This project was a collaboration with Office 42 Architecture and the client’s established decorator, Kevin Beer. Therefore, it was paramount that my work be cohesive with the existing look and feel of the house. I sought to respect and extend the design elements and thoughtful care in the home to ensure that the client’s lifestyle is supported.

Taking cues from the living room built-in cabinet doors, I repeated their latticework in the kitchen cabinet doors. Removing the cabinets that flanked the showcase window above the sink made it the star of the room. Hidden storage became essential. White subway tiles, a sculpted plaster hood, and open shelving brighten the space and add height.

The family is delighted with their new kitchen. It seems the whole is equal to more than the sum of its parts.
