The kitchen, like the rest of the house, forms a mosaic of different materials and textures. The design team wanted to create an old-world environment with a built-in cooking hearth--featuring the latest in ovens and cooking surfaces from Jenn-Air--surrounded in stone, tile, woods, and other elements.
An expansive island, painted with an almost black matte finish, takes center stage and is another example of this contrast of new and old. Topped with DuPont Zodiaq quartz surface and outfitted with two sinks, it provides plenty of space for informal dining, meal preparation, or even doing homework.
The WoodMode cabinets feature other modern conveniences, such as a handy flip-up door that conceals the Jenn-Air microwave. A tumbled marble, ceramic, and carved-tile backsplash contrasts with the wooden cabinetry, which has basket-weave doors and drawers.
