category, utilizing a Sub-Zero appliance in the kitchen, and in the
Sub-Zero/Wolf category, utilizing both Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances in the

Since its inception in 1993, the Sub-Zero/Wolf kitchen design contest has
become the coveted win in the professional home design category. Nearly 900
entries were received from professional kitchen designers and were carefully
reviewed by a panel of independent judges in the industry. Entries were judged
on good use of space, innovative and brilliant kitchen design and on their use
of a Sub-Zero or Wolf appliance in a well-designed and beautiful home. This
year's judges included Fu-Tung Cheng, Cheng Design, Berkeley, Calif.; Mick De
Giulio, de Giulio kitchen design, inc., Chicago, Ill.; Jeff De Mure, AIA,
architect with Bloodgood Sharp Buster Architects And Planners, El Dorado Hills,
Calif.; Jamie Drake, ASID, Drake Design Associates, New York, N.Y.; B. Leslie
Hart, senior account director for Meredith Corporation and a National Kitchen
and Bath Association Hall of Fame member, New York, N.Y.; Tom Kelly, NorthShore
Kitchens Plus, Inc., Marblehead, Mass.; and Joan Kohn, producer and host for
HGTV, Chicago, Ill.
"We are thrilled to recognize innovation and craftsmanship in kitchen
design," said Jim Bakke, president and chief executive officer for Sub-Zero and
Wolf. "This is our way of saying thank you to industry professionals for making
Sub-Zero and Wolf the best appliances of choice by the professional design
community."
The Sub-Zero/Wolf kitchen design contest is held every two years and
recognizes kitchen designers, architects, interior designers and builders for
advancing outstanding kitchen design. To honor the participants, Sub-Zero hosted
