The kitchen is as minimalist as the rest of the house. A metal mesh curtain provides a subtle division between work and living areas. The curtain is retractable and stores out of the way in a wall pocket when not is use. Photo: Ben Rahn

The kitchen was left as open as possible so that the view of the water could be accessible from the family room through the kitchen and out of the large bow window in the dining room. This kitchen’s clean contemporary lines stand in contrast to the homes otherwise traditional framework. Photographed by: Rana Faure

this kitchen is in a large open loft. this white on white kitchen was created with white glass upper cabinets, white lacquer lower cabinets, and blizzard caesarstone counters. Stainless steel appliances and island cabinets add some contrast. a library ladder rail traverses the entire kitchen to enable access to the top level of cabinets giving the kitchen quite a bit of extra storage. in the center of the kitchen is a movable island on lockable casters. the counter of the island overhangs the cabinetry allowing two stools to be used, creating an eat-in kitchen.
