This apartment was built approximately ten years ago and the homeowner wanted a
brighter, modern and more functional space.
The dark brown cabinets were replaced and run all the way up to the ceiling in order to
create a clean, airy and modern feeling with White Cape Elm finish. The tilt-out range
hood by Faber is exceptionally quiet and powerful and the Picasso gold finish creates a
focal point in the room. We also ran the same gold finish on all baseboards, under all
upper cabinets and as a decorative stripe under both display cabinets to tie the whole
room together.
The cooking zone, which is on one wall, features a beautiful Thermador induction stove
top and integrated Thermador fridge and freezer on the opposite wall. There is a beautiful
heavy-duty double sink with a stunning Aqua brass faucet with a matching built-in soap
dispenser and a Thermador built-in dishwasher.
The countertop is a matte quartz with Calacatta veining that allows intense cooking
without any hesitation. In order to maximize travel of light throughout the space and make
the space airier and brighter, we maximized distance between the countertop and upper
cabinets (24.5" space) and continued the same quartz material on the backsplash. We
also eliminated all of the outlets from the walls and moved them under the upper cabinets,
in order to keep the veining on the slab uninterrupted.
Admirable in Altamont — The challenge was to add
all the outdoor living luxuries that the client wanted,
while still having it look consistent and harmonious
with the home's heritage architecture. The casual
seating area would be used the same way an interior
living room would be used. For this exterior renovation,
we added significantly more patio space by reducing
the width and increasing the length of the pool. We
also added an infinity edge which accented the
exceptional view of the ocean. This change in size also
allowed for the pool to be centered on the kitchen
window, making its new location purposeful and
providing the idea that this was its originally intended
location. Now when looking out from the sink area in
the kitchen, one can see directly down the center of
the pool over its infinity edge to the view beyond.
