This bright, family-friendly kitchen in Coquitlam features warm wood-tone and white cabinetry, engineered quartz countertops, and a spacious central island with woven barstools. Framed by sleek modern pendant lighting, stainless steel appliances, and large-format porcelain tile flooring, the open-concept layout blends balanced energy flow with a warm, welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining.

A perfect balance between a couple. One who wanted transitional and the other traditional. Coffered ceiling with details on all trim and moldings are found in this kitchen. We placed a double ogee marble top with lots of movement on the island that balances the dark stained custom cabinetry. This also keeps this as the focal point. The perimeter is a brushed absolute black granite that enhances the white cabinetry found below. Gothic lattice is found on the upper glass cabinets to add elegance to the space.

The secrets to family-friendly kitchens that bring everyone together: lots of room for mingling, an ample kitchen island—with a few comfortable stools—for chatting with the cook, and plenty of extra seating for when the meal is ready, such as a cozy banquette.

Complete gut of kitchen from painted white to hard Maple. The pantry cabinet was original a closet and not very user friendly. The soffits were removed giving the kitchen a much larger and open concept.

Atherton has many large substantial homes - our clients purchased an existing home on a one acre flag-shaped lot and asked us to design a new dream home for them. The result is a new 7,000 square foot four-building complex consisting of the main house, six-car garage with two car lifts, pool house with a full one bedroom residence inside, and a separate home office /work out gym studio building. A fifty-foot swimming pool was also created with fully landscaped yards. Given the rectangular shape of the lot, it was decided to angle the house to incoming visitors slightly so as to more dramatically present itself. The house became a classic u-shaped home but Feng Shui design principals were employed directing the placement of the pool house to better contain the energy flow on the site. The main house entry door is then aligned with a special Japanese red maple at the end of a long visual axis at the rear of the site. These angles and alignments set up everything else about the house design and layout, and views from various rooms allow you to see into virtually every space tracking movements of others in the home. The residence is simply divided into two wings of public use, kitchen and family room, and the other wing of bedrooms, connected by the living and dining great room. Function drove the exterior form of windows and solid walls with a line of clerestory windows which bring light into the middle of the large home. Extensive sun shadow studies with 3D tree modeling led to the unorthodox placement of the pool to the north of the home, but tree shadow tracking showed this to be the sunniest area during the entire year. Sustainable measures included a full 7.1kW solar photovoltaic array technically making the house off the grid, and arranged so that no panels are visible from the property. A large 16,000 gallon rainwater catchment system consisting of tanks buried below grade was installed. The home is California GreenPoint rated and also features sealed roof soffits and a sealed crawlspace without the usual venting. A whole house computer automation system with server room was installed as well. Heating and cooling utilize hot water radiant heated concrete and wood floors supplemented by heat pump generated heating and cooling. A compound of buildings created to form balanced relationships between each other, this home is about circulation, light and a balance of form and function. Photo by Philip Liang Photography.
