Design That Starts with How You Live
A custom kitchen design process begins not with cabinets or countertops but with conversation — how you cook, how your family gathers, what you find frustrating about your current kitchen, and what you dream it could be. Our in-house design team has developed this process over 46 years of designing kitchens specifically for Westchester homeowners, and the result is kitchens that feel like they were always there.
Step 1 — Discovery Consultation: We visit your home, measure every dimension, and conduct a thorough lifestyle interview. We assess existing conditions (structural, plumbing, electrical), identify constraints, and discuss your design goals, budget, and timeline. Step 2 — Space Planning: We develop one or more floor plan options that optimize your kitchen layout for workflow, storage, and sightlines. At this stage we resolve structural questions (wall removal, island placement, window changes) and present recommendations with rationale. Step 3 — 3D Design Development: Using Cabinet Vision design software, we create photorealistic 3D renderings of your kitchen design in multiple color and material options. You see exactly what your kitchen will look like before a single component is ordered. Step 4 — Material Selection: We guide you through cabinet door style and finish selection at our Chappaqua showroom, countertop slab selection at our stone yard partner, backsplash tile selection, hardware, and appliance specifications. Step 5 — Final Design and Pricing: We deliver a complete design package with dimensioned drawings, material specifications, and a fixed-price project proposal. No surprises.
Westchester County encompasses an unusual range of architectural styles — 1920s Tudor Revivals in Scarsdale, 1790s Colonial farmhouses in Bedford, 1960s contemporaries in New Canaan-adjacent Katonah, and modern condominiums in White Plains. Each architectural context demands a different design vocabulary. Our designers are fluent in all of them: we know when to specify inset cabinetry with beaded face frames (Tudor and Colonial Revival homes), when to use clean-line frameless boxes with flat-front doors (contemporary and mid-century homes), and when to create something that bridges periods. We do not apply a single house style — we respond to the specific architecture of your home.
We use Cabinet Vision, an industry-leading cabinet design and 3D rendering platform, to create accurate photorealistic images of your kitchen design before it is built. This technology allows you to evaluate cabinetry proportions, material pairings, lighting placement, and overall spatial character in detail. We can adjust door style, color, hardware, and countertop material in real time during our design meetings and show you the result immediately. We also use a cloud-based project management system to share drawings, specifications, and project updates with our clients throughout the construction phase, keeping everyone informed without requiring phone calls.
Yes. Our design services — including all consultations, 3D renderings, and material selection guidance — are included in the project price. We do not charge separate design fees for projects that move forward to construction with Three Brothers.
Yes. We work regularly with interior designers and architects who bring us their client's kitchen designs for permit management and construction execution. We require design drawings that meet building department standards and a complete material specification before issuing a construction proposal.
Typically two to three layout options at the floor plan stage, narrowing to one preferred direction with two to three finish/color variations at the 3D rendering stage. We find that more than three options creates decision fatigue — we guide you toward options that are genuinely appropriate for your space and budget.
