Timeless Design, Premium Craftsmanship: Inside Waterbury House Kitchens

April 1, 2025

Crafted for Real Living

At Waterbury House, the kitchen isn’t treated like a standard apartment convenience—it’s imagined as a lifelong centerpiece. Designed by interior experts, Shea Design, a multidisciplinary design firm unique in their integration of all aspects of design, each kitchen reflects a vision that’s more in line with what one might choose for a dream home, not a temporary rental.

The result is a space that feels warm, intentional, and custom. These are not kitchens that need to be retrofitted with personality. They already have it—in the way the materials are chosen, in how the layout supports real daily rhythms, and in how every finish reflects an enduring sense of style.

Designed for Those Who Expect More

For residents who appreciate thoughtful design, a well-crafted kitchen is more than a place to prepare food—it’s a space where mornings begin, where conversations unfold, and where daily rituals take place. Every kitchen at Waterbury House is created with this in mind, integrating custom layouts, premium materials, and high-performance appliances to create a space that is as functional as it is beautiful.

Sleek, streamlined cabinetry blends seamlessly with each residence’s architecture, offering both visual cohesion and generous storage. Quartz countertops offer an elegant yet durable surface, maintaining a polished feel without compromising practicality. Each kitchen is designed to complement the unique flow of the residence, creating a space that feels organic, not manufactured.

Kitchens Built for Cooking—Not Just Convenience

While many apartment kitchens are built for occasional use, Waterbury House kitchens are designed for everyday cooking, hosting, and connection. Every residence features high end appliances, including Sub-Zero and Wolf, brands known for professional-grade precision, reliability, and performance.

• Sub-Zero refrigerators use advanced preservation technology to maintain peak freshness longer in Penthouse apartments.

• Wolf gas ranges offer chef-worthy control for residents who love to cook, in every apartment.

• All residences include built-in wine refrigerators, making it easy to entertain or simply enjoy a well-paired glass at the end of the day.

These appliances are not just functional—they are a reflection of the commitment to providing residents with quality that enhances both lifestyle and longevity.

Penthouse Kitchens: Spaces Made to Entertain

For those seeking the highest level of design and utility, the penthouse kitchens at Waterbury House go a step further. With expanded floor plans, hand-selected finishes, and additional prep space, these kitchens offer a natural setting for elevated entertaining—or a serene start to the morning with a fresh pour-over and sunlight streaming in.

Everything in the penthouse kitchens is chosen with care, from the textures and tones of the cabinetry to the performance of the appliances. The space is graceful, grounded, and ready for whatever the day brings.

Everyday Living, Beautifully Supported

A well-designed kitchen should do more than meet basic needs—it should support how people live, offering the kind of thoughtful comfort that turns daily routines into meaningful rituals. At Waterbury House, the kitchen reflects that philosophy. It’s not just about beauty or performance—it’s about balance, intentionality, and making the everyday feel extraordinary.

Whether preparing a quiet dinner at home or hosting a vibrant evening with friends, these kitchens feel effortless, elegant, and entirely personal.
