EuroTech Cabinetry has earned the Houzz Best of 2026 award, a recognition given to fewer than three percent of home professionals listed on the platform. For a Sarasota cabinet company that has spent 42 years building a reputation on design excellence and client satisfaction, the award is one more data point in a long record of recognized work. But the more interesting story is in the projects behind it. Three of our most recent commissions, a Gulf-front Siesta Key masterpiece, a landmark Longboat Key kitchen, and a bayfront Sarasota Bay residence, represent exactly what luxury cabinets in Sarasota can and should look like when design, material, and execution all come together.
What the Houzz Best of Award Actually Means
The Houzz Best of award is not self-nominated. It is determined by the community: the homeowners, architects, interior designers, and contractors who have worked with a company and taken the time to document the experience through reviews and project photography. Criteria include the quality of portfolio photography, the volume and consistency of five-star client reviews, and the level of professional engagement on the platform throughout the year.
For EuroTech, this recognition adds to a body of awards that now spans 28 design recognitions over 20 years, including seven Sarasota Herald-Tribune Readers’ Choice Awards. These are not vanity metrics. They are the accumulated result of over 90 percent of our work coming from referrals and repeat clients, and 98 percent of projects delivered on time.
Here is a closer look at three of the projects that contributed to the 2026 recognition.
Project One: Siesta Key Masterpiece
This Gulf-front Siesta Key condominium presented the kind of brief that tests every capability a design team has. Three separate spaces, a kitchen, a full wet bar, and a sitting room wall unit, needed to share a design language without feeling repetitive. The contractor was Longboat Key Builders.
The kitchen features flush slab doors and drawers in Benjamin Moore La Paloma Gray and Wrought Iron, grounded by a custom stain on Rift Sawn Walnut. Cabinet interiors and all components are finished in Natural Walnut with Corian dividers. Countertops combine granite and walnut surfaces. The appliance suite is Sub-Zero and Wolf throughout.
The wet bar carries the palette forward with Cinder Metallic and Wrought Iron slab doors, Natural Walnut interiors, a Sub-Zero wine keeper, and a professional ice maker. The sitting room wall unit, finished in Wrought Iron with Natural Walnut interiors, completes the three-space material story with the same level of precision applied throughout.
The result is a residence where every room speaks the same design language without repeating itself. That level of whole-home cohesion is rare, and it is what separates a well-decorated home from a truly designed one.
Project Two: North Longboat Spectacular
Among the most significant kitchen cabinet commissions in EuroTech’s recent portfolio, the North Longboat Spectacular set out to achieve something precise: a kitchen that reads as transitional in warmth and contemporary in execution. The project investment exceeded $200,000, and every dollar is visible in the finished result.
The cabinetry, sourced through Artcraft Kitchens, pairs two door profiles across the space. Recessed panel doors in Canvas Tan satin paint define the perimeter cabinetry. Flush slab doors in Pebblewood stain on Rift White Oak define the island. The combination is intentional: the recessed panel brings transitional warmth, the slab introduces contemporary restraint, and together they define zones without walls.
Countertops throughout are Cambria Windemere, a flowing soft-white engineered quartz with delicate grey veining. Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances are installed flush with the cabinet faces, a level of precision that requires the cabinetry, appliances, and installation to be coordinated as a single system from the beginning of the design process.
This project also includes a master bathroom finished in Artcraft’s Laura door style in Terra Bianca, with floating vanities, Taj Mahal Quartzite countertops, glass tile backsplash, and ambient LED underlighting. It demonstrates what a whole-home design engagement looks like when the same standard is applied to every room.
Project Three: Longboat Key Beauty
This Longboat Key home sits on Sarasota Bay, and the design brief reflected that setting. Working alongside interior designer Kristin Raybon Designs and contractor Anthony Girard Specialties, EuroTech specified a kitchen and wet bar that balances natural wood warmth with the crispness of a white contemporary palette.
The cabinetry is Artcraft Kitchens in a two-tone combination: Pure White paint on the perimeter and Jordanwood stain on Rift White Oak for the island. Countertops are Cristallo granite, a luminous crystal-veined surface that captures natural light and brings an immediate sense of luxury to the workspace. Appliances include Thermador, Wolf, and Fisher-Paykel across the kitchen and bar.
Rift White Oak was specified for its fine, linear grain — a quieter, more refined wood texture that suits the transitional aesthetic without pulling the space toward a rustic or country feel. When executed with this level of precision, the combination of natural wood and clean white cabinetry is one of the most enduringly elegant approaches available in luxury residential design.
What These Projects Have in Common
Each of these projects began the same way: with a free design consultation, precise field measurements, and a collaborative design process driven by what the client actually needed rather than what was easiest to specify. Every project was reviewed by three members of our design team before a single order was placed.
All cabinetry is sourced from North American manufacturers, with 80 to 85 percent made in the United States. Every material decision, from the choice of Rift Sawn Walnut over flat-cut alternatives to the specification of Cambria Windemere over less durable stone options, reflects 42 years of regional expertise and an understanding of what performs in the Florida coastal environment.
