We were inspired to take this disjointed floor plan that had taken "open plan" to a whole new level, and really take stock of what the spaces were used for, and why. What was once an open pass through/dining room became a private office and an interlude with a bar. The den did not lose it's 2 entrances, but those entrances were redefined in order to create a space that was more intimate. We took the grand scale of the great room and made it feel intentionally cozy without closing it off. This was done by creating various zones delineated by strategically placing lighting, furniture, and cabinetry. The grand chandelier made up of dozens of swirled glass balls softens the plane of the cielo quartzite used on the family sized island, while the softer, textured shade gives off a warm glow and calls out the charm of the built-in breakfast nook. The removal of the upper cabinets in favor of a large picture window, splash detail, and statement sconces leaves the cabinetry feeling more like a piece of furniture than a bank of cabinets flanked by pantry and appliance. A soft, coastal inspired palette becomes exciting through the use of a variety of textures found in the leathered stone, handcrafted clay backsplash, swirled glass lighting, and built in seating. The tufted leather booth with the fluted walnut bench brings a modern flair to the table that transitions seamlessly with the more traditional feel of the flush inset cabinetry. By allowing the 48" chef's range to create its own focal point along the back wall, functionality of the kitchen is maximized and allows enough space for multiple cooks, big and small, to work together.

The dark, gloomy primary bath with an exposed toilet and dated glass block shower was transformed into a bold, elegant retreat complete with a large walk in shower clad in an eye catching Afyon Violet marble. The design team was able to incorporate a new private toilet room and delicate soaker tub that sits upon the timeless herringbone marble floors. The classically design walnut cabinetry with red undertones balances out the more brazen, plum hued pattern of the wall tile. The single, solid pewter urban electric wall sconce makes a refined industrial statement while breaking up the large expanse of the mirror.
