Winchester European

Imported European

A portrait of the project

Winchester European sits in Winchester, MA — a imported european kitchen built around the architecture, the light, and the way this family actually lives. A young family wanted a fully imported European kitchen with the rigor of a Milanese apartment, but built into a 1920s suburban Winchester home.

The challenge

A young family wanted a fully imported European kitchen with the rigor of a Milanese apartment, but built into a 1920s suburban Winchester home.

The solution

We coordinated a full Boffi system shipped from Italy with bespoke American millwork around it — a hybrid plan that respects both languages.

Architect's approach

How we designed it.

We acted as the client's architectural representative to the European factory — translating the home's structural conditions into millimetric drawings, coordinating freight and field measurement, and supervising installation against tolerances tighter than American framing typically allows. The factory builds the kitchen; we build the conditions for it to land perfectly.

About the style

Imported Kitchens.

Imported European systems — bulthaup, Poliform, Boffi, SieMatic — are engineered the way furniture used to be: tolerances measured in tenths of a millimeter, hardware that closes the same way in year one and year twenty. Owning one is closer to commissioning a piece than buying a kitchen.
