The kitchen in this new house has a custom wood trellis that anchors the space, brings down the ceiling height, and adds visual warmth. The efficient layout includes an L shape of cabinets with an island and buffet flanked by wood columns. On the north-facing wall, a clerestory window brings in natural light. Below, the sliding window above the kitchen sink acts as a pass-through to the outdoor covered eating deck.

A wall of windows frames this range, hood, and custom vent cover. The island with prep sink and raised eating counter add to the functionality of the space. The Cambrian Black granite in leathered finish provides a low-maintenance alternative to soapstone.

Detail of the kitchen island counter top contrasts the simple, clean lines of the cabinets against the natural edge of this top. The material was harvested from an elm tree on the property. The final product takes advantage of the organic shape under the bark. An all-natural finish highlights the grain of the wood.
