contrast with the clear-coated MDF
paneled walls of the adjacent foyer,
where the panels alternate with illuminated recessed arches. River White
granite countertops brighten the space
and provide a contrast to the darker
wood of the cabinets. Iridescent glass
tiles in a smoky gray tone on the backsplash cover the entire wall and extend
around the corner to the pantry. A
paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele
dishwasher and Wolf microwave oven
provide additional functionality.
Originally a narrow galley kitchen that
barely accommodated more than one
person at a time, this award-winning
design from RisherMartin Fine Homes
in Austin, TX showcases a space that
is now bright, modern and open. To
open up the space in this mid-century
kitchen, the design team used the formal dining room space and turned the
kitchen to face the living room. New
Jenn-Air appliances with white foating glass faces were added to bring
a sharp, clean feel to the design and
blend with the contemporary white
cabinets. Behind the cooktop, a marble backsplash was added to create a
textured element in the sleek room. A
Hanstone countertop from Hanwha
Surfaces tops the island, increasing
counter space, and white barstools invite family and friends to gather. Birch
wood foors add warmth the room.
