Special attention was paid to lighting effects in the Kitchen and throughout the condo. One of the greatest challenges of the Kitchen was illuminating it without penetrating the existing wood ceiling. A rectangular LED fixture frames the island from above and provides the main source of light, with both indirect ambient up lighting, and overall down lighting for cooking. Lighting underneath the upper cabinets and island counter emphasize the strong horizontal lines and illuminates the stools below. Within the Kitchen layout, the sink and gas range are on center with tall cabinets providing visual balance on either side. The one on the right opens to reveal a beverage center. On the left, the tall appliances are paneled. The elements of white oak, white and black are balanced throughout the space.
