The mixing of limestone, marble, and synthetic material add for both a visually and texturally diverse kitchen, that is spacious and brightly lit.

Now, built-in sofas line the perimeter of the room and utilize the room’s shape better.

The extension’s exterior walls and roof is wrapped in Scottish larch cladding.

The exposed brick wall on one side of the dining area is the home’s original wall. “We didn’t plaster the bricks, to help save costs and as a nod to the original house,” says Jenny.

Pine plywood sourced from Specialised Panel Products has been fitted between the dining rafters and under the kitchen rafters, as well as in door frames throughout the ground floor.

The kitchen and kitchen lighting were planned and organized by Jane Ariyoshi of Kozo Designs, Tiburon. The cabinetry was crafted by Herb Zacks Woodwork, Petaluma. The live-edge shelves are by Karl Stark of Peroba Reclaimed Wood, Richmond.

Lambert & Fils lights are suspended over the island.

Stained pine siding covers the kitchen appliances and hides away storage. The granite island doubles as indoor firewood storage.

The main entry leads to an open layout, connecting the living areas with the interior atrium.

All of the door and cabinet hardware, lighting, appliances, plumbing, and accessories are black to create consistent pops of depth and definition throughout the interior.

The only piece of art in the kitchen is also Jo's first-ever auction purchase: a portrait of a woman by an unknown 17th-century European artist won at Christie's in the 1980s.
