This kitchen took a tired, 80’s builder kitchen and revamped it into a personalized gathering space for our wonderful client. The existing space was split up by the dated configuration of eat-in kitchen table area to one side and cramped workspace on the other. It didn’t just under-serve our client’s needs; it flat out discouraged them from using the space. Our client desired an open kitchen with a central gathering space where family and friends could connect. To open things up, we removed the half wall separating the kitchen from the dining room and the wall that blocked sight lines to the family room and created a narrow hallway to the kitchen. The old oak cabinets weren't maximizing storage and were dated and dark. We used Waypoint Living Spaces cabinets in linen white to brighten up the room. On the east wall, we created a hutch-like stack that features an appliance garage that keeps often used countertop appliance on hand but out of sight. The hutch also acts as a transition from the cooking zone to the coffee and wine area. We eliminated the north window that looked onto the entry walkway and activated this wall as storage with refrigerator enclosure and pantry. We opted to leave the east window as-is and incorporated it into the new kitchen layout by creating a window well for growing plants and herbs. The countertops are Pental Quartz in Carrara. The sleek cabinet hardware is from our friends at Amerock in a gorgeous satin champagne bronze. One of the most striking features in the space is the pattern encaustic tile from Tile Shop. The pop of blue in the backsplash adds personality and contrast to the champagne accents. The reclaimed wood cladding surrounding the large east-facing window introduces a quintessential Colorado vibe, and the natural texture balances the crisp white cabinetry and geometric patterned tile. Minimalist modern lighting fixtures from Mitzi by Hudson Valley Lighting provide task lighting over the sink and at the wine/ coffee station. The visual lightness of the sink pendants maintains the openness and visual connection between the kitchen and dining room. Together the elements make for a sophisticated yet casual vibe-- a comfortable chic kitchen. We love the way this space turned out and are so happy that our clients now have such a bright and welcoming gathering space as the heart of their home!

We created coffered ceilings over the original cement ceiling in order to add LED lighting. A sleeper sofa increases the capacity for overnight guests, and the leather ottoman has a built-in tray center for drinks and snacks. Blush-orange armchairs in a mini print pattern introduce a new color, which is echoed in throw pillows and artwork. The open etagere houses collections and books without closing in the space. A custom area rug adds warmth and grounds the grouping. Photography Lauren Hagerstrom

The glass door in the far corner opens onto a custom wine cellar which was previously occupied by a narrow service stairway. The pivot door leads to the pantry and the kitchen beyond. A seamless lighting system from Belgium was introduced throughout. Furniture by others.

CINEAK INTRODUCES THE STRATO + PLUS STRATO plus + is a slightly modified version of the standard STRATO. The height of the headrest has been extended by 4”/10cm to offer extra head support, especially for the taller individuals. The overall depth of the back of the chair has increased by 4”/10cm and the backrest is slightly slanted, providing an elegant change in overall look of the STRATO. The D-BOX ready option is available on single and double seats! A first-of-its kind line of cinema seating, the STRATO’s truly modular design combines the plush comfort of a couch with the functionality of a traditional upright theater seat.

The vision behind the design of the STRATO can be best described as “a beautiful abstract design, hiding complete functionality.” Architecture by Hugh Newell Jacobsen/Jacobsen Architecture, LLC, Theater Design by John Sugden, Audio Video by: jobesystems.com
