Remodeled-Kitchen & Family Room: Quiet Luxury with a Natural Palette
This remodel reimagines the heart of the home by seamlessly integrating the kitchen and family room into a refined yet inviting open-concept space, grounded in a “quiet luxury” aesthetic and a natural palette.
Kitchen Transformation:
The kitchen layout is completely reworked for improved flow and functionality. Major appliances have been reassigned for efficiency:
• The refrigerator is built in and anchors the focal wall providing improved access to both prep and serving areas.
• The range has been centered on the back wall, framed by two- toned cabinetry and a low-profile custom hood accented with brass that blends seamlessly into the wall for an understated look.
• The dishwasher and sink have been relocated to the new central island, allowing for uninterrupted views across the room and better interaction with guests or family.
At the heart of the space is a large central island, topped with Taj Mahal quartzite in soft beige and taupe tones. The island serves as a multi-functional hub.
The cabinetry is custom-built in white oak, finished in a matte clear coat that highlights the wood’s natural grain. Hardware is kept minimal, in brushed brass for a touch of subdued elegance.
Natural Palette & Materials:
The entire space embraces a natural color scheme—warm whites, layered pastel beiges and natural wood tones—accented with natural stone. Leathered Taj Mahal backsplash with subtle texture adds quiet visual interest without overpowering the calm atmosphere.
Family Room Integration:
The kitchen flows effortlessly into the family room, unified by wide-plank oak flooring and soft lighting. A fluted marble-clad fireplace anchors the space, surrounded by, built-in shelving with the same oak finish inside as the kitchen cabinetry. Furnishings follow the same philosophy: clean lines, neutral fabrics, and a mix of soft textures. Think boucle armchairs, a deep linen sectional, and a reclaimed wood coffee table.
Lighting & Finishing Touches:
Soft, layered lighting—including recessed lights, sculptural clear pendant lights above the island, and concealed LED strips—enhances the serene mood.

This modern bar is the perfect mix of style and function. Warm wood cabinetry, mirrored open shelving, and a bold glass-enclosed wine display create a sleek, inviting space. A durable white quartz countertop and soft lighting add to its refined, effortless appeal—ideal for entertaining in style.

These are returning clients of Sosna, for whom we previously completed a Laundry Room and multiple Bathroom renovation.
They are a family of professionals in the restaurant industry, who returned to Sosna to renovate their outdated, and cramped Kitchen. They found it especially cramped when entertaining guests, as the only space to gather was around the cooking area.
During the renovation process, it was discovered that the existing window had leaked and caused extensive damage to the exterior wall. This damage was repaired with new framing and insulation, and a larger window was installed allowing for a beautiful view of the backyard.
In the newly renovated Kitchen, a large peninsula in the center of the room features unique grooved panels with LED lighting and a quartz waterfall countertop. Creating the grooved panels to align perfectly with the tall cabinets on the opposite wall and also fit the LED channels required detailed and careful calculations.
This peninsula not only enhances the aesthetics of the space but also serves a functional purpose. It provides a designated area for food preparation and cooking behind it, while the opposite side remains a convenient and safe space for entertaining, allowing guests to communicate and interact with their hosts effortlessly.
The back wall of the Kitchen features the stove and large hood cabinet, which are flanked by 2 appliance garages to hide and store small countertop appliances. As well, cabinetry that is fully loaded with drawer and cabinet accessories with pull-outs and inserts keeps the countertops free from clutter.
The right side of the Kitchen includes the fridge, pantry, and tall cabinetry with plenty of useful storage. A wine fridge and built-in coffee machine are conveniently placed for entertaining.
Given the new cabinetry was a mix of doors with a thin shaker profile, and doors with grooves, the installation of knobs and handles required careful measurement to ensure that they not only fit the grooves, but lined up for a clean and cohesive look.
Our clients are overjoyed with their unique and beautiful Kitchen, uniquely designed for both their daily lives, and entertaining needs.

Nestled in the heart of San Clemente, this light-filled kitchen was designed to capture the calm, effortless charm of San Clemente. Due to new wood flooring the existing layout was preserved, but every surface was reimagined to feel fresh, functional, and timeless.

