light, bright & timeless

CASE STUDY

Big Canoe Kitchen

This kitchen, for a lovely couple, was an opportunity to transform a traditional “country kitchen” into a clean-lined, warm and light-filled space for two health-conscious first-time homeowners. A smoothie bar, custom cabinet storage for an “apothecary” of nutritional supplements and teas, and pre-planned designated storage for every object allows for a clutter-free space where, instead of being blocked by visual clutter, the eye is drawn up to the newly vaulted ceiling. Natural light now streams in, allowing the couple to stay connected to nature as they nurture their bodies. The flow of the space was modified by eliminating an old pantry that narrowed the room — replacing it with a more streamlined storage that opens up the space. We also moved the cooktop from the island to the opposite wall to allow the island to be more of a clear gathering area for friends. The choice of materials and color-palette — warm white and natural wood tones — was selected to create a timeless, peaceful look for their first & forever home.
