Chris Grima
Calgary West, AB
Chris Grima may be a newer addition to the Superior team, but that's not to say he doesn't come with tonnes of experience. Chris learnt the tricks of the trade from his father, building kitchens and furniture in Malta. He brought his experience and knowledge back to Calgary, and has been designing for 10 years. If he's not on the slopes snowboarding or playing outdoor sports he's probably got his nose buried in Architecture Digest, which influences many of his designs.
Chris uses his European influence to design modern spaces that are contemporary with a touch of traditional elements to make each place feel like home.

Advance your kitchen space
Designer: Chris Grima
Location: Calgary WestHow do I best utilize the storage space in my kitchen?
This can be accomplished by installing taller upper cabinets that extend to the ceiling which would give you increased interior storage space. Replacing your bottom cabinets with drawers will help you keep the space organized and allow you easier access to your kitchenware. Corners have always been a difficult area to access in the past, however we now have several different options like corner drawers and magic corner units to better utilize this space.
