THE KITCHEN
Designed with deep thoughtfulness, this kitchen ensures no detail is left unconsidered. Natural materials ground the space while bronze accents and the subtle curvature of the island introduce a layer of modern sophistication. The exaggerated scale makes it a true host’s dream—anchored by an oversized island made for gathering and outfitted with some of the best appliances available. It’s a kitchen that balances beauty and performance, equally suited for everyday living and effortless entertaining.

THE PANTRY
This moody, utilitarian pantry feels like stepping into another world the moment you leave the kitchen. Bold and immersive, the color-drenched space elevates function into an experience. A generous amount of counter space makes hosting seamless, while soapstone countertops and casing envelop the room in natural texture. Heavily grained oak shelving plays off the veining of the stone, adding depth, movement, and richness to this striking yet hardworking space.
