Architect Maggie Wylie of Point B Design Group designed a new multigenerational house for a couple in Austin, Texas, that would comfortably accommodate an older family member with late-stage Alzheimer’s in the near term and become a home they can expand for themselves and their children.

The crisp white kitchen features appliances built into the cabinetry and marble countertops.

The home’s kitchen features dual Miele ovens, Thermador refrigerator and freezer, and Thermador induction cooktop. A feature wall clad in natural Carrara marble sits behind sliding cabinet uppers.

The kitchen is the heart of the home and features a nearly 20-foot-long Tasmanian Oak workbench.

This minimalist Belgian kitchen extends its marble backsplash up the height of the wall to give the open space a greater feeling of enclosure.

Concreteworks countertops, a Wolf range, Kallista sink, and Boffi faucet also fill the space.
