The homeowner wanted a classically designed space that is highly functional. This multi-disciplined take on this process yielded an iconic and very distinctive details textures. We approached this kitchen with the goal of using stock cabinets but enhancing it with high-end options, stainless steel appliances, white stone and tile, and dark reclaimed wood for the stove hood and shelves.
