Drawing on his architectural background, Marvin provides clients with kitchens that have clean lines and the finest cabinetry matched to their particular taste.
Marvin, a graduate of Brookdale Community College in Lincroft where he earned an associate in applied science degree in Architectural Drafting and Design, worked for a Monmouth County architect, Samuel P. Abate, doing residential design for 15 years. While freelancing for the next 10 years he decided to specialize in kitchen design in 1998 and in 2004 founded Architectural Kitchenworks, which is located on Route 35 in Eatontown, by Fort Monmouth. A showroom will be opening at this location in Summer 2008. He currently is offering in-home consultations and site visits.
Marvin works with three cabinet companies. They are:
Deborah James Coastal Kitchens, http://deborahjameskitchens.com, a nationwide company specializing in the manufacture of high-end design center quality kitchen cabinetry of unbeatable quality at unbeatable prices. A high-end manufacturer of estate quality cabinetry the likes of Christopher Peacock, Clive Christian, Siematic, Wm Ohs, Mark Wilkinson, Rutt, etc.
Mouser Custom Cabinetry, http://www.mousercc.com, another American maker, which offers traditional, contemporary, arts and craft, and country styles in a mid-range price bracket and;
Denla, a Canadian manufacturer http://www.denla.com, which offers European style cabinetry of frameless semi-custom design in the lower mid-range bracket.
To get a full understanding of what each client wants in the design of their new or remodeled kitchen, Marvin asks the client to fill out a seven page questionnaire and then sounds them out on it.
He then takes the measurements of the kitchen and all adjacent rooms. From that, he determines the basic floor plan showing any walls that meed to be removed and where any new openings, doors, or windows are required.
"I alter the space to fit the clients wish list", says Marvin.
Marvin then designs the kitchen layout using established industry quidelines for the desired distances in the triangle between the sink, range and refrigerator.
Marvin's strong point is working function into the design for the room. He also is careful to work within the budget set forth by the client.
The basic shapes that kitchens can take, according to marvin, are the galley, L-shaped, and U-shaped he noted.
Marvin does all sizes of kitchens, from small ones that are 10 feet by 10 feet, to a large one that's 20 feet by 20 feet or bigger. he said he can surprise people with what he can fit into a little kitchen. "You can stuff a lot into it", he said. Marvin said granite is no longer is the only material people want for countertops. He said many are going for a mixture of surfaces, such as granite and wood, or concrete, lava, engineered stone and glass. Because kitchens are being designed with different work zones, they can have different material surfaces in each zone., he said.

Kitchens are highly complex rooms that have to function on many levels. Everyone deserves a beautiful kitchen. That means you too!!!
The kitchen is one of the first things people remodel when they are looking to improve their home. New kitchen cabinets are one of the most popular luxury kitchen home improvements.

Granite and marble can help to contribute to the beauty and function of your kitchen. On the other hand, many are going for a mixture of surfaces such as wood, concrete, lava, engineered stone and glass. Because kitchens are being designed with different work zones, they can have different materials for each zone.
Other popular additions include stainless steel appliances, including sub-zero refrigerators, built-in microwave oven and cooktops. Many people doing a luxury kitchen prefer a gas stove. Induction cooking and steam cooking have also become new favorites.

TheArchitectsEDGe.com brings resources and education to the architectural community.
Electronics Design Group (EDG), Inc., located in Piscataway, N.J., functons primarily as a home theater room design and engineering contractor. They specialize in the integration and installation of ultra-high-end home movie theater and home automation system technologies for private, as well as being a provider of complete theater lighting control and automation services for businesses.
For almost 25 years, the company has been developing a solid reputation as a leader in media room design and installation. Now they are taking that expertise in a new direction with TheArchitectsEDGe.com, a Web site, that provides the architectural community with the resources needed to make educated decisions about electronic systems.
Dave Randolph, Managing Director of Consulting for EDG, explained how market changes over the last few years helped develop the unique concept behind the site.
"As the market got more and more competative and the margins dropped, there were lots of customers that were asking for free proposals, he began, "and the industry would provide that, and in the end the client would often times never really make sense of what the product was."
Randolph explaines that a customer would be left with three different companies that would provide three different manufacturers, with three different philosophies. "In the end they'd end up with nothing, gamble and pick just one...a situation that wasn't really good for anybody," he added.
Randolph further explained that the site isn't about presenting a new set of speakers or showing pretty install pictures, "this is a design resource site for designers interested in developing AV systems. You can got to the site for any aspect of that system and our client can look at consulting solutions-example sysytems of different aspects of a project."
Randolph believes that EDG clients will embrace TheArchitectsEDGe and take advantage of all the tools the site has to offer.
