CE Pro 2020 Home of the Year: Gold Award Winner!
We are proud to announce that CE Pro awarded our kitchen Home of the Year: Best Kitchen!
This luxurious kitchen began as a routine outdoor security project. During the process, our designers learned that the clients had recently suffered a flood and needed to rebuild their kitchen. The clients also expressed a passion for innovative tech, full automation of the space, and sleek minimalist design - outfitted in style, of course! The Gramophone design team worked closely with the client to create this luxurious European-inspired design with top of the line tech and appliances.
Here are some of our favorite features:
• That striking framed art piece? It's actually a Samsung Framed Art TV, finished off with a custom frame solution, and flush-mounted to the wall!
• The recessed lighting package and shading feature Lutron & Ketra lighting which is color changing and preset to follow the circadian rhythm.
• All lighting and local roller shading is tied together through a new Control 4 Automation and Audio System. Everything is adjustable through the touch of a button.
• The kitchen features multiple sets of ceiling-based thin bezel and architecturally friendly Sonance in-ceiling speakers for music and TV playback.
"While this space is loaded with enjoyable equipment, it is tastefully hidden and the customer just loves spending time in their turn-key space. 100% delivered and installed by Gramophone. Yes, if it's in the picture we designed and installed it, even the appliances"

We’re proud to share that our Owings Mills kitchen renovation has earned top honors for Best Mid-Century Modern Renovation in the Baltimore Magazine Home & Design Awards . The project will be featured in the magazine’s April 2026 issue. What began as a necessary plumbing repair beneath the slab quickly evolved into something much larger—a full reimagining of a 1959 kitchen that the homeowners already loved. Rather than starting over, the vision centered on preserving the spirit of the original space while elevating its performance, materiality, and experience.
We are honored to share that one of our recent projects has been featured on the cover of Kitchen & Bath Design News as part of their April feature, Next-Level Showers . This issue explores how the modern shower has evolved beyond utility into something far more experiential. A place for restoration, efficiency, and daily ritual. We are proud to see our work included in this broader conversation around how thoughtful design can elevate even the most routine moments. Led by designer Stephanie Twarowski, the featured primary bathroom reflects a shift we are seeing across many of our projects. Clients are placing greater emphasis on the shower as the focal point of the space, prioritizing both performance and atmosphere.
