It’s not everyday one has the opportunity to design a Kitchen for a culinary virtuoso.    

This client’s passion to cook and subsequent time spent entertaining meant the new Kitchen needed to be highly functional.

This upper Mission area home’s original Kitchen was dark and awkwardly laid out - leaving the family feeling weighed down and wasn’t inspiring to cook in.

When it came to planning - we wanted to hear from the family on how they wanted the new space to feel.  Their main request was that it be an entirely calm and serene place to come home to, as well as include all the bells and whistles for culinary creativity.

The previous Kitchen (complete with Island featuring the universally dreaded ‘cornersink’.)  has now been completely re-designed.

Now the Kitchen features a stylish and practical Linear Island; with massive double basin sink, hidden dual spray Chrome Faucet, Recycling Station pullout, and Built-In Microwave.  There is substantially more storage and function throughout including a hidden Appliance Garage providing a dedicated home with easy access to various Small Appliances and hidden Espresso Bar.

We designed the new Kitchen to embrace a timeless and natural feel with classic shaker rail custom Cabinetry, striking wide-plank White Oak floors, hand crafted crackle glazed Backsplash tiles, and hidden under cabinet Electrical plugs and lighting.

Minimalist Black hardware picks up on the elegant dark charcoals that move through the veining of the Quartz countertops while oversized Matte Black pendant lights over the Island perfectly capture practical task lighting but dims to a soft glow for evening entertaining.  Which we hear they’ve been doing quite often;)
