The Dramatic, yet
functional design of this kitchen captures an abundance of clean,
angular lines and rich, natural materials that harmonize into a cozy
atmosphere with incredible views.
The room boasts a
neutral palette with deep brown, stained alder cabinets around the
perimeter and into the pantry. A slightly rubbed, painted island
features raised legs and 3" thick stone counter. The horizontally placed
white bronze hardware accentuates the warm tones of the space.
The 26 six foot
high cathedral ceiling with its varying beam heights and structurally
necessary elements provided a challenge when designing the space. The
decision to extend the cabinetry upward and terminate it under the beams
created a sense of continuity with existing architectural elements. The
upper glass cabinet doors lighten the visual weight and allow for
additional texture.
Irregularly
stacked stone niches were created to conceal structural posts which
provide a natural backdrop between adjacent rooms and allowed two
additional work stations. One station being a wet bar area with under
counter appliances and the other entire wall dedicated to the commercial
style range and custom copper hood. The PRO 48 was the owner's only
"must have" request and it is undoubtedly the most celebrated element in
the kitchen.
