Daring Debuts

New area showrooms cater to design buffs with luxury kitchen inspo, stunning surfaces and more

CASA DI LUSSO BY STEINER-HOUCK
Founded last July by design firm Steiner-Houck & Associates, this Annapolis atelier specializes in Italian kitchens, bars, dressing rooms and luxury furnishings. The 3,000-square-foot space showcases vignettes the owners have dreamed up, including this moody kitchen appointed with cabinets in dark, flamed-oak and bronze, high-gloss lacquered wood. A Silestone island countertop and a Monogram pizza oven complete the picture. 1750 Forest Drive, Suite 200, Annapolis; steinerhouck.com

GRAMOPHONE DESIGN BUILD
After transitioning from a kitchen-and-bath studio to a full-service, design-build firm, Gramophone unveiled its reimagined Hunt Valley, Maryland, showroom in September. The 4,200-square-foot space inspires homeowners with fully built kitchens, baths and custom living spaces. A selection center offers myriad samples and finishes to outfit any project—including the Calacatta Topaz slab and mosaic tile that grace the shower wall and floor of this sophisticated bath. 10534 York Road, Suite 200, Hunt Valley, Maryland; gramophonedesignbuild.com

TILEBAR
TileBar opened a Logan Circle location in October after Gensler gave the space—once home to Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams—a dramatic makeover. The airy, 8,000-square-foot emporium showcases natural materials from TileBar’s expansive collection of tile and stone, from Italian marble to terracotta, terrazzo and classic porcelain surfaces. Curated applications spark ideas while interactive displays and extensive libraries invite shoppers to touch and feel products, helping narrow down the endless options. 1526 14th Street, NW; tilebar.com
