Philadelphia Designer Chris Greenawalt
says his clients wanted “a space that they
could grow into; something modern, but
that wasn’t too cold.” Greenawalt created
a unified, functional space with a Bosch
800 Series kitchen as its centerpiece.
Relocating the kitchen along an exposed
brick wall, the entire space was gutted,
allowing light to flood the entire length
of the house. Clean, modern lines were
extended using stark white cabinets and
streamlined Bosch appliances, including
a recessed 30" induction cooktop. Says
the homeowners, “One of the biggest
decisions we made was to go with the
induction cooktop. It cooks evenly, you
can pinpoint the temperature, even boil
water in under 60 seconds. Plus it’s easy
to clean.”
Greenawalt notes that Bosch “hit all of
the marks while remaining at a mid-tier
price point.” Having worked for a modern
housing developer early in his career,
Greenawalt added, “We chose Bosch
appliances because buyers trusted its
reputation, the look aligned with our
aesthetic, and we knew we wouldn’t get
calls about broken appliances. Today,
I’m working directly with clients and still
recommend Bosch.”
