The open kitchen features a Caesarstone-topped center island and semi-custom Canyon Creek cabinetry.

The modern, minimalist kitchen contrasts the home's more rugged exterior.

The kitchen joinery is by Barnaby Reynolds.

Cool blue panels hang along one side of the kitchen wall.

Skylights dramatically brighten the kitchen.

Expansive oak-framed pivot doors frame views of the rear garden, and also form a functional extension to the kitchen for dining, socializing, and play.

Here, more traditional details give way to contemporary design. Unadorned Anigre veneer millwork frames boldly articulated elements, such as the black lacquer espresso station and linear stainless-steel bar. The large island provides increased workspace, and the cabinets add extra storage without destroying the clean, contemporary lines. The flooring is Loire Limestone.
