2019 BlueStar Kitchen Design Contest
The 2019 Showcase revisits the historic “Le Petit Trianon” Mansion located near the landmark Presidio. The home’s massive and richly appointed kitchen space was inspired by the French country manor of Marie-Antoinette. The kitchen design concept is a collaboration between Interior Designer Jamie Belew and Architect David Armour who adapted the home’s original service kitchen to create a contemporary Catering Kitchen and Service Lounge. Longtime principals of their respective interior design and architecture firms, they came together over their mutual admiration for this archetype of classical Beaux-Arts design and shared vision for retaining its traditional structure while updating its flow, functions and finishes to meet the needs of contemporary entertaining.
