Kitchen location: The apartment is situated in the heart of Chelsea, in an 1890s building that boasts double-height ceilings and original cast-iron columns. The 1,800-square-foot loft space features one bedroom and two bathrooms, with the kitchen located left of the entrance, next to a separate dining room.
BEFORE: The dated space “looked smaller than it actually was,” the designer remembers.
The before: “When I first moved in, the kitchen was 1980s awful,” Jose says. “So I did a Home Depot–style renovation myself, to at least make it livable. It probably looked dated the day after I installed it—and, as an avid cook, it was not as functional as I would have liked.”
“I love the extra-thick open shelves Diego designed,” says Jose. “I thought they’d be more decorative, but they’ve turned out to be extremely practical.”

I was influenced a lot by a book I was reading at the time about poetry and the Japanese aesthetic. The more I read, the more I was inspired by the idea of discreet elegance—and that’s what I feel best describes the design of this kitchen. The luxury is there, but it’s not jumping out at you. It’s not hurting the eye.”
Square footage: 145 square feet
Budget: For Jose, an expertly tailored space was more important than adhering to any specific budget. “I felt I’d saved enough living with a generic kitchen for over 10 years,” he says, “so I was okay not scrimping on this one.”
Main ingredients:
Cabinetry: Siena Woodworks. Upper cabinets feature high-gloss lacquer; the lowers are made of cerused oak stained grey with a matte finish. Instead of knobs, Diego opted for hand-carved pulls for a cleaner, less cluttered look.
Wall color: Benjamin Moore Super White
Upper cabinet color: Benjamin Moore Early Frost
Countertop and backsplash: Calacatta lilac marble from New York Stone. “There’s something very ethereal about the very, very subtle purple vein,” the designer says.
Floors: PID Floors
Floating shelves: Siena Woodworks
Appliances: Viking refrigerator, oven, and range; GE microwave; Dornbracht faucet
Artwork: Gold wire hummingbird by Eric Rhein; black and white sketch by Teresa Sánchez; mounted book cover on gold tableau by Caleb Hahne; floral artwork above spice cabinet by Jody Morlock
