As an avid cook, baker, and host, the homeowner’s primary concerns were open sightlines, freedom of movement, integrated appliances, and functionality of horizontal space. The carefully placed island, peninsula, and windows maximize natural light and roomy walkways. Tray ceilings, a suspended hood, and an open stairwell ensure cavernous cabinets and negative design space. Flush-mount, stainless steel appliances, dynamic granite countertops, and gray subway backsplash give a unified aesthetic with classic and contemporary elements. Multiple workstations and plentiful storage bring the homeowner’s dream to life.
