For the past few months, leading kitchen brand Gaggenau has been on the hunt for the Kitchen of the Year. They’ve searched the country for kitchens that are built to inspire: spaces that embody innovation, quality and outstanding design in much the same way that Gaggenau itself does.

This search has been marked by entries from a field of the industry’s leading architects, designers and kitchen designers. We’re seeing kitchens that are in grand houses and small apartments, where luxury is found in generous proportions and innovative space solutions. Each entry, in its own way, contributes to the ongoing evolution of kitchen design, a step forward in the endless journey toward design perfection.
