Seen & Inspired: Clarke Designer Appreciation Night

On Thursday, March 27th Clarke Appliance hosted the 2014 Designer Appreciation Night at their showroom in Milford, MA.

The 60’s theme party honored the winners of this year’s Clarke Kitchen Design Contest and the Clarke Designer Rewards Program. The contest requires professionals to include at least one full-size Sub Zero built-in or integrated refrigeration unit and at least one Wolf cooking appliance as primary food preparation equipment in a kitchen project. The event announced the six stunning projects that won. The contest received 88 entries, taking design in New England to a whole new level with more entries than ever before! 

First Place Contemporary Win: Adolfo Perez Architect of Newton, MA.
