The New York-based studio introduces its established approach to independent kitchen system design leadership for complex residential renovations and custom homes.

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 10, 2026 / Atelier bauherr, a kitchen system design studio founded by Sabrina Antony, has launched its new website presenting the studio's established approach to kitchen system planning and coordination for high-end residential renovations and custom homes. Based in New York, the studio focuses on structured early kitchen system definition, cross-disciplinary coordination, and construction-phase continuity to ensure that kitchen design intent is carried through from the first design draft to final project completion.

The website provides an overview of the studio's approach, professional background, and residential kitchen projects across New York and the surrounding region.

Residential kitchen planning and renovations are among the most complex projects homeowners undertake. Each project must balance the building's physical constraints, the client's functional and aesthetic vision, and the project's budget. These forces converge most intensely in the kitchen, the most infrastructure-dense room in the home, where no decision can be made in isolation.

This complexity extends beyond technical systems. Kitchens also sit at the intersection of the many disciplines involved in a residential renovation.

Within complex projects, responsibilities are distributed across multiple fields. Architects define the architectural framework, interior designers shape spatial expression and material language, and general contractors oversee construction execution and sequencing. The kitchen intersects all of them.

At the same time, individual trades and suppliers operate within their respective technical scopes. Without a coordinating system perspective overseeing how these elements interact, decisions between design intent, technical feasibility, and budget often occur too late in the process, leading to costly construction adjustments and overruns.

Atelier bauherr approaches kitchen planning as a coordinated kitchen system that goes beyond initial layout design and isolated product selections. The studio provides independent kitchen system design leadership for complex residential projects from first draft to completion.

"A kitchen is one of the most complex infrastructures in the home. Every decision has consequences and affects aesthetics, technical systems, investment, and timeline. Our role is to coordinate those relationships early," says Sabrina Antony, Founder of Atelier bauherr.

This continuity allows complex kitchens to move from concept to construction with greater predictability while preserving the design intent established during early planning. The approach is structured around three operational principles.

Early kitchen system planning defines the technical and spatial framework before procurement or construction begins. Cross-disciplinary coordination aligns the work of architects, interior designers, contractors, and specialized vendors around a unified system plan. Construction-phase continuity ensures that the framework defined during early planning is carried through as the project moves into construction.

Before founding Atelier bauherr, Sabrina spent more than two decades working in international kitchen design, including serving as a lead kitchen designer for bulthaup in New York City. Her experience also includes collaboration with global kitchen systems such as Eggersmann, Almilmo, Alno, and Snaidero.

The studio operates primarily within New York City, the Hamptons, Hudson Valley, and the greater Tri-State region. While operating as an independent consultancy, Atelier bauherr also serves as the exclusive full-service design partner for its affiliate digital platform, Kitchen Design NYC. Beyond this partnership, Atelier bauherr continues to accept independent commissions from architects and homeowners throughout the region.
