A 2-1/2 story rear addition to a richly detailed Craftsman style home contains a new kitchen, familyroom, rear deck and lower level guest suite. The introduction of an open plan and modern material/color palettes reconnects the original formal family spaces with those that cater to more daily routines.

Love the matte counter top, is it durable, where can I find it Live In Los Angel-es, what companies sell? Would you suggest that this material will look attractive as a floating counter top or would that method take away from the impact? Thanks A lot! »

inspiredone Thanks SO Much . How is this different from paper stone or the Richie type products that are matte finish ( sandstone?)

Chr DAUER Architects the counters are indeed richlite "black diamond"

What Houzz contributors are saying:
This matte black kitchen counter is made from a material called Richlite. Richlite is a blend of wood pulp and polymers that's as resilient as it is sustainable.
added by Lisa Frederick to Cabinet Colors for Dark Appliances
I'd never thought of black as a natural fit with dusty green, but the two are perfect partners in this space. Although these appliances have some stainless on them, I think all-dark would work just as well. Black accents (countertops, glass rack, window casing) are key to pulling this off. And I love how the warm wood accents and bright art give the kitchen extra layers of depth.
5. Go for recycled paper counters. Richlite is an ecofriendly material made in part from recycled paper. Available in a wide range of beautiful colors and finishes, this versatile material works well with a range of decorating styles.

Green paint is a typical mountain color. Pipe and wood shelving would be good replacement for half wall separating kitchen from living room. Richlite counter is good possibility. I'd use this around sink and stove, and install wood counter on peninsula.

Richlite sustainable resliant mixture of pulp and polymers. The resin products are fairly soft and would have a tendency to get scratched, and thus cloudy looking, over time. I would love to use it, though, as a backsplash material - perhaps combined with LED strip lights to make it glow.
