This transitional style kitchen design in Ithaca includes white Purestyle laminate cabinets from Aristokraft that are packed with customized storage features. The kitchen cabinets are designed to optimize storage and organization, with rollout trays in the base cabinets, base pantry pull outs, and large drawers. The cabinetry is complemented by Jeffrey Alexander hardware and ANA granite countertops, along with a beveled subway tile backsplash from Virginia Tile. GE Profile slate appliances fit perfectly in the design, including an 18" wide dishwasher. The double bowl stainless undermount sink pairs perfectly with a pull out sprayer faucet. Brown laminate flooring is a practical and stylish contrast to the otherwise white kitchen design.

The steel exo-skeleton cradles a floating radiant concrete floor platform. A shallow sloped exposed timber-framed roof structure serves as a metaphorical forest canopy umbrella and optimally orients the photovoltaic solar panel system to the southwest. A continuous clerestory wraps all sides of the house, bathing the interior spaces in natural light and providing serendipitous views into the treetops from within. photo credit: Ben Benschneider
