Neolith Porcelain Countertop

Neolith porcelain surfaces mimic the look and feel of marble on the kitchen island. The all-natural, innovative material is resistant to scratching, heat and cold and is easy to clean.

Resin Cabinetry

Resin cabinetry by Swiss Krono is cast to have the look and feel of real wood. The material is resistant to everyday wear and tear expected in a kitchen. Tinted mirrors located on either side of the far cabinet make the kitchen feel deeper.

Obscuring an Unwanted View

A glass panel tinted in a dark brown hue is hung in front of a window, obscuring a less-than-ideal view. Two squares were left without paint to allow the natural light into the kitchen. As day turns to the night, the squares come to match the painted parts of the glass.

Lighting Scheme

Natural light from the adjacent lounge area flows into the kitchen, giving it a soft glow. Task lighting is offered via recessed lights, pendant lights and the hood located over the island.
