Steering House Design and Development

Based in Brooklyn, Steering House Design and Development shapes residential kitchens and dining spaces through a calm balance of softened stone profiles, serial lighting arrangements, and structural elements that capture grazing daylight. It provides a specific reference when detailing stone island edges, specifying precise fixture alignments, or inserting modern dining and cooking interventions into historic masonry structures.

Interior kitchen island with leather and steel bar stools and light wood cabinetry by Steering House Design and Development.

An exceptionally crafted condominium rising above historic Dumbo

An interior precedent for linear kitchen layouts featuring warm wood cabinetry, minimalist bar seating, and strong direct daylighting.

What we like about this project
The rounded corner profile of the heavy stone-topped kitchen island softens the linear geometry.
