Architecturally organic, this kitchen space utilizes contemporary design, a collection of minimalist materials that are repeated throughout both the home’s interior and exterior, and a custom-designed natural stone fireplace and stainless hood to accomplish a simple yet stunning aesthetic and design excellence. The space was centered around the desire to achieve a sophisticated, high-style kitchen that incorporated a cozy gathering place for family and friends. The open floor plan for this space allows the kitchen island to serve as a functional eating area, while its adjacency to the hearth room and dinette, breathes seamlessly into the living space.
