A graphic black and white tile floor, a waterfall quartz topped island and a stunning copper subway tile backsplash give this open kitchen serious style, while smart technology helps make cooking and daily activities easier.
This wide view of the open kitchen from the great room highlights the efficient layout and serious style of the space, from the custom copper and black light fixture above the waterfall quartz center island to the graphic black and white tile floor.
The island's waterfall quartz top with veining offers display space for vases of flowers or bowls of fruit that add color and texture to the kitchen. The waterfall feature was an important design decision, since this kitchen sits open to the great room.
The cabinets and drawers in the back of the island have a rustic gray finish that shows the grain of the wood, to give the island a special presence that contrasts with the black cabinetry used on the perimeter of the kitchen.
This view of the kitchen from the sitting area in the great room shows the strong connection between spaces, which makes it easy for the host to interact with guests and move from space to space with entertaining essentials.
From speakers and smart phone docks to lights and outlets, an array of modular components that swap out easily are part of the kitchen’s undercabinet lighting system. Mounted on the kitchen wall, an inductive charging wall-mount keeps the home’s tablet charged and ready for use. The phone in this photo is not given away as part of the prizing.
Framed modern art decorates the backsplash to the left of the wall ovens, above counterspace that can be used for displaying potted plants or resting a tray of drinks and plates for an upcoming dinner party.
Normal subway-sized tiles specified in copper create a stunning backsplash for the kitchen, seen here behind the 36-inch five-element induction cooktop with a wall mount 3-speed black canopy hood above. Open shelves on each side of the cooktop offer display storage for books, canisters and decorative items.
Designer Tiffany Brooks took black and white floor tile on a diagonal and made it into a Southwestern tribal pattern that adds stunning style and local flavor to this dramatic open kitchen.
This view from the hallway to the garage looking towards the great room and bar area shows the close proximity the kitchen enjoys to these connected spaces.
The kitchen's top-notch black stainless dishwasher in the center island has a feature that determines the ideal cycle for washing dishes based on the soil level, and then makes real-time adjustments to achieve the best cleaning performance.
The pantry's bench area includes a custom upholstered rectangular bench with lower shelf for shoes and accent pillows for comfort. Modern wall art above the bench dresses up the space.
The storage area of the well-organized pantry also features quartz counters and Shaker-style white painted maple cabinet doors with wall art for decoration and the same funky hardware used for the black cabinets in the kitchen.
A skylight in the pantry, like the ones seen in the adjacent kitchen, includes a touchscreen remote control to open and close from below and remote-operated shades that allow less light in when desired.
This wide look at the open kitchen from the great room shows the handsome design details that give the space style, as well as the multiple storage areas and efficient layout that makes it easy to prepare meals and interact with guests.
