These are the most popular kitchen features that you should consider having in your modern kitchen.

Modern Kitchen Features

Kitchens have evolved into so much more than a place to prepare your meals. If you’re starting to remodel your kitchen you’ve probably come to realize that there are so many new features, you can include to keep up with your modern lifestyle. Here are some features you should include in your modern kitchen.

Islands

A kitchen island is so important for our modern kitchens because of how much more preparation space it offers. Additionally, it can double as a seating area and create more storage space.

Modern Kitchen Features

Custom Cabinetry

Kitchen cabinets can transform your space not only the style but the function as well. Custom and Semi-custom cabinets are a great option for getting the style you want and the storage space you need.

Modern Kitchen Features

Kitchen Dining

A popular feature that our client’s request is having an in-kitchen dining area. This is separate from the formal dining area. It creates an informal space in the kitchen for quick meals like breakfast. You can either include island seating or a breakfast nook adjacent to the kitchen.


Built-in Appliances


Having the option to include built-in appliances will create more of a seamless design in your kitchen. In this kitchen we designed for our client we create a built-in custom fridge that fits it in beautifully with their custom cabinets.

Building a luxury custom home in Scottsdale requires more than selecting a beautiful design and securing the right homesite. It requires a thoughtful approach to architecture, construction, interior design, and lifestyle planning from the very beginning. In a market known for its high end communities, elevated design standards, and one of a kind residences, the process behind the home matters just as much as the finished result. For homeowners building in Scottsdale, every decision carries weight. The lot, the views, the architectural style, the level of finish, and the way the home is meant to live all need to work together. This is especially true in prestigious communities like Silverleaf and DC Ranch, where luxury homes are expected to feel highly tailored, cohesive, and timeless.  At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, we believe the best Scottsdale custom homes begin with a more integrated process. Through our close collaboration with Fratantoni Design and Fratantoni Interior Designers, our clients benefit from a more seamless experience from concept to completion.

When most people think about building a luxury custom home, they picture the architectural plans, the groundbreaking, and the finished residence. What often gets overlooked is one of the most important phases of the entire process: preconstruction. Preconstruction is where a luxury custom home begins to take real shape before construction is ever underway. It is the phase where the vision is clarified, important decisions are addressed early, the team aligns, and the project is positioned for a smoother build. In a high end custom home, where the level of detail, personalization, and coordination is much greater, this phase carries even more weight.  At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, we believe a successful build starts long before the first stage of construction. Through our close collaboration with Fratantoni Design and Fratantoni Interior Designers, our clients benefit from a more seamless preconstruction process that brings architecture, interior design, and building insight together from the beginning.

Building a luxury custom home is a deeply personal process, and the experience behind it matters just as much as the finished result. While many homeowners focus on floor plans, materials, and aesthetics, the structure of the team guiding the project can make an enormous difference in how smoothly everything comes together. That is why working with a luxury home builder that also offers in house architecture and full service interior design creates a more seamless experience. Instead of navigating separate firms with separate priorities, homeowners benefit from a more unified process where design, planning, and construction are aligned from the beginning. At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, our clients benefit from the close collaboration between Fratantoni Luxury Estates, Fratantoni Design , and Fratantoni Interior Designers . Because our in house firms work together, we are able to create a more cohesive custom home experience from concept to completion.

When building a custom luxury home, what happens behind the walls is just as important as what you see. MEP systems, which include mechanical, electrical, and plumbing, are essential to how your home performs every day. For luxury homeowners in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and across Arizona and nationwide, understanding these systems is key to achieving a high performance custom residence.  At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, our integrated design build approach ensures that MEP systems are carefully coordinated alongside architecture by Fratantoni Design and interiors by Fratantoni Interior Designers. This level of collaboration allows every element of the home to function seamlessly while supporting the overall design vision.