This bathroom feels like quiet luxury with warm, organic textures, very elevated but not flashy.
The overall Style is Transitional with a soft contemporary edge. This primary bathroom feels calm, layered, and intentionally neutral, spa-like but with richness. A refined mix of rich walnut cabinetry, Taj mahal stone, and soft brass accents creates a space that feels both timeless and elevated.
The custom fluted vanity in deep walnut brings texture and craftsmanship, while the thick mitered stone countertop and full-height backsplash add quiet drama. Wall-mounted brass faucets keep the lines clean and architectural, complemented by a graceful arched mirror that softens the space and adds a subtle statement.
In the shower, vertically stacked neutral tile enhances the height of the room, paired with recessed stone niches for seamless functionality. A frameless glass enclosure maintains openness, allowing the warm brass fixtures to shine. The sculptural Kohler Japanese soaking tub and floor-mounted tub filler introduce a spa-like moment, balanced by natural textures and thoughtful styling.
Every detail was chosen to stay within a cohesive warm palette, layered neutrals, organic materials, and tailored finishes, creating a bathroom that feels serene, sophisticated, and effortlessly luxurious.

The striking patterned tile and green walls create visual drama, while the warm wood vanity and matte black fixtures bring balance and warmth. A mix of textures and tones gives this Old Town Alexandria space it`s effortlessly curated, modern charm.

This renovated basement is a moody, elevated entertaining space designed for gathering, unwinding, and lingering a little longer. A rich black paneled wall sets a dramatic backdrop, balanced by light wood floors, warm neutral upholstery, and sculptural brass accents that add a subtle glow. The mix of tailored furnishings and organic elements creates a refined yet relaxed atmosphere—equally suited for bourbon tastings, game nights, or shooting pool in the billiards room. Thoughtful lighting and bold artwork bring depth and personality, while the open layout allows the space to flow effortlessly from bar to game table to lounge. The result is a sophisticated retreat that feels intimate, inviting, and unmistakably cool.

The owners of this 1970s-era split-level on Lake Calhoun recently added a third story bringing the home up-to-date with attractive soffits, angles, and half-walls built to create depth and dimension. But in a house where every room registered a dull white, a healthy dose of color becomes the true force for modernizing this space. The homeowners asked Otogawa-Anschel to bring color into their lives.
The standalone fireplace in the room’s center wears an entirely different chromatic palette on each side. From the sleeping area and looking out toward the lake, cool tones tease out the aqua and dark blue in the slate fireplace surround. From the opposite side, warm hues pick up the rose and violet of the same material. The wall separating the bedroom from the bathroom boasts a rich adobe red, set off by a gold soffit and a rich chocolate panel. The bold, earthy color triad serves as the eye-catching anchor point for the room.
Asymmetrical glass block flanking the bathroom vanity opens up an otherwise restrictive space, allowing it to communicate with the walk-in closet on one side and the natural light spill on the other. Because the green glass block diffuses the light, the room’s colors work to compensate for this softening. A mix of tangerine, pale green, and lemon yellow tile used in the shower find a place on the floor and walls as well for a burst of synthetic sunshine designed to shift and bend depending on vantage point. The gently morphing pattern eliminates the flat sterility of white tile and ordinary glass block.
The transition from the second floor to the third floor features a combination of yellow hues that also appear to shimmer and shift with the movement of natural light through the space. In the intense afternoon sun, the pigments lose their distinction and become a solid glowing wall. As the sun sets, they regain their individual character.
Like any healthy relationship, the living room and dining room work together while maintaining independence. In the living room, a soft suede wall gives way to the room’s large bank of windows and smartly complements the stone fireplace. Muted greens and golds segue effortlessly to the spectacular lake view. Meanwhile, the vibrant tones of the dining room tastefully contrast the cool calm of the living area.

The serene bedroom is anchored by a soft green shiplap accent wall behind the bed and opens directly to the backyard, creating effortless indoor/outdoor living with easy access to the pool and outdoor entertaining spaces.

Landscapes that overpower homes are all too common. On this project, the clients and our team worked together to create something sophisticated, but understated.
Flagstone borders and rubble inlays on the parking pad provide texture and interest, where once there was an asphalt driveway. Reclaimed wall stone (laid in a traditional country style) frames the lower entrance in a warm effortless way.
A mix of rectangular flagstone dissects the large sweeping lawn, leading to a side sitting area, or the front door. Lazy, loose perennial gardens soften all the edges and complete the picture.
