In the prestigious community of Granite Bay, CA, a luxury estate kitchen underwent a breathtaking transformation, redefining elegance, function, and open-concept living. Completed in June, this high-end kitchen remodel—conceived and executed by America’s Dream HomeWorks—showcases the perfect blend of custom design, structural engineering, and fine craftsmanship.
Every successful project begins with a strong vision, and this one was no exception. All conceptual design, including photorealistic 3D renderings, was crafted by designer David C., giving the homeowners a vivid preview of their future space. With seamless coordination from project manager Vlad G. and scheduling oversight by the ADH production team, the entire process moved forward with precision and transparency.
The scope called for a complete reconfiguration of the kitchen layout, and that meant starting from the ground up—literally. The existing kitchen and first-floor flooring were fully demolished to make way for a bold new design built for comfort, entertaining, and daily luxury. What once felt segmented and traditional is now fully open and contemporary, built to enhance the estate’s natural flow and maximize every square foot.
A key element of this transformation was the removal of a load-bearing wall to open up the space. A new structural beam was installed, allowing for a seamless open-concept floorplan. This architectural shift dramatically improved flow between kitchen, dining, and living areas, reinforcing the modern yet inviting tone of the new design.
The electrical system received a full upgrade, including new dedicated lines, recessed can lighting, under-cabinet lighting, and elegant cabinet-top lighting—creating a layered, flexible illumination system. Appliances such as the cooking range, hood vent, and refrigerators were repositioned for optimal efficiency and balance within the new footprint.
One of the most impactful aspects of the remodel was how lighting was layered to serve multiple functions. Accent lighting above cabinets provides soft ambient glow, while under-cabinet fixtures offer clarity for meal prep. Each element was selected not only for function but to help define space and create atmosphere—day or night.
In addition to lighting, attention was paid to sound insulation and material acoustics. With such an open layout, soft-close cabinetry, solid wood components, and textured finishes help absorb sound, keeping the environment serene even during busy gatherings or weekday routines. These subtle upgrades significantly contribute to everyday comfort and quiet luxury.
At the heart of the remodel is a breathtaking combination of DreamLine Custom Cabinetry, integrating two finishes: Swiss Coffee and Vintage Alder, both executed in classic Shaker style. These premium cabinets were designed with functionality in mind, incorporating features like a double trash can pullout, lazy Susan, spice rack, and extra-tall storage for maximum utility.
To ensure practicality met elegance, every cabinet was carefully configured based on homeowner feedback. Storage space was expanded without cluttering the room, and specialty pullouts make everyday cooking streamlined and organized. Each drawer and door is soft-close, reinforcing the quiet luxury the design is built upon.
Countertops were carefully selected to provide both contrast and cohesion: the island features Bedrosians Azzura Bay Quartzite, known for its dramatic veining and natural elegance, while the surrounding perimeter features Absolute Black granite. Both surfaces were fabricated with a 2cm mitered edge and precisely rendered with ADH’s 3D layout system prior to production.
To complete the high-end look, a custom tile backsplash and hand-crafted stone hood were installed, offering striking visual anchors in the kitchen while blending harmoniously with the cabinetry and counters. These artisanal elements reflect the project’s commitment to fine detailing and timeless design.
Open shelving made from matching wood was incorporated to display cherished dishes and personal items, adding warmth and a sense of authenticity. This touch of personalization makes the kitchen feel less like a showroom and more like a refined extension of the family’s lifestyle.
To tie the entire downstairs together, RIVA Engineered Hardwood from the Tierra series in the Cielo color was installed throughout the first floor. Its tone and texture ground the space with natural beauty and quiet sophistication. This choice not only visually expands the interior but adds warmth underfoot that balances the stone and cabinetry.
New baseboards and a fresh coat of paint in the kitchen area completed the picture, highlighting every architectural and design feature. Color choices were selected to complement the cabinetry finishes and create continuity from wall to floor to ceiling.
High-performance finishes and eco-conscious materials were also prioritized. Low-VOC paints, sustainable hardwoods, and energy-efficient lighting all reflect the homeowners’ and ADH’s shared commitment to responsible, enduring design. This remodel doesn’t just look beautiful—it performs with intention.
High-end Thermador appliances were integrated seamlessly into the new layout, blending innovation with timeless style. A custom tile backsplash paired with a hand-crafted stone hood piece draws the eye and anchors the cooktop area, giving the space both character and craftsmanship. From built-in ovens to discreet panel-ready refrigeration, every appliance was chosen to elevate both performance and visual appeal.
This remodel also prioritized convenience and lifestyle. With ample prep zones, enhanced lighting control, and durable finishes, the kitchen not only looks stunning—it works effortlessly for everyday use, special occasions, and everything in between. The open concept enhances hosting opportunities, allowing homeowners to engage with guests while cooking or pouring drinks from the expansive island.
Further additions such as charging drawers, USB-integrated outlets, and hidden storage nooks were seamlessly integrated to improve daily functionality. These modern conveniences ensure that even the most high-tech kitchen tools and devices are supported in style.
From structural engineering to aesthetic refinement, every aspect of this Granite Bay kitchen remodel reflects thoughtful planning, material excellence, and dedicated collaboration. The result is not just a kitchen—it’s the heart of the home, redefined for today’s luxury lifestyle. Built to inspire and designed to last, this estate kitchen is a bold example of what is possible when craftsmanship meets vision.
