The contest is also our way of recognizing the important role the design community plays in making Sub-Zero and Wolf a household name when it involves beautiful kitchen design.” Sub-Zero and Wolf enlisted the following professionals to select regional winners based on superior use of space, beautiful kitchen design, and integration of products: Jamie Drake of Drake Design Associates, New York, NY; Jeffrey DeMure, AIA, of Jeffrey DeMure + Associates, El Dorado Hills, CA; Cheryl Hamilton-Gray, CKD, of Hamilton-Gray Design, Carlsbad, CA; Matthew Quinn of Design Galleria Ltd., Atlanta, GA; Barbara Houston of Houston + Associates, Vancouver, BC, Canada; Dalia Tamari of Dalia Kitchen Design, Boston, MA; and Doug Durbin of nuHaus, Highland Park, IL.
