Detail of lit kitchen backsplash. LED strip lighting provides a continuous band of light on the countertop and splash, enhancing the mosaic glass inserts. To achieve the installation, a 15-foot full-scale plot was made of the backsplash, showing the exact location of tile and inserts, to help the framers, the electrician, the plumber, and the tile setter achieve the precise look that the homeowners wanted.

This kitchen renovation was part of a larger, extensive interior renovation for an existing penthouse condominium residence, located in Clayton, Missouri. The primary concept for the overall renovation was to bring architectural continuity throughout the entire residence with an edited materials palette that serves as a neutral backdrop for the owners’ extensive art collection. For the kitchen area specifically, dark flooring comprised of large-format Italian porcelain tiles is contrasted with high-gloss white cabinetry at the kitchen’s perimeter and gray-stained reconstituted veneer wrapping the island cabinetry. This neutral palette of white and gray is further enhanced with quartz countertops that include dramatic, gray veining. The custom banquette seating with built-in storage, activates the north wall of the kitchen and serves as an anchor for a new dining table and chairs. A contrasting blue velvet textile softens the built-in banquette, and provides a restrained field of color. The gray wood veneer is echoed at custom wall panels behind the banquette, serving as a textural backdrop for artwork installation. And a light, feathery chandelier hangs above the dining table with intention in mind to not obstruct views of the artwork beyond. ©Alise O'Brien Photography

Because of the open floor plan, we wanted to define the kitchen but make it cohesive with the adjacent family room. We continued the transitional styling and gray and soft white color scheme from room to room, adding some taupe in the family room. The pillars separate the two areas while adding elaborate millwork. The nesting tables can be separated as needed to provide an extra drinks table for guests. Photo by Larry Malvin
