Contemporary kitchen in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Genesis Interiors recently built and installed the new kitchen in a luxury residence on Mola Street on the Fort Lauderdale, Florida, riverfront. Part of a larger renovation of this striking contemporary house, the kitchen project was “right up our alley” thanks to the expertise of our Italian and American Genesis craftsmen, and the fact that our U.S. manufacturing facility is just a few miles away. 

The design goal for the upscale kitchen, which measures more than 500 square feet, was to maintain sleek, clean lines and showcase the beautiful views of the river outside. The kitchen features a large island, abundant counter space, a wall fitted for ovens, built-in and paneled refrigerator columns, multiple storage drawers and cabinets, and a hidden pantry. Aran N. Swart, principal designer of Roost Creative, supervised the design and coordinated the project. 

 Genesis artisans hand-crafted the cabinetry at our facility and pre-assembled it there in order to ensure a perfect fit. Seven workers were involved in the project, including two carpenters, four installers, two painters, and the operator of our five-point CNC machine. They also used a sanding machine, edge banding machine, and table saws –all high-end equipment manufactured by the Italian brand Biesse. Then we disassembled the cabinetry, trucked it to the Mola house and installed the kitchen, while working around the general contractor’s schedule and respecting the owner’s privacy. 

The contrast between the white lacquered and dark gray components give the kitchen an elegant contemporary ambiance. A unique design element is the lack of exterior drawer handware, which enhances the sleek lines of the finished cabinetry. 

“As far as the woodwork is concerned, I played a part in the design and look of the finger-pull handles as well as layout and where they were to be placed. I worked closely with the homeowner on this and then worked with [Genesis Interiors] to ensure that the actual cabinets themselves were laid out to owner’s liking,” said Aran Swart. “I was involved in helping them choose the finishes of cabinets as well as [their] interiors. Due to the complexity of the appliances, we had to really be involved in how the cabinets worked with them as well as placement.” 

Luxury Linens Meet Luxury Furniture

One of our current projects include a revolutionary idea in bedding and bedroom furnishings-- head and footboards that can be changed upon whim to mix and match with your current bed linens of choice.

We solved a linen and furniture designer's challenge of finding the right upholstered bedroom furniture to match perfectly the designer's bed linens.  

With Genesis Interior's Fitlock System (described in an earlier post), the designer has chosen to create a checkerboard pattern of fabric panels for the head and footboards of the bed to be removed, replaced, rearranged, etc.  The cleaning of furniture with upholstered panels is now effortless with the ability to remove and replace one, two, or all of the panels.

The designer couldn't have been any happier when he was introduced to our Fitlock System and our workshop's flexibility of creating exactly what is needed--a upholstered bed that can have its look changed on impulse.

We will keep you updated on the progress of these beds.  Stay tuned!

Your Designs / Our Furniture Atelier

Walking you through from your design to the finished pieces.

Hand sketches or AutoCAD drawings...

Even from your hand sketches, Genesis Interiors is able to realize your ideas from small-scale accent furniture pieces to full-scale interiors.

With our first meeting with you, we will go through all specifications including materials and finishes desired, scheduling, and budgets.  Bring with you your design files--be it hand sketches to detailed AutoCAD files.  

From your sketches and AutoCAD files, we will develop our required shop drawings.  In addition, we may produce for you, if requested, 3D renderings, photo realistic renderings, and design boards with actual wood samples with finishes and fabric/stone/metal samples.  (Note: We have exceptional suppliers of fabrics/upholstery and metal and stone fabricators.  We are able to arrange for you the sourcing and integration of each element into the finished projects.)

Design Board

Once you have approved the project, the shop drawings go to our factory and production commences.  We will update you on the progress of your custom furniture and millwork during the production phase.

If you have ordered custom millwork, we suggest for the installation to be completed and/or supervised by our highly experienced craftsmen.
