RENOVATION + FURNISHINGS + STYLING DESIGN

Nestled in the heart of refined living, our latest kitchen and pantry design celebrates the convergence of craftsmanship, tonal harmony, and timeless European sensibility. This space is not merely a kitchen—it’s an immersive experience. A canvas of soft, chalky neutrals paired with organic textures tells a story of everyday luxury reimagined.

At the center of the design is a grand quartzite island, veined like an oil painting, flanked by woven-back bar stools that invite casual gathering without sacrificing elegance. Oversized iron pendant lights anchor the room with sculptural boldness, casting gentle shadows that dance along the waterfall countertop. Custom millwork, painted in a warm putty tone and outfitted with matte black hardware, adds dimension and a calming symmetry to the space.

The true soul of the kitchen emerges in the chef’s nook. Here, rustic limestone walls blend seamlessly with hand-troweled plaster and a dramatic arched hood surround. The professional-grade Sub Zero Wolf range is crowned with a pot filler and veined stone backsplash—an ode to function meeting form. Nearby, triple architectural sconces draw the eye upward, adding movement and contrast with their striking silhouette against the textured stone walls.

Just steps away lies the hidden gem: a bespoke pantry. Drenched in earthy cocoa olive tones with vertical paneling and soapstone-style counters, the space offers visual serenity and utility in equal measure. Apothecary-style jars line the counters beneath floating open shelves, echoing an old-world charm updated for modern living.

Completing the composition is a star of the show arched bar moment—moody, glamorous, and unexpected. Set into a hand-chiseled limestone niche, antique custom designed mirror and alabaster and brass accents reflect the soft light while inviting impromptu toasts and crafted cocktails.

This home doesn’t shout—it whispers luxury through its layered palette, honest materials, and balance of old and new. From daily family moments to high-end entertaining, this kitchen is as hardworking as it is breathtaking.
