The focus in this small kitchen was on materiality and sophistication, achieving a balance between expanding cooking areas and retaining ample appliance size.

Pastello marble serves as a central feature in the kitchen, complemented by velvety-textured oak wood and balanced by lighter upper cabinets. High-end metal flush pulls enhance the modern cabinetry lines. A Sub-Zero refrigerator and Wolf gas range cater to any chef's aspirations. A cleverly designed wine cellar is incorporated into the lower cabinets, while a stone ledge wraps around the sink area. The marble countertop extends seamlessly into the backsplash, showcasing its flowing pattern as a striking design element. Additionally, a cozy breakfast area is included at one end of the space.

The entry area, located just off the elevator, needed additional storage for keys and small items. We added a built-in cabinet that matches the kitchen's wood tone, featuring open shelving and drawers. One drawer includes a built-in charging station for phones and small devices. The existing fireplace was clad in new stone, and a niche was created to seamlessly integrate the TV.

Additionally, the renovation features new lighting, including LED under-cabinet lights in the kitchen and a stylish Allied Maker sconce above the entry built-in.
