The clients wanted a kitchen that fit their personality—an industrial and modern design with natural materials to add warmth and a chef’s kitchen that opened up to the dining room. The Scandinavian style cabinets are inspired by those in the couple’s favorite tea shop. Open cubbies allow easy access for this chef’s go-to cooking essentials. The Baltic core plywood edges were treated as a feature element, and honed black granite countertops were finished with a raw edge. Blue Fireclay glazed brick tiles create a striking focal point, with the roughness and shine providing contrast to the honed granite and maple cabinets.
