The home features a full open kitchen with a Vipp V1 Kitchen in black aluminum and stainless steel. “The Vipp products are very functional, and the kitchen has a wonderful lightness as it stands on legs,” says Thomas. “The black color of the kitchen and the stone floors match incredibly well.”

Despite their dark color palette, black and white kitchens can still feel bright. This tiny kitchen perfects the art of chiaroscuro with white shiplapped walls, custom-built open shelves and dark concrete floors. The owners selected sleek faucet fixtures by Santec and a sink by Blanco to complement the white laminate countertops. The stainless steel appliances include a Bertazzoni oven, Fisher & Payel refrigerator, and Thermador dishwasher.

The stairs, built of white-stained engineered oak, connect the lower-level living area with the kitchen and bedrooms.

The shiny metallic ribbon lining the kitchens counters and cabinets make the space unique.
