alone, most people find it difficult to picture in their mind’s eye, what their project will look like. Floorplans, elevations and perspectives give you a technical understanding of the room, but what will it really look like?

Now, with modern technology, wicked fast computers and eyepopping, photo realistic software, you can actually see what your new room will look like! Your tile, floor, cabinet and countertop choices can be scanned and inserted into a virtual rendering of your design project. Even your child’s artwork can be scanned and displayed on your refrigerator!

You’re able to see what the kitchen looks like with tile or hardwood. Do the furniture and drapes go together in the living room? What does the bathroom look like with a pedestal sink instead of a cabinet. You can feel confident about the materials you have chosen because now you can see them in the room!

We would love to show you the potential of your space with a virtual photo. We are based in Austin, TX but we can travel to your project and have custom cabinetry and other products drop-shipped to your jobsite anywhere in the world. Please contact us and we can discuss what works best for your project.

This newly remodeled kitchen is being enjoyed by a delightful family in West Rim Estates, a beautiful neighborhood along Westlake Drive in Austin. Initially, the homeowner was thinking of just a “facelift” by refacing the existing cabinetry and changing the countertops. However, after an initial consultation and discussing the family’s needs, they decided to entirely replace the cabinetry and change the layout to better suit their busy lifestyle.

The custom wall and base cabinets are frameless, painted white, with a recessed panel door. Built slightly deeper than standard, at 14″ deep, the wall cabinets allow for greater flexibility and larger plates to be stored.

The large, two-level island is constructed of walnut with an inset, recessed panel door to match an existing table and mantle in the adjoining room. The deep walnut finish is a perfect contrast to the bright white cabinets. The island has two Thermador dishwashers for quick clean up after entertaining. The raised counter allows comfortable seating for three.

Undercounter LED lighting and concealed outlets keep the glass tile backsplash uncluttered, and LED lighting in the upper cabinets makes an artsy space for display.

The Ivory Wave quartz countertop from Hanstone works harmoniously with both the white and walnut cabinets, and the bright metallic fleck in the stone is enhanced by the stainless steel Thermador appliances which include a 48″ built-in refrigerator, a steam oven, a convection oven, a 36″ gas range top and a drawer microwave. The stainless steel chimney hood not only adds pizzazz but removes heat and cooking odors to the outside, as well.
