A Danish Inspired Kitchen
Location
San Francisco, California
The coffee nook is self serve for starting the family morning routine with a jolt of caffeine.
Light, white and bright. - Danish design mantra
False beams put in place solely to hold those awesome Louis Poulsen lights.
On a sunny day, the light paints little pictures from dawn till dusk.
The island separates a working side, a cleaning side, a social side and a circulation side.
The open shelves over the sink are clear finished white oak.
Notes
I shared a common experience with these clients: we both spent time living in Copenhagen. As you would expect, we came away from our experiences with a deep appreciation of Danish culture and sensibility. Their house in San Francisco, in contrast, had that annoying center court that was good for natural light, but not much else. We took the Danish aesthetic, our fabulous California sunshine and combined them under a jumbo sliding skylight. The center of the house became flooded in light, air and hygge.
