Introducing Gramophone Design Build

We’ve Changed (In the Best Way)

Introducing: Gramophone Design Build

Formerly Maryland Kitchen Design Center by Gramophone


A new name.
A reimagined showroom.
The same trusted team—with an even bigger vision.


Why the Change?

  1. Because we've grown.
  2. And because saying Maryland Kitchen Design Center by Gramophone every time we answered the phone got to be a bit much.


What started as a kitchen and bath design center has become something much more: a full-service design-build firm with in-house construction, custom cabinetry, licensed electricians, and smart home expertise.


Today, we take on whole-home remodels, additions, basements, bathrooms, lighting design, technology integration, and more. We build stunning spaces—and handle every detail from concept to completion.


We needed a name that reflects the full range of what we do—and the way we do it.


Why Gramophone?

Our new name connects us more deeply with our roots—and our future. As a sister brand to Gramophone, Maryland's premier destination for home technology design and System Integration since 1976, we share the same legacy of craftsmanship, excellence, and experience.


The gramophone, a music playback device invented back in 1887, was a marvel of both design and engineering—beautiful to look at, groundbreaking in its time, and capable of bringing music, stories, and emotion into people’s homes.


That’s the essence of what we aim to create in every project:


  • Crafted environments that move people
  • Homes where beauty and function live in harmony
  • Spaces tailored to how you live, what you love, and who you are


What We Do?

Design and Build, Under One Roof
From first sketch to final install, our in-house team handles every phase of the process.


Renovations, Additions, Kitchens, Baths & More
We transform homes from top to bottom, inside and out.


Smart Home Technology & Lighting
We blend aesthetics and innovation to bring you comfort, control, and beautifully lit spaces.


Electrical Contracting Services
Licensed. Experienced. In-house. No gaps between design and execution.


What This Means for You


If you’ve worked with us before: nothing changes—except the name and an even better showroom experience. You’ll still work with the same team, receive the same level of care, and get the same attention to detail we’ve always delivered.


If you’re new here: welcome. We invite you to explore what sets us apart, meet the people behind the work, and imagine what’s possible in your own home.


Let's Build Something Beautiful Together

We’re excited for this next chapter—and grateful to all of you who’ve helped shape it. Our new name is just the beginning. Come visit the new showroom, meet the team, and see what we’ve been working on.
