Kitchen

Custom oak cabinetry in the kitchenette was given a modern treatment to balance the more rustic elements in the setting, like the ceiling and antique table-turned-kitchen island. The faucet is by Kingston Brass.

Two-tone cabinets anchor the kitchen, including stained white oak on the bottom and white uppers.

The bright and airy kitchen is located around the corner from the living and dining areas.

Now, a picture window frames the views into the garden, and a tall glass and steel door accesses the backyard.

The drop ceiling was removed to make the kitchen feel larger, and Troy RLM kitchen lights were installed above it.

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.

Just because your kitchen is on the smaller side doesn’t mean you can’t make it as efficient and effective as possible.

Open shelving is a kitchen trend that shows no signs of slowing down.

Juilland reused the existing cabinets but added custom fronts. The countertops are concrete and the fixtures are from California Faucets.

The kitchen and living area occupies the ground level of the double-height interior while a sleeping loft is above.

The designers fabricated everything in the house, down to the quarter-sawn pine and macrocarpa-wood kitchen cabinetry and concrete floor. “Physically the most challenging part of the build was wrestling an incredibly slippery concrete pump up the muddy driveway in the rain!” says designer Ben Mitchell-Anyon.

Originally built in 1920 and purchased by Gehry in 1977, the Gehry House features a metallic exterior wrapped around the original building that leaves many of the original details visible. In 2012, it won the American Institute of Architects’ prestigious Twenty-Five Year Award.
