Kitchen Overhaul Benefits from
One-Stop-Shop Integrator
CE PRO HAS BEEN TOUTING for some time now the
potential integrators working in a home's kitchen and
primary bathroom, traditionally the most popular and
profitable spaces for owners to renovate. Indeed, the clients
in this case had plans to completely transform their kitchen
through a remodel, one that Gramophone played a major
part in and shared with us for this year's awards.
The original kitchen was small, dated, and poorly lit with
all the original appliances, according to Gramophone's Leticia
Blundi, eCommerce marketing manager, in their entry.
" We removed a partition wall and relocated a garage door,
which were the key components to creating a much larger
space with a grand cooking appliance wall, large island, and
lighting control that gives our client various layers of light to
create different cooking/socializing scenes, " she explains.
Cabinet selection, countertop, flooring, and layout were
created by Gramophone's design team; lighting design by its
lighting designers; and construction and installation by the
dealer's build team.
The complete overhaul featured an open concept, but
with limited wall space. Expansion of cabinetry left nowhere
for unsightly banks of switches.
So, Gramophone enlisted a Lutron RadioRA 2 lighting system,
enabling the integrator to add keypads, remotely locate
the switching, and eliminate wall clutter.
An existing brick fireplace wall, a structural element
placed directly across from the island, presented challenges
and opportunities for Gramophone. The team turned lemons

into lemonade for that kitchen amenity, however.
" Our design team viewed it as the perfect place for accent
and art. [The homeowner] saw it as the perfect place for TV
viewing while he prepared meals, " Blundi remarks. " A 32-inch
Samsung Frame TV offered us solutions to both. "
The addition of a Sonos amplifier and Totem Acoustic
in-ceiling speakers, nestled in Dynamat Dynaboxes, brought
the last bit of ambiance into the space. To make everything
work seamlessly and reliably, Gramophone installed a Luxul
XGS network switch.
During the project, the owner purchased a new electric
vehicle. Because Gramophone is licensed for high-voltage
electrical, its team was able to add a level 2 EV charger.
" A game changer for the [homeowners], " Blundi says, " and
another example of the advantages of being able to offer design,
construction, wiring, and integration under one roof. "
