The kitchen counter steps up to bar counter height, then waterfalls down to the ground in order to create an informal sitting area with bar stools. This area also creates an informal separate of the kitchen from the adjacent family room. The custom wood paneled doors are visible on the left, and the door to the wet room/ laundry in the rear right. The ceiling is a custom stained doug fir and the floor are wide oak planks (with radiant heat below). Photo 8 of 20 in La Mesa Residence by Dutton Architects
