The homeowners’ objectives were to have a kitchen that would be more open to the rest of the home for entertaining, would fade into the background when entertaining, and look modern/contemporary. The kitchen was part of a larger renovation.

Meeting a client need: The new kitchen is full of functionality, but its modern design was specifically intended to fade into the background when entertaining.

To help the kitchen “fade to the background”, high gloss Encore frameless cabinets have touch open features to avoid hardware, even on the refrigerator. The Thermador 36” induction range is also touch screen, free of knobs.

The walnut graining at a 45-degree angle on the wood cabinets matches the angle on the floating table to create symmetry. Cambria Brittanica tops and back splash are artistic yet have a very natural flow. Tops on the island have a waterfall edge to create a modern aesthetic.

The Jason Miller three-sided light fixture was specifically selected to complement the triangular shape of the kitchen, but also look great from every direction. Recessed lighting provides great task lighting. All lights are on dimmers for entertaining.

CONSTRUCTION CHALLENGES/INNOVATIVE CONSTRUCTION METHODS:

The floating island table needed to be comfortable for everyday use but morph into a bar top for events. In order to ensure the table did not pull off, we engineered steel supports that extend through the cabinets and ultimately anchor to the floor joist. Extra electrical outlets hidden under the table increase its functionality.

The electrical rough-ins were more challenging with the cabinet and appliances selected. Touchless opening upper cabinets doors required additional electrical circuits for operation.
