Relaxing Design

The large sectional helps partition off the living room from the rest of the open plan kitchen and dining areas. Its low profile protects the sense of space and openness.

Oversized Island

A large center island transforms this chef's kitchen into the heart of the home with tons of prep space, an integrated kitchen sink and barstools that pull up for casual dining. Two oversized pendant lights add plenty of light to the space.

Multifunctional Kitchen Space

Green and white is a beautiful color palette that looks striking when accented with black. This is exemplified in this space where spring greens and crisp while millwork turn this sunny kitchen into a happy space for cooking, dining and simply enjoying life. The openness through the kitchen and dining area with plenty of seating makes this a multifunctional space.
